It was december 24 at about 10 pm. i was coming back from talking to my landlord to try and see if i could talk him into lowering my rent bill. i didn't go so well. we had an argument because i still havent paid off last months rent. i started going to town hall to walk Emily home. it was snowing and i know she doesn't like walking home alone at night. i opened the door and the little bell that hit the door when it opens rang. it didn't catch her attention because she was to busy finishing up paperwork on the last town project. i knocked and walked in. "well you seem busy." i said. she jumped a little while turning around, "you scared me!" she chuckled. i laughed. "we should head out" i said as walking behind her desk."i know but im almost done w-" i interrupted her. "she would have wanted you to spend christmas relaxing, not locked in this place working all night." she sighed. "ok" she stood up and turned off the lamp on her desk. i helped her put her jacket on and i flicked the light switch as we walked out.
