Emily understood Ayden's choice. The dress had to be perfect - like the flame dress. It wasn't about fit or looks. It was about something more ethereal than that, and Emily knew that Ayden would find it.
Emily followed as Ayden paid for her purchase and they left. Ayden wanted a drink and Emily was unsure about drinking. Perhaps she would just have a coke. The day she got back, she had had too much. It hadn't been a good idea. She had at least done it at home, but she woke up hungover and sick. It hadn't done too much good for her shame either.
As they left the mall, she was reminded of it. Although she felt better, it was still there. It would take awhile for it to fully heal. Emily decided no alcohol for her, but she would go get a drink with Ayden. "You lead the way."
Emily would let Ayden decide where to go.
As they walked and talked, Emily came back to her issues, just for a moment. "Ayden...I...I'm sorry I didn't let you know when I got back in town. I was just so ashamed. I didn't want anyone to see me."
Emily wrapped Ayden in a side hug as they walked, but before they could continue, Emily was interrupted by the buzzing of her wallet.
Emily kept hold of Ayden, pulling her wallet out with her free hand. It was from Rachel - just a smiley face. It was a little reminder that her younger sister was thinking of her. Emily smiled, and sent a return message, not worrying about whether Ayden saw it or not.
Emily smiled and started talking again. "My sisters are sweethearts. You know, she's the one that got me to call you. Ayden..."
Emily stopped and gave Ayden a real hug. "Thank you for coming out today."
She released the hug. "i think I'm going to tell my sisters what happened. I think I should. They look up to me, but they need to know that they can make mistakes, that actions have consequences. It's not that what I did was wrong. It's that...I want them to make good choices. Do I sound completely crazy? Is telling them the right thing?"
Emily continued walking with Ayden. Something coming to the forefront of her mind - a job opening that Ayden might be perfect for. She needed to word things right though. She wouldn't give Ayden the job. In fact, she had nothing to do with the hiring process. She would have to tell Ayden about the job, but not leave out the fact that being best friends with the CEO would guarantee it. She would wait to tell Ayden in a more personal setting - maybe set up a meeting in the future.
