Emily nodded and got out her wallet. She had contact information for Elyse. [courier new]Hi Elyse. it's Emily. We have Rachel back safe and sound. I wanted to thank you for being there for her while we were at your place last night. I wanted to bring something up. I saw you two almost kiss and I appreciated that you held back. She's very vulnerable right now, and I'm not sure she's ready for that. I'm sorry, this probably comes across as crazy, and I hope you realize this isn't a slight on you or anything. I know I can't tell you what to do or anything, but...sorry is this making any sense?"[/font]
Elyse responded fairly quickly. I do understand. No offense here. You want her to be able to heal and adding a romantic relationship is going to confuse her. I have no intentions of pushing that, regardless of what I'm feeling. Her emotions are jumbled quite a bit. I can smell that, and her emotions are not her own. I don't want to add to that confusion. I think she is a friend and I want to be there for her though. I hope your intention isn't forbidding that."
Not at all, and you both are adults, I really can't forbid anything. I just wanted you to know my concern. I really want you to be there for her too. She connected with you rather quickly. Maybe you could come over some time this week for dinner. We'll have to play it by ear. Her moods shift quite a bit and it's hard to tell when she'll be okay.
I'd like that
Just let me know when.
Emily smiled at that. She turned back to Jared. "That song Nox gave us is helping her calm quite a bit. Maybe that's something we can ask for when it comes to her treatment. Used to help build some pathways."
"I think it's worth a shot," Jared said. "You going to ask for it?"
Emily nodded. "I'll ask. We will see what happens.
She got out her wallet again and texted Nox.
Nox - thanks again for your help and thanks for Ashton's recording. I think that it might be good to have some other songs for her to listen to at times. We're going to have to rewire her brain, I have a feeling this could be a way to assist with that. If your friend is willing to make some recordings for us, I would be appreciative. I would also pay him for his time. Of course you're the expert here, maybe I'm just full of it. Let me know what you think and if Ashton would be willing to help. Thanks!
