Evan & Abigail

"I'm never going to see most of my friends again."
Abigail

I sighed a little. "I know. I'm so sorry. About all of this."

Evan

Abi - "It isn't your fault. I just have no idea what I'm doing. I don't know how to be a wife or...a mother. If it comes to that. I never had the best role models."

Evan - "I have no idea how to be a husband or father either. But so what. We can learn together."

Abi - "What if I'm not what you want, though?"

Evan - "And what if I'm not what you want?" I said softly. "You're beautiful Abi. You're sweet, and you're a good woman. What's not to like."

Abi - "Sweet? I wouldn't be so sure about that."

Evan - "Why is that?" I asked, subconsciously moving a strand of hair out of her face.

"I guess the way I was raised has a lot to do with it." My stomach jumped a little when he moved my hair, his fingers grazing my cheek a little.

"Well I think you are. If that counts for anything." 

Abi - "It does. Thanks." I said and smiled a little as I stood up. "Dinner should be done now."

Evan - I smiled and stood up. "Sit. Let me make you a plate."

Abi - "But I was making it for you."

Evan - "That doesn't mean I can't bring you a plate." I smiled. "I can't wait to taste it. It smells delicious."

Abi - "Thanks. It's seriously the only thing I can make homemade. But, I'll learn more. Promise."

Evan - "I'm sure anything you ever cook will be fine. You don't have to learn just for me."

Abi - "I know the housekeeper is here a lot but when she isn't I don't want you to live off of tv dinners."

Evan - "I can cook too. Not well, but I can," I said and laughed a little.

Abi - "In other words, we'll survive."

Evan - I laughed. "Yeah I think we'll manage."

He made me a plate of spaghetti and brought it over to me. "Thank you."

Evan - "Thank you for making dinner."

"You're welcome." I told him and started to eat.

I smiled and took a bite. "This is really good Abi."

Evan

"I'm glad you like it."

"I do. Next time, maybe I could cook with you? It might be fun."

Evan

"Sure, I'd like that." I wonder what Caleb would think about that? Me just hanging out and cooking dinner with my husband? He'd find it amusing, no doubt. 

"We'll have to do that then. I still need to take you shopping too, since we were interrupted before."

Evan

"It's alright, I think I got enough today."

I smiled. "It won't hurt to go again, in case you see anything you didn't get the first time. Maybe... we could see a movie too? If you'd like?"

Evan

"Do you think we can invite Lea and Josh too? I don't want her to stay in the house cooped up for too long."

"Of course. Anything you'd like."

Evan

I didn't say anything for a moment and mostly scooted the spaghetti around my plate. "I killed him, ya know."

I didn't say anything for a few minutes. "Killed who?"

Evan

"The man who hurt Lea and my brother."

I turned my head and looked at her, my eyes meeting hers. "Good."

Evan

"I guess that's why your friend was cautious in the woods."
