[ it would be a lie if emma tried to say she hadn't wondered similarly, why it had been faraday and none of the others (thank god it wasn't bogue), and sometimes...she wonders why it hadn't been matthew. of all the people that could be haunting the town, haunting her in particular, why not her husband?
it's not the sort of thought she'd ever voice aloud, certainly not to faraday, but it makes a person wonder why one ghost and not another?
the corner of emma's lips lift slightly at the question and the memories it calls up. ]
Yes. It's been a good long while since I have, but he did teach me.
[ cards had been an excellent way to pass time, a shockingly enjoyable activity (partially because emma was a touch competitive, and the games had been a good outlet for it). ]
He was never one to tell me I oughtn't learn something just because it's not a woman's place.
[ she couldn't have loved a man who would seek to silence her, tell her what she should and shouldn't do just because she was his wife. she'd appreciated that about matthew, rare trait that it was. ]
