Summary: Emma works in a call center simply to pay off her student loans and she absolutely hates it. She lives with her longtime college friend Killian who moved her in with him after a pregnant Emma was abandoned by Neal Cassidy. Almost four years later, they still live together, raising Emma’s son Henry but they are only friends. Emma is afraid to ruin their friendship but maybe it’s time to take a leap of faith and find out if loving Killian is worth the risk.
Author’s Note: I am so proud of this chapter as we arrive back to 2016’s Emma and Killian. It’s been a bit of a walk through their past to get back here so hopefully it doesn’t disappoint. (We will still flashback to their past every now and then). Chapter 6 should be up around Christmas Eve. Enjoy!
When Killian and Emma arrived at home, Killian went to his room to pack while Emma carried Henry, too close to his nap time to be his normal energetic self, to the kitchen to give him lunch and pack a cooler for their trip.
Emma sat Henry at his play area off of the kitchen where she could watch as she pulled a variety of food out of the fridge and cabinets for lunch and anything snacks for the drive out to the beach house. She called Henry into the kitchen and helped him wash his hands as Killian came down the back stairwell into the kitchen. He was wearing tan shorts and a light blue polo shirt that just made his piercing blue eyes even more attractive than normal.
