What to Do
Rafe trudged inside the house, where Evelyn was setting the table for breakfast.
"What was that all about" she asked.
"Oh, uh… nothing really." He dodged into the living room and threw Danny's bag on the couch. "He was just kinda…..well uh" he walked in where Evelyn was "you know checkin' up on his best pilot." He said cockily recovering w/ a slight smile.
"Oh?"
"What do you mean, oh?" he asked.
"oh, Nothing…..its just… not like him, I guess you could say." She looked up from the table noticing Rafe's slightly red eyes, and studied his face for any sign of lying.
"Well he…..this looks good Ev."
"Yeah, uh..thanks." she said still staring at him.
------After Breakfast-------
Rafe stood up from the table.
"Thanks Ev, I think I'm gonna go get dressed, and maybe go work on the crop duster."
"Alright." She said starting to clear the dishes off the table.
Rafe ducked into the next room and quickly grabbed Danny's bag, and headed toward he and Evelyn's room. Once there he locked the door, sat down and breathed a sigh of relief. He pulled Danny's bag closer to him, and what was on the surface.
"Oh, Danny." He breathed as he ran his fingers across the material.
As he began to open the bag there was a turn of the door handle.
"Rafe did you wanna, why is the door locked." Asked Evelyn concerned
"Rafe! Open up this door, are you okay?!" she said feiriously knocking and turning the handle. Rafe got up and opened the door.
"Sorry I didn't know I had locked it."
"Well, just tell me why you-" she stopped seeing the bag on the bed. Her mouth fell open. "Whats that! Is that what Doolittle was here about?!" her voice rising.
"Now Ev I can explain!"
"I thought we agreed you weren't going on anymore missions!" she yelled.
"I know but-, what?" he asked confused.
"Well thats why Doolittle was here right?"
"Well uh…..yeah…but. I .won't . I won't go if you don't want me to."
"Rafe OF COURSE I don't want you to go! Your everything to me." She sighed and began to cry.
He went towards her.
"Its okay Ev. I won't go." He said, her head on his shoulder, stroking her hair. "Its okay." He looked down at her. "Look, you go finish up in the kitchen, later you and I will have a talk…..okay?"
"Bout time we had one of those, huh?" she replied with a light laugh.
He nodded and kissed her head. Then she walked out.
A sigh of relief came from Rafe's mouth.
"Thank God."
At that moment he decided he would go to the one place he knew he could be alone. Danny's house.
