Chapter 125: Can't Find Joy

It was Friday morning and Emily walked through the city streets.

Headphones in her ears as she listened to an upbeat song. The happy tune was an attempt to cheer herself up after another disappointing night. The source of her disappointment being that Derek Haven had not shown up once again.

It was not working. In fact, it was failing dismally. Emily could not seem to get her mood out of the dark place that it was in, no matter how hard she tried. Not even the current song that she was listening to helped. It was one about sunshine, rainbows, and all things good, but it was not enough to cheer her up. On the surface she might have looked passive, but internally her mind was at war.

He does not owe you anything. A part of her hissed. He was just a client at the diner, it said.

But the other part of her disagreed? Yes, he does. He owes me an apology. I need to confront him and talk about it.
