31 Day Writing Challenge: Day 20 - 'A Wish'

"What is your wish today, Mistress Emmy."
"Oh, em..." Emmy shrugged. "Nothing comes to mind."
"Really?" Rune looked skeptical. "There is nothing you want to wish for? Nothing your heart desires?"
Emmy paused, lost in thought for a moment, then it was gone and her look of indifference was back.
"OK. Emmy, just spit it out." Emmy looked confused. "Don't look at me like that, I saw that look on your face. There is something you want but won't wish for. What is it you want? And why wouldn't you wish for it? You have a genie who can grant your every wish."
"Not all of them." Emmy muttered under her breath.
 After weeks of knowing there was something going on with Emmy and her not talking about it, Rune was exasperated and done with it all.
"That's it, Emmy! I've had enough. Just wish for it. You need to make a wish for today so why not wish for what you clearly really want. Now, Emmy!"
"So much for 'Mistress Emmy' and polite attitude." Emmy said defensively. Rune just looked at her, unimpressed with an eyebrow raised. Emmy slumped, defeated.
"There is no point in me wishing for it, it's not something you can grant."
"What do you mean I cant grant it? I'm a powerful genie. Of course I can grant it."
"No. You cant." The words came out in short, angry bursts. Then her face fell and her voice softened. "You said so yourself, 'no making anyone fall in love with anyone else', so yeah, it would be pointless to even ask." Emmy said sadly.
"Oh, you want to make someone fall in love with you." Rune couldn't hide how crushed he was at hearing this. Luckily, Emmy wouldn't look at him so she didn't see the pain on his face.
Rune's mind was reeling from Emmy's admission, and Emmy was doing her best to face away from him, so he didn't see the look on her face. She knew he'd work it out, work out who it was she wanted. It was impossible, so why did her heart keep wishing for it? Why couldn't she just want to be with Isaac? Isaac liked her, Isaac was a nice guy, a mortal, non-magical, non-genie. Being with Rune wasn't possible. Rune was basically immortal; Rune was a genie, HER genie. Why couldn't she just stop wanting him? Emmy was gifted with a wish a day from her amazing genie, and, ironically, the one thing she really wanted to wish for, was the one thing that could never be granted to her.
