When May told Emily she wasn’t able to get an appointment until this afternoon, she was hoping that would end this subject of conversation. But no such luck because Emily went on to ask what she did for the entire morning. May could sense something suspicious in her best friend’s tone and Daniel definitely caught his soon-to-be sister-in-law’s look. He called it ‘The I’m Watching You Look’.
But May was never good at lying; so she refused to look at Emily. "You know, my usual … just kept busy!"
Knowing her best friend expected to hear every single detail of her love life, May knew it was just a matter of time before Emily would force it out of her. But she felt this was not the right time yet. She figured Emily also had too much on her plate. As well, May wasn’t sure where this relationship was going, it seemed everything was happening too fast.
Then a voice broke through, again, out of nowhere. "She took Daniel and me to that waterfront cafe for breakfast!"
