Connor sounded like a great guy, and Emily felt really happy for them. "Connor sounds like a really special guy. I'm very happy for you two."
Emily's smile was genuine.
Emily stifled another yawn. Jet lag wasn't very fun. Her meeting tomorrow as at 9:00 AM and she didn't want to wake up too early. At the same time she was unsure of what would be better. It was really the first time she had been out of the country for business reasons.
She thought she should probably get ready for the meeting, but found herself not quite ready to go back to the hotel room. These women seemed really friendly and, despite the excitement that had occured, for the first time in a couple of weeks, Emily felt relaxed and well...normal. It was a good feeling.
"I'm sorry about all the yawning. I'm jet-lagged and have this business meeting tomorrow morning. It's also way too early to go to bed. Do you guys want to go do something - shopping - not necessarily wedding shopping - that's for your bridal party - see a museum...anything. It's just..."
Emily sighed. "For the first time in two weeks, I feel relaxed and want to keep that for a little bit longer. Really right now the last thing I want to do is go back to my hotel room and think about what I'm going to say to these people tomorrow."
Emily found herself surprised that she was saying these things. She also felt a little ashamed at being a little selfish, but the truth was she felt like it. She had thought little of herself since Mom and Dad had died. She had to be a constant comfort to her sisters, she had been there for Asha ans Sasha today. The give, give, give was taking it's toll and for once she wanted someone to be there for her, but it wasn't really in her nature to ask.
"Sorry about that little outburst. It's been a rough couple of weeks. Maybe I need a vacation."
