Dave made his way downstairs to find Emilia sitting on the couch in the living room tying her laces
'She's already up.'
She heard him coming downstairs and slowly raised her gaze to look at him.
"Hey, good morning." She said with a bright smile on her face.
"Good morning." The goalkeeper said but he didn't return the smile. "You're up already."
"Yeah, and I was wondering when you were going to co down." She said before getting up from the couch.
Dave kept his gaze on her as she slowly made her way to the door and pulled it open.
"Shall we?" She said before leaving the house through the door.
Nothing was said between the two for a while as they covered one kiloter but Emilia had things she wanted to say to him and she was going to start talking now.
"So, Emma's coming ho today right?" She said,
"Yeah." He said.
"By what ti are you going to pick her up?" She asked.
"Noon." He replied.
"Good, it will be nice to have a small chat with her off the hospital before going to the seminar."
"Small chat, I thought it starts by 1:00 PM and you are supposed to be there before the said ti."
"That was yesterday, it starts by 2:00 PM today." She said.
"Oh."
"Today's the last day, so I'll be returning ho tomorrow or possibly today depending on when we finish but if I were to take a guess, it's going to be pretty late to go ho by the ti everything's concluded." She said,
"Possibly today, can't you stay one more day?" Dave asked before coming to a sudden halt in front of the path leading into the forest.
"You want to stay one more day?" She said with a surprised expression on her face.
"Yeah, I'm sure Emma would want that too, she's been in the hospital all this while you've been here and I'm sure she would love to at least spend one full day with you before you go." He expressed.
"So, you're asking for her."
"Yeah, and I'm also asking for , it's really nice having you around the house." He said. "Any man who marries you will be really glad."
Her cheeks slowly turned red after hearing Dave say that, talking about sothing like this with him made her uncomfortable so she decided to change the topic.
"Are we going to take this route again today or do you have sowhere else in mind?" She asked.
"Of course, we're taking the route but we'll just climb up and down the hill three or four tis and we don't have to go into the market unless you want to get sothing."
"No, we'll stick to what you just said, it sounds good to ." She said

That was the ssage that popped up on his system screen as he made his way into the house, his breathing seed to be a little paced.
'It's good to get rewarded for hard work no matter how little it may be.' He said subconsciously as he walked toward the couch.
He sat down on the couch and let out a deep sigh before the door was pushed open for Emilia to enter the room breathing heavily with her face.
"You had to race back after all those climbing up and down the hill." She was still panting as she made her way to the couch and crashed down beside Dave.
"You were the one that said you could beat ." The goalkeeper said before turning his gaze to her with a smug look on his face.
"And you don't even seem to be out of breath." She said with a surprised expression on her face.
'Even I am surprised, all that work didn't even push my energy and stamina that much.'

"Well, I am an athlete." He said, moving a little closer to her.
He had gotten so close to her that the two were just gazing into each other's eyes and she may have frozen up in the process.
"Um." Was the first word that escaped from her mouth after snapping out of her daze and she had to quickly turn over to the other side. "I think I'll need a few minutes before I can do anything."
"Yeah, take your ti.

Picking Emma up from the hospital didn't take that long because she was already waiting for him in the reception area when he arrived and after exchanging a few words with the doctor who happened to be in the area by that ti, the couple made their way out of the hospital and were on their way ho now.
"So the night fever has stopped completely," Dave said with his gaze on the road.
"Yeah, but I still have to complete my dosage so that it doesn't co back." She replied.
"Yeah."
There was a little mont of silence between the two before Emma decided to ask him a question.
"Has Emilia left for the seminar?" She asked.
"No, not yet." He said, shaking his head.
"Why? Does she want to arrive late?"
"No, the seminar starts by 2:00 PM today so she still has a lot of ti left.
"Oh." She said,
"I know you guys have been having the ti of your lives." She said,
"Yeah, it's nice being with Emilia especially when we go for our morning runs together, apart from that we haven't really spent much ti together, she has a seminar to deal with and she goes to bed way too early."
"Yeah, she doesn't like staying up too late unless she is forced by soone like ," Emma said.
