Allison said, “Let’s eat. After we eat, I can head home on my own. You go do your thing, and don’t worry about me.”

A series of knocks echoed through the room.

Emma made her way to the door, expecting to see Paige, who’d mentioned she might swing by for a bite.

Emma stayed silent for a moment, knowing he had a point. She turned to look at Allison. “Allison, Miguel’s here to see you.”

“Emma, you go ahead. I’ll drop by Mr. Sears’ office,” Allison said, following Miguel out the door.
