Chapter 2

Two weeks after the baby incident, Will officially filed for divorce. He could not stay with someone who hurt him so bad. Even though Will didn't want to be married to Terri anymore, he

was still miserable. He had been with her since high school. He didn't even know how to be single. He knew this change was for the better, and he finally got the chance to do what he

wanted in life, but there was an empty hole in his heart. He needed someone to love, who would love him wandered down the hall on his free period. He found his way to Emma's office.

She was sitting at her desk sanitizing her paper clips when she saw him standing in the doorway.

"Hey Will, what's up?" She asked putting down a paper clip.

"Em, do you have a minute? I need to talk." He answered with his head down.

'Oh, he looks so cute when he's vulnerable.' Emma thought and proceeded to motion for him to sit down.

"What's on your mind, Will?" She asked giving him a concerned look.

"I'm sorry to bother you with this but I just need to talk to someone. I'm going crazy. I feel like I no longer have a purpose, I'm so lonely. Terri didn't make me happy all of the time, but I

did love her, and it was a good feeling to know that I had someone to go home to every night. Now I just go home to an empty apartment." He held back the tears that were threatening

to fall. He didn't want her to see him cry again. When he looked at Emma he swore he saw tears in her eyes. In fact he was sure of it.

"Em, what's the matter? Did I say something wrong?" He was concerned that he might've offended her in some way, though he wasn't sure how.

"No. I'm sorry Will, I know we were talking about you, but what you said about being lonely all the time, you just described my life. I have no one." She started crying freely now. Will

pulled his chair closer to hers and put a protective arm around her.

"Hey, it's ok." He said as he fixed a lock of her hair that was out of place and then proceeded to wipe her tears from her cheeks, gently with his thumb.

"Will I'm really sorry." She said through the tears. "You came to get advice from me and now I'm making you feel worse."

"No Em. I will always be here for you. Hey I have an idea" he said with a smile.

"What is it?" She asked while wiping the last traces of tears from her face.

"Well I was thinking. If we both have to be lonely, why don't we practice being lonely together?" Emma looked up at Will and smiled.

"That could work." She said with a smile.

"Great, then why don't we start tonight. Maybe get some dinner? Maybe a movie?" He asked hoping she would accept his offer.

"It would be my pleasure"

"Great, I'll pick you up at 7?"

"Sounds good." She answered. Her face was glowing.

"Alright see you then." With that Will gets up, but before leaving the office gives Emma a gentle kiss on the cheek. Emma blushed. She hoped Will didn't notice. She sat in her office for the

rest of the day just thinking about what the night would bring.
