"You know what?" Emma made her decision "Grab your coat. Lets go grab some coffee from the McDonalds"
It looked like she wasn’t going to get back home before David fell asleep after all. And she wasn’t going to get anything out of Miriam either– at least not tonight. She didn’t miss the signs of exhaustion; both physical and mental. The clutter. The way she was barely holding it together. She didn’t want to push her, unload her issues on top of the ones she was already carrying.
What Miriam needed most, at this moment, wasn’t to solve a problem or give advice. What she needed was to get out of her apartment and breathe some fresh air. Talk with someone about anything other than the dangers of the night, after being holed up in her apartment for who knows how long. She could do that much for her
"I promise we’re not going to talk about anything heavy. Just go out, and unwind for a bit. Alright?"
