Emma liked having Murdock stay with her; there was always someone talking in the house...no more nights of silence and solitude. But that being said, Emma found she had to lock more of her more...questionable items behind magically sealed doors- specifically, anything magic related. Things like that could never get into anyone else's hands.
But she would take Billy out for 'walks' and certainly had taken on the responsibility of getting groceries- for one - if you had put specific items onto the grocery list- Murdock never got them...and Emma- needing some sort of control- couldn't handle that.
Some days, Emma might have missed the quiet...but she'd never admit it.
sorry its crap- too early lol
