Summary
“Look at me,” Emilie entreats, leaning forward as Nathalie leans away, shrinking in on herself, ignoring the command. Shoulders stiff, hands restless on the bed as if they’d kissed chastely and nothing more. She can’t even hide the wavering of her apology, quiet though it is.
“What happened, Nathalie?”
Nathalie closes her eyes, letting out a sigh. Her throat too constricted for words.
Hand beneath her chin now, lifting it up. Pink-orange light through her eyelids. “Well, this isn’t just jet lag,” huffs Emilie. “I think you can admit that much to me."
Nathalie opens her eyes, meeting Emilie's with intensity. Tears pooling on Emilie’s hand cupping her cheek.
Tenderly, Emilie drops her voice. “Out there—Did something happen between you and—?”
Nathalie makes a mistake. Emilie helps absolve her.
