With the kids appearing to be ok with all that's happened to them, and the house clearly in need of repairs (or upgrades), Emily has decided it's time to get her life back on track. Time to pick herself back up, get back out in the world and start living her life again, before she knows it, her life could well be over. She's approaching her adult years at a pace too quick her for comfort, she doesn't want to spend the rest of what she's got left mulling around the house and just surviving.
Adrian caused her heartache after heartache while he was alive, and his insane father made her life miserable. She survived all of that, so she knows she's a strong woman. She can do this on her own!
The first step she decided, was to get a better job. The Supermarket was fine for a bit of spare change, but when you're working beside teenagers the same age as your own child, it can make you feel a bit pathetic. Don't get me wrong, everyone was lovely and supportive, but Emily needed to find a proper career for her own self esteem.
Looking through the local jobs available, what would be more fitting than starting in the "Business Career" right?. Sure it was just as a coffee runner, but she's done nothing more than be a housewife, mother and shift a few groceries around, she can't expect to start in an executive office. Emily was happy to work her way up and was eager to give it her all. With no berating husband around to ruin her confidence, she would do everything it took to make it a real career.
Speaking of berating and evil husbands, Emily has also decided it's time to find herself a man! With all the appliances in the house breaking at every turn, she wants a man's man around the house to fix them. Or at least die trying lol.
Since Tom Shallow has been the only one to show interest in her at all since Adrian's passing, she figured she'd start there and see where it could go. During conversation over for dinner one night, she discovered another reason to pursue him:
Emily's no gold digger, but she the added lure of a man with money was something she couldn't resist. That very same night Emily decided to make her feelings very clear. Unfortunately for her, Tom wasn't reciprocating to her advances and jumped all over the place with his reactions. He attacked her child raising skills, then complimented her. Insulted her, then tried to kiss her. The poor girl's head was just about spinning.
Emily decided she was going to find out where she stood once and for all. She spoke to him about her family, her desires for more children, her concerns over finances and... she was cut off. Tom interrupted the conversation to accuse of her being after his money. After all, he did only reveal that fact earlier in the night, and even the kids could see the obvious switch in Emily when she found that out, I can see how he might jump to that conclusion.
Unfortunately, for Tom, this sent Emily over the edge. She went ballistic at him, accusing him of being evil, insulting him, and at one point even tried to fight him. This went on for a few minutes before Emily declared Tom her nemesis and told him to leave!
And that was the end of that relationship... lol. I can't say I'm too upset, he stole candy from her child for goodness sakes. She knew he was evil, what was she thinking? Really...
