NOLAN
My goodness. I had to be a new kind of stupid. What was I thinking coming to see her at a time like this? A time where she was being hunted down like a goddamn criminal?
She stood and I immediately went to her, placed both of my hands on her shoulders, and said, “I'm very sorry, Emily. You're a good friend and you don't deserve this.”
“I'm just so fed up….” her voice broke but I could almost see her mustering up all the strength she had to not break into tears.
It was at this point my brain thought it was time to show her that I was a simpleton. Yes, I did a stupid thing.
A very stupid thing.
You see, as I watched her, all shaky and sad, I guess I became distracted by that face of hers, with memories of that night, and then I forgot myself... and attempted to kiss her.
