Madison left for work a couple minutes later.
"So what are you in the mood for?"
Amy looked at him confused, "What do you mean?"
"Food…what kind of food do you want?"
Amy smiled, "Oh…sorry…uh-I dunno…normal breakfast food?"
Ephram stood up and grabbed his coat, "There's a café a couple blocks down…we could walk?"
Amy got up, "That sounds good"
They got to the café and sat down at a table in the corner.
"So…how do you like New York so far?"
Amy looked around, "Well…it's big…a lot different than Everwood"
"Really? I hadn't noticed." he said sarcastically.
She smiled, "So how have things been going with you and Madison?"
Ephram smiled, "Great…everything's been great"
"What are you two now anyway? Are you engaged?"
Ephram laughed at this, "No…no not engaged…if we were, I think you would have found out by now"
"I dunno…I mean it's not like we talk a lot…anything could have happened in the last couple of months"
Ephram took a sip of his coffee, "I guess you're right…it has been a while"
Amy smiled, "Well I'm glad we have the opportunity to catch up"
Ephram nodded.
"So…how's Julliard? What's it like?"
"Julliard…Julliard's good…it's tough, but in a good way"
Amy nodded in response, "So what do you usually do when you don't have classes? Just practice?"
Ephram shook his head, "Well…I teach piano on the weekends to some people in our building…it actually pays pretty well, but it all goes towards my share of the rent"
"Wow…that's really cool…how do you like it?"
Ephram shrugged, "I dunno…it's alright I guess, it can get frustrating at times"
"I can imagine"
After breakfast, Ephram took Amy to Central Park. They walked around the zoo for a little while, but it got pretty boring.
"So what now?" Amy asked as Ephram tried to get a cab.
"I dunno…what do you wanna see?"
She shrugged, "I dunno…"
"Well…you know, we've got…Time's Square, Statue of Liberty…uh, all the other New York stuff?"
"How bout Julliard?"
"Julliard? Why?"
"I dunno, cause I've never been there…and cause you go there, you could show me around"
Ephram finally got a cab and opened the door, "Sure…if that's really what you wanna do"
"it is"
They got in the cab and headed towards Julliard.
Madison was in her office with Mark going over contract terms. They were meeting with a new band that was supposedly the "next big thing"
Mark was leaning over Madison's shoulder, a little too close for comfort.
"You know, I'm pretty thirsty…I'm gonna go get some water" she said, quickly standing up.
Mark let her pass, "I could uh, get it for you if you want"
Madison shook her head, "No…it's ok…"
Just then her phone rang. She went back to her desk and picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Hey"
Madison smiled at the sound of Ephram's voice, "Hey you…what's up?"
"Uh…well Amy and I were wondering if you wanted to meet us for lunch"
"Wait…Amy's still with you? I thought you were gonna drop her off??"
"Yeah…I was, but then we went around the city and got hungry so…now we're going to lunch"
"Oh…"
"Is that a problem?"
Madison put her hand on her forehead, "No…no of course not…why would it be a problem?"
"Cause you're obviously-"
She cut him off, "I'm not"
Ephram laughed, "Fine…you're not."
Madison smiled, "Well…I have a meeting in a half hour…so I don't think I can make it"
"Oh…ok, well I guess that means Amy and I have some more time alone…"
"wait-what?!"
Ephram laughed, "Jeez, chill out, I was joking…"
Madison sighed, "Sorry…I know, it's just..." she looked down, "I guess your dreams are affecting me more than I thought"
Madison looked over at Mark, who had obviously been eaves dropping, he quickly looked away.
Ephram paused to think about this for a second, "Don't worry…nothing's gonna happen"
She smiled, "You sound like me"
Ephram saw Amy walking back towards him, "Ok well Amy's coming back…I better go"
"Ok"
"I'll call you later?"
"Sure"
"Love you"
Madison smiled, "Love you too"
Madison hung up the phone, "Sorry about that"
Mark shook his head, "No problem"
She sat back down in her chair, "Right…so where were we?"
Ephram hung up the phone just as Amy walked up to him.
"Well…Julliard's restrooms are definitely nicer than Boulder's"
"Good to know"
