After making it through week number two. It would have been safer to go another week without seeing each other after hours. Doing that would have added an extra layer of security to them. The threat of being found out no longer feeling so ever present.
On Monday, despite being tired. Emily still believed that.
She got ready for work with every fiber in her being, believing that when she finally arrived at Haven Group headquarters and saw Derek, she would pull him aside and have a talk with him.
"Derek, I know that it is hard. But I think that it would be in our best interest to add one more week to our abstaining from each other,"
"That way, we will know for sure that your uncle has lost interest and is no longer searching for anything. Alright?" Emily had actually imagined herself saying those exact words. Her little speech ending with Derek looking over at her and nodding in agreement.
