"I didn't compel her, I just told her to stay at home and no going out. She has listen to me for a while now and she knows I will be very angry and disappointed in her. If she did anything stupid like disobeying." Thinking back maybe he should have don't something to make her stay at home, a chain, an extra lock, something...
"I think it might be deeper than just wanting to keep her safe." He sighed. "Emerson, you are my friend so I can be frank with you. I am in love with her and have been for sometime. This is a friend from the past, a male friend. She says it was just friendship, but what if it was more? What if he had feels for her? How can I compare to history? Yes he is evil and I hope to see him turning on a spit sometime, but...if she does ever get him back, where does that leave me?"
