Emily tried not to stare at this stranger. But no...not a stranger. Why did Emily feel like she knew this man already. There was something so strangely familiar about him.
That was what Emily didn't like. She didn't like the connection she seemed to share with him. Emily wanted to run, her first instinct to call Ayden and ask for advice, but Ayden wouldn't answer. Emily knew that now. Emily also couldn't run. Some unknown force kept her where she stood.
Emily responded to him, telling the man that the fault was hers. It really had been. She had been so focused on finding what was pulling her that she hadn't been paying attention to her surroundings. She had literally run into the thing that she had been looking for.
The man smiled, and she found it attractive. Now that she looked at him, she realized she found him to be a attractive man. More the reason to run. Emily argued within herself. She wanted to run, but she didn't. She had no idea what to do. Should she introduce herself, should she just leave. She took another step back, feeling afraid.
"Okay,"
the man said. "Have a good day, ma'am."
he said, beginning to turn.
"Wait,"
the word came out without thought, surprising Emily as much as it did the man in front of her. The man turned and looked at her.
