But what if Sean knew she was unhappy?
He knew when she lied and cried and happy.
And guess what, he did know.
Why else did he try bringing her out and going to therapy?
He knew what it was like to fake happy, come on. He hasn't been with Emma for months and months.
He had to give a show for Ellie…and not many people accused him of lying to her.
But he was lying to himself. It would always come back to Emma
It was always Emma.
So this was his plan, let her be for a while until she was really ready.
And hopefully…she'd talk to him first
Any other and it might just break his heart.
He wanted to be the knight in shining armor for Emma Nelson…who didn't?
So when they go back to school tomorrow, he'd do the drill.
Give her lame jokes, talk about the day and try to make her happy…
…oh, and smother her with kisses.
Yeah, he missed this.
And maybe he can get his real real Emma to come back and enjoy them too.
He knew they loved each other.
Emma was just trying to get over the rape and forget about it…but it's not as easy.
So here he is lying with his love of his life pretending to sleep or at least try to.
If Emma didn't sleep, he didn't sleep.
They were in this together
And she was going to know it.
