Snippet #803407

Harry was about to open his car door when he heard a familiar someone calling his name. Looking up, he saw that it was Emily running up to him, sweaty and tired. Must have been jogging? Harry was both relieved but at the same time a little more anxious. He hadn't expected to run into her outside the home her uncle explicitly told her to stay in. But Harry wasn't going to bring up the detective now.

"I thought the detective said to stay indoors?" At least...he hoped he wouldn't. Harry was about to knock himself in the head again, but regained control of himself. "I-I mean, well...I came here to ask--" As he spoke, Emily wiped off some sweat from her brow. Harry couldn't help but see her stomach and blushed a bit. "Er, well I'm off shift right now...and well you don't seem to be too busy so...that is to say..." Damn it Harry! Spit it out!! he scolded himself. "I just happened to be around so I thought I'd invite you for that cup of coffee we promised..."

Looking at the tired Emily though, coffee probably wasn't the best thing for her right now. Her heart was probably racing enough. "Or...maybe a tall glass of water for you...?"
