Emma changed into a simple white dress after a long time of thinking to herself. She wasn’t in the mood for the party anymore, but didn’t want to ruin it for everyone else. She didn’t want to let them down, her dad and Conrad.
She was buried with thoughts when Will came and found her in the changing room.
“Are you all right?” he came up and asked.
“I’d like to go, if that’s okay.”
Will sighed. He expected that she’d want to leave.
“Not right away, but yes we can go.”
“You don’t have to leave.”
“If you want to leave, I will leave with you. Come on,” he took he hand and escorted her out. They stayed long enough to have another conversation with Conrad and Emmett. They said goodbye to Sabrina and Alex, and then Will took Emma home.
On the car ride back, Wil
