D2 – Afternoon – Purchasing

[Matthew Cooper]

Matthew couldn’t help but feel a disliking towards the little event happening. When he noticed Emma looking at him, he gave a smile back, but was soon discomforted when Preston continued his speech with Emma.
He took a deep breath and walked up in front of Preston, giving him a sharp look and then turning to face Emma. He took his arm on Emma’s shoulder and guided her to the side of the counter where Marcus was standing, ready to be of service.

Matthew: Emma, you have all you need, right?

Preston: Excuse me, but I believe Miss Morrison was in a conversation.



Matthew looked at Preston with his eye’s slightly closed and began to speak slowly and confident.

Matthew: Listen, Emma and I have plans today. I’m showing Emma a certain location just outside town and would very much like to reach this place and be able to be home in time for supper. So you’ll have to excuse us Preston, but we don’t have time for unnecessary conversations.

Preston: Well! ........Good day.

He gathered his purchase and tipped his hat in the direction of Emma with a stiff, distant smile and then left quickly without looking back, while thinking he never understood the Sully-family and had no reason to take this further.

Tag Marcus/Emma

[Marcus O'Neill]

Behind the counter, Marcus sighed silently - at a moment, he thought there would be near a disturbance. Why it always happen when Mr. Bray is away?

He waited to see the next to come.

[Emma Morrison]

Emma looked at Matthew, her cheeks slightly coloured because of what had just happened.

"Matthew maybe we should get going" she said smoothing down her dress as she spoke. She did not want to bring up what had just happened, she felt too embarrassed.

'Had everyone noticed ?...or was it just me?' Emma thought as she double checked her products, she had noticed she was missing a button. Noticing it on the floor, she bend down picking it up. Wrapping them back up in her brown bag the woman placed them into her pocket of her overall and looked up.

Her eyes meeting Matthew she now offered him a warm smile. Placing her arm through his, she started to walk with him. "So please tell me again Matthew what this place you taking to me looks like.." she asked her voice distant as she her mind kept wandering back to the recently encounter with the gentleman Lodge.

[Matthew Cooper]

As Emma began to walk out the store, Matthew quickly tapped her back, making her stop.

Matthew: Emma, I think you forgot something…

He looked into her shiny eyes that had caught the sun in the doorway. Her face was confused, waiting to hear what he had to say.

Matthew: You forgot to pay for your things…Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.

Matthew went back towards the counter and faced Marcus. He pulled up a silver coin and gave it to Marcus who seemed relieved that he wasn’t going to interfere had Matthew not returned.

Matthew: I hope this should be enough…

Marcus nodded and Matthew returned to Emma’s side and they began to walk outside.
