"I have to get going," Mr. Jude said, glancing at his watch. "This has been quite the long day."
The others all nodded in a yes manner as they all hailed their goodbyes to Emma, who had just been dismissed that day.
Williams and Sharon gave Emma a smiling encounter and left for their destination.
Emma walked with Robert to his car, and the air was just thick with tension between them.
He drove home and remained silent, looking at the road.
Emma tried to break the silence. "Robert, thanks for."
But the grimace on Robert's face silenced her.
They reached home, and Robert stepped out of the car, still not saying a word.
Emma followed behind him, feeling uneasy.
The steps up to the living room were sounded out in the stark silence.
Emma hovered around, not knowing what to do.
Robert
