<What?! Just...why are books like that here?!> Don looked at him in shock
<I don't know. But it's good that those two didn't see it> Ray sighed

<the same can't be said about you, since you took care to put them into practice, Ray> Don let out a laugh as Ray gave him a little smile, instigating him

<What. Are you envious because you want to try that stuff too,with Gilda?>
<WHAT?!> Don shouted blushing, attracting the attention of Gilda who stopped

<guys? What's up?>
<N-Nothing! Chats between guys!> Don said avoiding her gaze
Ray couldn't help himself and burst out laughing as he enjoyed the scene

<Don why are you blushing?> She approached him suspiciously as he backed away
<I'm not blushing!>
He was now cornered in the corridor as Gilda stared intently at him
<then why are you yelling?>
<I'M NOT YE- uh?> He broke off when he heard voices approaching them

Ray stopped laughing but when he turned towards the direction of the voices he felt something coming, throwing him with his back to the ground.

<Ouch> he touched his head in pain, slowly opening his eyes.

He saw them

Two huge green eyes that looked at him. Two eyes full of resignation, of sadness.
Emma was on top of him. She was still wearing her cloak and her backpack.

<Emma ...> he looked at her as if he hadn't seen her for ages

<Emma are you okay?> Nat approached and offered her a hand to help her up
She nodded and she got up.
<Sorry Ray. Emma and I were playing tag. Are you okay?>

<Yeah,I'm fine. Emma why do you still have your cloak and backpack?>
Emma gasped when she heard him calling her name.
<I ...>

That image

That memory came back to her mind again

It was clear and sharp as if it was real

Her hands begin to tremble as tears formed in her eyes, hidden by her hair that still fell on her face.

<Emma?> Don approached her friend worriedly and put a hand on her shoulder.
Everyone imitated him starting to get closer.

"It's normal to be jealous"
Oliver's words echoed in her head.
She stopped and took a deep breath trying to calm down.

<I just got back from a hunting trip and I left some medicinal herbs to Anna>
She tried to make the voice sound as spontaneous as possible while she was still staring at the floor
<That's all. Sorry but I have to go now> and she started to run towards the weapons room.

<Emma!> Gilda ran after her as Don turned to Ray, who was looking serious
<do you think something happened?> he asked worriedly
<yes,definitely>

Emma arrived at the weapons room removing her backpack and throwing it in the corner of the room.

"Why does it have to be like this.
I tried to avoid you, to take some time to clear my mind from that stupid scene.
I was about to succeed!

Stupid Ray! "

She took off her cloak and threw it violently on the floor beside her.
She fell to her knees and brought her hands to her face
<Emma!> Gilda yelled when she saw her friend in that state.
<what's wrong?!> she leaned over her as she placed her hands on her shoulders.

<h-he kissed me...and suddenly he told me to forget everything, without even giving me explanations.I thought that was fine with me. I thought that I could still be by his side>
She began to sob, hiding her face in her hands.
