I hate she smell.

[She's thinking less of sheep and more of the scent in Gold's shop the day he was working in the back. Emma's type of roughing it involves living out of a car, not living in the middle of nowhere. What's harder, she couldn't say for sure. But doing what she did wasn't easy, even if there were days when it felt like an adventure.]

But it's not as bad as this.

[The box, the heart. His jacket - she will definitely be paying to have it cleaned for him. When the man they're waiting for finally decides to come over, she does all of the talking, not bothering to explain Chase's presence in an effort to keep him uninvolved. He'll be in her reports, there's no way around that, but he doesn't need random people asking him questions.

She unwraps the box and sets his jacket on the counter while she waits so that the heart can be removed without disturbing the box. They don't do it there, and she almost asks to watch, but she allows them to take it away so that they're stuck waiting again.]

Sometimes I hate people, too.
