Summary: When Colin died Amy was sent away for the summer. Now she's back in Everwood as a new school year comes. Can she learn how to cope with the help of her only true best friend, Ephram?

Chapter 1. The Homecoming

It was early Saturday morning when he heard a knock on his front door. Ephram Brown put down the box of pancake mix and opened it. He could barely believe his eyes when he saw who was standing there. Amy Abbot, back from the land of the dead.

"Amy!" he finally managed to get out. "You look great! How are you?"

He was trying to stay positive, that's what his dad had coached him on. Support meant being positive. Being positive without avoidance.

"I'm ok I guess, all things considering. I just got back from...from camp," She said not wanting to say the word "grief". A few days after Colin Hart had died, Andy Brown had called in a few favors at Rose Abbot's request; as a result Amy and Bright where sent to a Grief Camp to help them overcome the loss of their boyfriend and best friend, respectively. The camp had done wonders for helping Bright recover. Amy on the other hand knew that what she really needed to recover was back in Everwood. That "thing" was Ephram. He was the only one who was going to help her by giving her everything straight up, after all he was her best friend.

"Do you want to come in? I'm just getting ready to make some pancakes for breakfast," Ephram said suddenly remembering his manners.

"Um actually yeah, that sounds good.I haven't had good pancakes in a while," Amy smiled her first real smile in three months.

"I said pancakes. I didn't say they were going to be good."

"Believe me, compared to the crap they served at camp, even your dad's cooking would be considered gourmet."
