Her Fallen Intentions: Awakenings, Part 6

Holly's sabbatical winds up turning into a legal nightmare at the greedy hands of a desperate Agatha. It is all Holly's legal counsel can do to keep her and things together.

June's nesting with Emma seems all well from the outside. But Holly's return to the office threatens to shatter Emma's illusion of Happily Ever After.

This is the sixth part of the "Awakenings" series and is 7100 words long.



EXCERPT:

"Oh babe! I'm so glad you called. A really big case came in today - me and a few of the other girls are gonna have to pull an all nighter."
"No June!" Her sigh felt like a hot wet blanket through the phone and June regretted the lie almost as soon as it came out of her mouth.
"I know babe, I know. I'll have to make it up to you another time. I haven't been in on one of these cases in a long while - usually I have one of the other girls fill in for me but I can't this time. I'm sorry."
"Alright, I guess I'll just sleep over at my place tonight. And that reminds me - when are we gonna speak about moving in with each other? It's such a hassle to keep two separate places when we're always together anyway..."
"Emma, I told you I'm not ready to talk about that yet. It's a big decision and I don't want to make it lightly. I want to do what's best for both of us, I don't know exactly what that is right now."
"Alright, alright! We're gonna have to talk about this eventually though. I don't see what the big deal is."
"I'll see you tomorrow babe."
"Ok. I love you... See you-" CLICK! June hung up the phone before Emma made her say she loved her too. Which she did, maybe.
