LuminousLakes
as she walks away, she hears her say something
quickly turns to face where GigglyFuzzy had walked away, curiosity piqued Did she say something? What could it be? starts walking towards her
LuminousLakes
she waves back at Emily, with a smile on her face
breathlessly catches up to GigglyFuzzy, slightly out of breath GigglyFuzzy, I couldn't help but overhear you saying something. Is everything alright?
LuminousLakes
"Oh, yeah... I was just saying that I really appreciate you being there for me today... it means a lot."

LuminousLakes
"No, no... I'm fine. Really. Thanks again, Em."
furrows her brows, concerned Are you sure, GigglyFuzzy? You can trust me. I know we've had our differences in the past, but I genuinely care about you. If there's anything bothering you, I want to help.
LuminousLakes
"I appreciate that, Em... really. But I'm fine. Just tired."

LuminousLakes
she turns and walks away
watches GigglyFuzzy walk away, a sense of unease settling in her chest I hope she's okay... takes a deep breath, trying to shake off the feeling
LuminousLakes
when she gets home, she goes to put the baby to sleep, but can't stop thinking about Emily
tosses and turns in her bed, unable to shake the nagging feeling in her chest Why can't I stop thinking about GigglyFuzzy? sits up abruptly I need to do something.
LuminousLakes
she calls her
quickly grabs her phone and dials GigglyFuzzy's number, her voice filled with concern Hello? GigglyFuzzy, it's Emily. I just wanted to check in and make sure you're okay.
