Originally, Emily's plan had been to start writing her list of rules at work and finish it there.
But somehow, she had stared at her computer until it had come time for her to knock off. Not a single word written there. She had left the office without even saying goodbye to Derek, feeling as though she had failed somehow because despite being the one to come up with the need for a list in the first place, she had been struggling to write something down.
But as it turned out, the reason that Emily could not come up with anything was not because she did not have any ideas in mind. It seemed that her problem had not been a lack of what to write, but rather the fact that she was nervous, and the presence of Derek in the other room had not been helping matters at all.
