Emily woke around a half hour later, very aware of her being alone as she recalled the night prior's conversation in the shower and the memories. She sighed, getting up and heading downstairs. She found caden and kissed his cheek, wrapping her arms around him. "You said you loved me last night...were you serious?" |

"To trap my feelings, make m bend to your every request, keep me tethered to you for your own pleasure. Why would you actually mean it?" She asked quickly |
| |

She just nodded, trying to stay cautious about the whole thing now that she told him about her ex |

|
"Of what?" Caden asked curiously |

Emily hesitated. "...You" |
