Chapter 2
Emily walked into the study very slowly.
Lucky stood and helped Emily to the couch.
As soon as Emily sat down, Elizabeth's arms were around her, holding her.
"Oh Emily. I'm so sorry. Is there anything we can do for you?"
"No, not really. The only thing I need is…is…"
Emily started crying and whispered between tears "…Nikolas".
"Oh Em. Come here."
Lucky waved his arm for her to come.
Emily switched from Elizabeth's arms to Lucky's arms.
"I know this is hard for you. It is for me too but you have to get it through your head that Nikolas is gone and he is never coming back."
"Em, Nikolas would want you to be happy and to move on with your life. He wouldn't want you to be sad because he is dead."
"You guys don't understand! Nikolas was my life! We were supposed to be married in only a few weeks!"
Emily threw Lucky's arms off her and stood up. She took a deep breath and left to wait for the launch.
