The next morning, Emma tightened her ponytail, grabbed her gym bag, and glanced at the door to Alex's room.
She had gotten used to checking in with him anytime he was home before heading out, but after her decision to create some distance between them last night, she hesitated.
Would it be wise to tell him?
No, she thought, shaking her head. If she told him now, he might decide to take her or join her or even want her to use the in house gym. She didn't want that.
She adjusted the strap of her bag and headed out without knocking.
A while later, Alex stepped into the hallway, glancing instinctively at Emma's door. Was she still asleep? He thought, deciding to check with her.
After knocking a few times, he decided to check what was happening inside. Gently he pushed the door and was surprised to see the door open.
