CHAPTER 12


Every day I was with Philip, I could feel my sadness going away. I loved him and love this community. I was completely happy.

Even though I still missed Amy and Shane.

"Woodbury is starting to grow on you. Isn't it?" Philip asked one morning as I was getting dressed.

I been here almost two months now and I was at his apartment most nights.

"Yes. I guess it is," I said leaning up to kiss him.

"I am glad," he says softly when he pulls away.

"I should hurry. I promised to help Rowan make cookies for the school children," I smiled.

"Andrea, making cookies. I never thought I see the day," he smirks.

"Well, Rowan is going to do most of the baking. I am going to keep her company," I whispered.

"Will you have time to go see Dr. Stevens? She has your birth control ready. Just wants to give you a quick check up first," Philip asks, pulling on his brown pants.

"Oh I forgetton about that. But yes I will make time for that. I can't stand those damn condoms," I murmur.

"I feel the same way. Show up a little before three. She'll be expecting you," he grins.

"I can do that," I said pulling on my boots.

"Have fun with Rowan. I will see you tonight?" he asks buttoming up his shirt.

"Yes, love," I said flashing him another smile.

After another goodbye I walk out the door to go meet Rowan.
