I shrug off the thought and focus on the work in front of me, someone needs to be here to hold down the fort.

The meeting went well considering the seriousness in the room about Nathan and otherwise, the day goes by slowly. I try to ignore most of the side talks that I hear going on.

There are now a few theories about why I'm acting as the boss. Some say I have something on Nathan and others think I'm sleeping with him.

Well, I'm not, but what if I were? Could I break his trance? Gees, I don’t even want to think like this. He’s not ready to come to work so he’s certainly not ready to deepen our relationship. Emma what the hell are you thinking?

I stay in the office until eight o’clock, drowning in ink and paperwork, computer assessments, and all that went on today and I’m just totally frazzled.

Jane calls and says she is going over to sit with Nathan and I let her but honestly, I don't think Nathan is the best company right now, they're both grieving. Who's going to be lifting who's spirit? I try to hasten along and finally finish doing most of what had to be completed. It's way past 5 and everyone else has already left the office.

Some didn't even bother to turn off the lights. I sigh and roll my eyes as I start to close everything down. It's pathetic how nonchalant some of the workers around here are becoming. I know that it's a bit normal for workers to loosen up when their boss is not around, but that doesn't mean that they are free from their jobs. It's like no one gives a shit about the company or that they never even cared in the first place.

I find my car where I had parked it this morning then make the short drive home, pondering on how atrocious these past few weeks have been. I know that Nathan is grieving needing time to process and heal but I need him in the office and soon. And I feel like I need him in my arms too, I miss him. I know it's selfish but I’m feeling so overwhelmed.

I decide not to go looking for Jane just yet, I don't know if he ordered pizza or take-out, but I feel it would be nice to bring them something to eat. It’s late so something small, a home-cooked dish from the nearby restaurant we enjoyed in weeks past to soften their mood. I drop my bags and slip inside knowing they will be closing shortly.

I settle for some freshly made pie. Jane has had it several times and loves it: lemon meringue.

I also plan on telling Nathan again about the need for him to be in the office, but I'll hold that until after the pie.

I punch in the code before opening the door gently and there sprawled out on the couch are Jane and Nathan, looking blindly at the TV. I
