Emma's POV

it felt strange walking into Will's apartment without him. Yet at the same time she felt completely comfortable. And knew instantly that this was where she was meant to be. This was home. Unsure of what to do she decided to clean up the apartment. She switched on the radio and set to work. By the time she had finished the apartment was spotless. She didn't need to clean and she knew Will would not expect it, she had gotten over her issues with cleanliness whilst with Carl. He just felt she owed it to Will somehow to repay him for everything he had done for her.

Deciding on a change she poured herself a small gin & tonic and added a slice of lime. It had always surprised her that Will kept lemons and limes in a posh glass fruit bowl in his kitchen and had surprised her more to find out that he liked the way they smelt and how it made his kitchen smell. He thought it was exotic.

She settled into the sofa and picked up a book. She hadn't read for a long time and it felt good to have some time for herself and indulge in her passion for romantic novels. She was deeply engrossed in the book when Will walked into the apartment. He was standing in the lounge watching her intently before she realised he was home.

"hi em, good book?" Will smiled his quirky smile.

"yes, sorry Will, I didn't hear you come home, I expected you to be later than this" Emma replied shyly. Will hadn't known that she loved reading and she was embarrassed.

"its 8.30 em, I wasn't planning on being this late, things took longer than I thought."

"oh gosh, is it really that time, I must have been so into this book I didn't realise."

"how long have you been reading for?" Will looked at her questionably

"I don't know" Emma answered "I completely lost track of time" at that moment emma's stomach rumbled and it occurred to Emma that she hadn't eaten.

"did you have something to eat shug?" Will had used the term of endearment without even realising it but Emma didn't seem to notice.

"I was going to" she replied "I was going to do a bit of reading and then make myself something. I must have gotten pre-occupied" she laughed and Will's heart warmed at the sight. He loved hearing her laugh, he knew she was genuinly content and comfortable when she did.

"to be honest, I haven't eaten either, didn't have time" they both giggled "how about we go to the Italian on the corner and grab something."

"that sounds wonderful" Emma smiled and got up to grab her coat.
