4.

Jack didn't know what he would be walking into when he came home at the end of his shift. It had bothered his thoughts all day. How could he ease the conflict in his home and heart? He couldn't take much more fighting with Emma. He didn't know how to help Willy. Should he do more to help him? Could he do more to help him? He sat in the garage when he arrived home to mentally prepared himself for another night. He hoped for the best and expected- what he always seemed to get. Emma upset and worried, Willy, being post-crash Willy. He suspected there would be tension but what differed would be the amount.

When Jack opened the garage door into the house, he was genuinely surprised. The house was quiet- but felt light. Emma came to him and kissed him like she meant it. She seemed bright bubbly and happy- like she used to be. Jack asked,

"Ok- what is going on here?"

She smiled at him and kissed him again,

"I'm just happy to see you, silly."

Jack narrowed his gaze highly suspicious,

"Ok, who are you- and where is my wife?"

Emma punched his meaty shoulder and said,

"Not funny, babe. I am in just a good mood and glad to see you. I'm sorry about last night."

He teased,

"Now, I really know you are an imposter."

The joke may have been pushing the line of good taste after her speculations the night before, but Emma didn't show irritation at it. She just said,

"I think your talk with him really did help. We had a talk in the morning, and he has started to do some art therapy. He doesn't want me to tell you this, but he is an amazing drawer!"

Jack was surprised and didn't bother hiding it as he said,

"I never knew that about him. He's never had an interest in art before that I know of."

Emma said,

"He seems like his old self again. When he was drawing, I could see it. He did get a headache after, but it was a breakthrough babe."

Jack felt tension leave his body and a weight lift from his soul. He said,

"That is amazing. Did you tell him about the art therapy? Is he ok, now?"

Emma looked back towards his room,

"He came up with it on his own, apparently he watched some video on it or something last night. He laid down after lunch and hasn't emerged since. I went out with Ronnie for a little while. Yes- before I left, I made sure he was ok."

Jack laughed, genuinely laughed and it gave Emma butterflies in her stomach to hear it.

"Sounds like you got what you needed, too."

She said,

"To be honest, I think I did need to get out of the house of stinky boys; and have some girl time."

Jack acted offended,

"Stinky boys, huh?"

He grabbed Emma and rubbed himself all over her where he could get hold. She squealed and giggled. She pushed him off her and told him,

"Go have a shower, you grot. You smell like stinky bin juice.
