Capítulo 164: Ocean

Emily Molson was not one to run from anything. That much she knew about herself. It was a truth that she was sure of. She had faced down a mob of angry protesters. People who could have very easily killed her in the heat of the moment. But she had stood her ground in front of them, not trying to escape.

She even stood her ground against scumbags like Sebastian Haven on a regular basis. And in all of those times, Emily had never run. In fact, running had been the furthest thing from her mind. That was just what she did in situations that were scary. When push came to shove. Emily pushed back, kicked, and clawed too if she had to, in order to face a situation.

But in that moment, Emily did not feel anything at all like the fierce woman that she knew herself to be. Going over to Derek's place was scary, not because she felt uncomfortable around him, or felt as though she were walking into some sort of trap where she would be attacked.
