Eric and Emily both nodded. Emily sighed. Eric spoke. 
-"If you say so."
Emily and Eric both blinked when the music started. They both listened as their friend excused herself when she was being asked to dance. 

-"We understand. It is alright."
Emily nodded in agreement. 


"Go on and have fun."
Emily managed a faint smile. They both watched her leave. Then, they both sighed again. They glanced at each other and frowned. 


"I wish we could tell her, Eric."

-"We can't, not now. Don't you see that? We can not drag her into this mess. It is not her fault. Not to mention, She should not have to shoulder such a burden. We have to leave her and her brother out of this, for their own good, their own protection."



Emily sighed and nodded. 
"Very well."
She teared up again. She went to have a seat. Eric followed to make sure that she was alright.
