"Emmett, I love it!" Elle spun around and landed on the couch. Sure, it was a bit messy, but it was charming and elegant. Just like him. Elle smiled, "It's so you."
She watched as Emmett blushed and muttered a thank you. He turned to his cabinets. "Now for that champagne." He opened up the lowest one and bent to look around.
Elle watched him fumble through the cabinets and laughed to herself. She turned her attention to the box in the corner of the room and something caught her eye. Was that a Cosmo? Could Emmett be- no, no he would have told her, they were best friends after all. Unless he was afraid to tell her…
"Emmett," Elle paused, carefully choosing her words, "Are you . . . gay?"
Emmett quickly stood up, forgetting he was still in the cabinet. Elle heard the bang as his head hit the underside of the counter.
"Ow!" He pulled himself out of the cabinet. "Wh-Why would you ask that?"
Elle held up the magazine. "I saw the Cosmo."
"I figured." He handed her the champagne and sat down. "No, I'm not gay. They're yours. Actually, everything in that box is yours."
Elle was touched. He has kept everything he took from her dorm, even though he threatened to throw it all away. "I can't believe you kept it all. I was so prepared to never see it again." She giggled.
"Yeah, well I guess you can have it back now," Emmett said, "You definitely earned it."
"Aww thanks Emmett." Elle hugged him. She suddenly got that feeling again. That feeling she had when she hugged him after the trial. That feeling of wanting to kiss him. She ignored it and pulled away. "But I couldn't have done it without you."
"Well no, since I had to supervise you." He laughed. "But other than that, you did it alone."
