Emily's PovThe City, Joe's HouseI looked at Joe, who was fast asleep. What was happening?. He seemed so different. One minute, he acted like he didn't care. And the next minute he was leaning into me and kissing me. He was giving me heart attacks. And I secretly loved it. He was making me yearn after him to the extent I wanted to chase after him. Be by his side. Love him. 'I was an idiot', I thought. All it took was for Joe to die and come back into my life again for me to realise his worth. Or I came into his life.
