" Hi - uh you may not remember me , but I had both you and your sister while you were in high school. I heard Melanie was in the hospital ... how is she doing? " for tyler @navyflcwn

I also have my Burzek daughter, but I don't really feel like there's a whole lot she could do with Ryan outside of the requirements for her homework and things like that. Maybe she should be a bit older now and return to be the cheerleading coach, but I feel like that might still limit things. Alexandra's dad used to be a green beret, but he's unfortunately gone now, and that doesn't really have a lot to do with Ryan's part of the military anyway. Some of my girls do have kiddos of their own, though. I guess I could age some of them up and say maybe they were in Ryan's class or something. I don't know. Give me a good faceclaim idea and I can create a whole new muse with a fitting backstory that might grow into something neither one of us ever thought possible. I mean, just look at what happened with Joria and might eventually happen with Ethanna. …not sold on that ship name just yet, but we shall see.

they'd found themselves spending more and more time together, getting to know each other outside of the professional environment, and it had truly been one of the things she'd enjoyed most about her life recently. emilia had found herself developing feelings for him throughout that process. how could she not? he was charming and sweet and intelligent. now, sitting in her living room with a glass of wine in hand, she didn't have to question whether he felt the same way. the conversation was finally coming up, or at least she hoped it was. "how do you think about me?" she asked, hoping he thought about her the same way she thought about him.

emilia rolled over onto her side, shifting underneath the covers to look over at ryan. she had fallen asleep nestled against his side, but at some point in the middle of the night she had rolled onto her stomach. it wasn't that she was uncomfortable, she was just the kind of person that moved around in her sleep. "it was," she smiled. "we should stay here and ignore our responsibilities for the day." she knew she had to get groceries and pick up her dry cleaning, but that sounded so mundane when the other option was lying here with him.

they sat in the teacher's lounge at a respectable, professional distance. they were good with that, staying professional despite their steadily increasing interest in each other. this had nothing to do with them, but one of the students whom she spoke to weekly. she couldn't go into too much detail with him without violating the student's right to privacy and trust. "just a heavy case, worried about a kid," emilia told him with a shrug. it was something that came with the territory. she knew how to handle it, she just had to get through to the end of the day. "i'm fine, really. i've got an appointment with my therapist at five o'clock."

emilia hates cheaters. cheating on tests, or cheating on a significant other, obviously handles the two situations differently, but she doesn't like either. finding out her dad cheated on her mom after they'd been married for such a long time completely rocked her world as a teenager. it was traumatic, it scarred her, and she wasn't even the one who got cheated on. she never wants to be in that situation, and she will go to bat for anyone who has been.

emilia had picked a shirt out randomly from his closet after he'd gone to answer the doorbell, interrupting their morning. she was still buttoning the last button when she heard ryan come back into the room. she turned, smiling brightly at the compliment. "well, it helps that you already have such nice shirts." she walked toward him, looping an arm around his. "who was at the door? amazon?" she couldn't help but be curious about who was at the door so early in the day.
