Emily stood up, she was slightly surprised when Asha had pulled her hand away, but she understood. Asha was scared and at least after awhile admitted she was okay. Emily believed her until the man approached and she stood, tipping some of her coffee on the table. Emily's instincts told her that she was afraid of him. It was the way she stood and kept the chair between them.
Emily didn't understand why she would be afraid of him. Beneath the rough exterior, he seemed to be a good man. The girl he saved had been attached to him at the hip pretty much the whole time and Emily felt a stab of envy. The simple touch that everyone seemed to take for granted that she had been denied because of her own fears. She knew it was an overreaction, but men touching her reminded her of Bryce - and the night he hit her because she wasn't ready for their relationship to go to that level. It didn't help that the man was kind of cute.
She took Asha's reaction to be one of tension caused by the situation. She thought Asha would be alright after given some time to calm down. Her instincts wanted her to do something, but she was unaware of what besides letting the feelings run their course, but Emily would be there for Asha if she needed her. They hadn't known each other for long, but Emily enjoyed her company.
The feeling that Emily had felt from the woman with red hair began to diminish and the woman invited them to join their group for coffee. As the feeling diminished, Emily thought of Chelsea. She had felt that when Chelsea had used her magic. Emily turned to face the woman and blinked before answering.
"I...I'm okay with that. If she's okay."
She turned back towards Asha. "Another cup of coffee might help."
