Emily got up, dressed, and went downstairs to get ready for work. Iwent into the bathroom, did my business, slipped off my gown, hung itup on the door...and got into the shower. I felt a little better thanyesterday.I was dressed and met Emily in the elevator. We wished each other agood morning as if we just met by chance. She got into her new Camryand I followed her to work in my brand new Jaguar. I had secured a spotfor Emily in the executives parking area so we rode the elevator uptogether. We.

But, I was also worried about why Jase was asking me about my grandma. I think I was half expecting him to tell me that he wanted me to move back in with her and get away from his.
