After the two couples briefly met, Emerson and Avaleigh returned to their apartment. As soon as they walked in through the front door, Emerson wrapped his arms around Avaleigh's waist from behind and whispered beside her ear, "Sorry for not warning you about my brother and sister-in-law's return. You looked a bit surprised earlier."
Avaleigh sighed and turned around to face her man. How could she not be surprised? "How would you have felt if you saw me suddenly hugging my first love outside our apartment?"
Emerson chuckled, "You wouldn't because that guy was a jerk!"
Avaleigh pouted. That was true. Her first love was a jerk that she never wanted to see again. Unlike Emerson's first love who was smart, beautiful, and kind.
