He knows exactly how to leave her speechless. Sharp tongue, always nailing in the choose of words that she doesn’t really imagine. By the time they’ve been apart, another man would have simply left her aside and continue with his life.
But Emmet... is definitely not the type of person Mel is used to spend time with, either at work or back in university. Maybe that uncertainty of someone being so different is what makes her always go back to him. Sure, it’s Unova the only place she can find him, but the mere idea of traveling for hours seems like a huge change of schedules she hadn’t considered.
She doesn’t seem to mind to mess up her whole life in this moment, though.
❝I could... as much as my job allows me to, sir.❞ replies she with a softened voice, eyes still not too daring to look up and meet his. ❝So far this time-- w-well, you are the only reason I’ve come back, and if you want me to spend... whatever amount of time you need me to, I will.❞
A quick gaze at his face makes her lose the whole discourse she’s built in her mind, finding herself embarrassed for what it could look like a confession. Even in her brain she cannot find an explanation of what kind of power this man has, although the intrigue grows stronger inside and only makes her more willing to sacrifice bits of her life for him.
❝P-perhaps we could, you know. Try something out? There’s no hurry. If you-- If you say “no”, I can leave. If you say “not now”, I can wait... But if you accept, I may be in the obligation to grab your hand and take you away from here, just for a moment.❞
