course,” Sue said quickly and left.
    “Are you ok?” Alex asked moving in the water towards her, bringing her bikini top with him. As he handed her the top she quickly secured it around her. “Emily?”
    “I’m ok, just not what I wanted to happen.”
    Alex smiled. “If it helps, I was thoroughly enjoying myself.”
    Emily cracked a smile. “So was I. You make me feel things that I have never felt before, it’s very unnerving at times but yet I’m starting to yearn for it.”
    “You have the same effect on me, Emily.” Alex explained cupping the side of her face and kissing her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. He muttered, “I should go see what Sue wants.”
    Emily nodded as she grabbed the railing and stepped from the hot tub. She reached for her towel as she turned to see Alex right behind her.
    He leaned down and whispered. “Can you promise me something?”
    “Sure.”
    “Promise me that I will see this bikini again before the weekend ends.”
    Emily kissed him and threw a dry towel at him. They walked through the back door and found Sue sitting at the kitchen counter.
    “I’m so sorry, guys. I tried calling first but you weren’t answering,” Sue paused then whispered to herself, “Now I know why.”
    Alex looked at Sue. “What’s going on?”
    “You left the office a little bit too soon. I’m not used to that.”
    Alex smiled at Emily. “I was anxious to get back here.”
    Emily smiled. “I’m going to go upstairs to shower and call Emma.” She left touching his arm as she did.
    When she arrived upstairs, she located her cell phone and called Eric.
    “Hey Emily,” He answered.
    “Hey, how’s my little girl?”
    “She’s wonderful, missing you. Hang on.”
    Emily heard Emma’s voice and started to cry. She missed her so much. Emma told her about Eric’s family and their dog which apparently delighted her. Emily told her how much she loved her and then heard Eric’s voice again.
    “You ok, Emily?”
    “Yeah, just miss her a lot. I just can’t imagine what you will be going through next week.”
    “I’m trying not to think about it, just trying to enjoy her.”
    “Well, I will let you get back to her. I just wanted to check in.”
    “I’m glad you did, Emily. We will talk soon and I will call before I drop her off on Sunday.”
    As they hung up, she put her head in her hands and cried. She heard the footsteps behind her.
    “Please tell me he didn’t do this.” Alex said walking around the bed to see her red swollen eyes.
    Emily shook her head. “No. For once, he didn’t. I'm just missing Emma, that’s all.”
    Alex sighed and pulled her up into his embrace. “I know you do, Baby. Let’s try to get your mind off of it for awhile.”
    Emily nodded. “Sam and the crew will be here shortly. That should help distract me.”
    “Why don’t you go take your shower and I will do some quick work.”
    “Is everything ok?” Emily asked.
    “Yes, just some things I forgot to do.”
    Emily looked concerned. “Alex, I’m distracting you from your job. Are you sure about this? I would feel horrible if something gets overlooked because of me.”
    Alex took her back into his arms. “I just need to learn how to balance everything, that’s all. I’m not used to this but I'm sure as hell enjoying it.”
    Emily laughed as she kissed him lightly. She headed towards the shower leaving him to his work. She had time to think about how Eric would be leaving for Denver next week. He would be starting his new life without her. She felt her heart break again. She leaned back against the shower wall and sighed. She wanted Emma to know her father but how was that going to be possible now. She needed to work out some kind of plan for them.
    As she finished, she dried her hair and wrapped a towel around herself. Alex wasn’t in their room. She found a pair of shorts and t-shirt to wear for the picnic. She did her makeup, finished her hair and she went to find him.
