The Secrets of Emily Blair Page #3

---

Yes, it has.

Father, this is Emily,

my fiancee.

Father Avital has been my priest

since, well, since I was born.

That makes me feel old.

Oh, please,

you don't look a day older

than the first day you

arrived at St. Mark's.

I wish.

It's a pleasure

to meet you, Emily.

William's mom and dad

speak very highly of you.

Oh, yeah.

They tell me you're in medicine.

She's a nurse at County.

Ah!

What an honorable profession.

Do you like it?

Em?

Um...

Father, I am sorry. She's

not been feeling very well.

In certain cases, it's the exact

thing that needs to be done.

Mmm. You could

be right.

Hey.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Yeah, sure.

Emily, what's going on?

Mmm.

What the hell?

I've seen you looking at me.

Emily, Jesus, this is

your engagement party.

What are you thinking?

If you don't want me,

then just tell 'me to stop.

Well, excuse me.

Oh, Jesus.

Emily, what are you doing?

All right, everyone, it's time

for the maid of honor to talk.

And get comfy,

'cause I tend to get a little

chatty after champagne.

Okay, so, I've known Emily since

freshman year of college.

That's when she was going

through what I like to call

her "mom jeans" phase.

But with my guidance she

rebounded from fashion disaster.

Sweetie, dial it back.

When she met Will,

I knew it was special.

She never talked about boys,

so when she brought him up,

I just knew that...

Okay, Em, kind of

doing something up here.

Emily.

Oh, my God.

- Are you cut?

- Are you okay?

It's bleeding.

You're okay.

Oh, my God.

- Let's get you some water.

- Okay.

You're lucky

you didn't cut yourself.

Are you on something?

No! Of course not.

I just...

I don't know. I guess I just

had too much champagne.

No, I've seen you drunk. I've

never seen you act like that.

That was just plain rude.

I'm sorry.

You were acting

like a crazy person.

Do you want me to call

the whole thing off?

Hmm?

Do you want out?

No.

Well, you don't have to put on a

show, you just have to tell me.

You are my person.

I know I can act

crazy sometimes.

This isn't the norm

Em crazy, this is...

A little elevated?

Yeah, a little.

Hey, I'm not supposed to be there

for 20 more minutes, right?

I know.

Consider this

your reminder call.

I'm sorry, honey, I'm just not thrilled

about Catholic marriage class.

I know, but

it's important to my folks.

Father Avital means a lot to us

and if we want him to do the

wedding, we gotta do the classes.

Okay, I'm walking

out the door right now.

Attagirl.

Love you.

Sh*t.

Come on.

William.

Father.

Emily, it's nice

to see you again.

Uh... Again?

Uh. Father Avital was at our engagement

party, sweetie. I introduced you.
