Emily turned her computer on. She held her breath listening to the familiar whirs and fans coming to life. She could do this. She hadn’t logged onto the game in well over a week. Her plan was to go in, send Commander a congratulations message about his new baby, check her inbox and then turn it off.
Baby steps, she could do this.
Her anxiety built as she watched the screen light up with the familiar flaming background as the gaming company's logo filled the screen before the music started.
It was music that she had found comforting, now it had her heart racing and her palms sweating. What if he was on, what if he tried to message her? Emily selected her avatar and typed in her password. She could do this, she wouldn’t let him affect this part of her too.
