The next morning Ephram woke up and headed for the livingroom, not wanting breakfast this particular summer morning, still thinking about what Amy had said the night before. He wondered if she really had meant what she had said. Making up his mind on what he had to do, he smiled nervously to himself, and retreated once more to his room upstairs to get dressed. Withing fifteen minutes he was out the door, heading to Amy's house. Halfway there he was suprised to see Amy walking towards him.

"Amy!"

She walked quickly towards him, looking both happy and nervous at seeing him.

"Ephram!"

"I was just going to see you."

They both said that at the same time and laughed nervously. Amy noticed she and Ephram were right next to Mama Jo's diner, where Nina, Ephram's next door neighbor worked. She gestured to Ephram and he nodded and together they went to find a seat in the Everwood-famous diner.

"Amy, I was coming to see you because of what you said last night at your house... I wanted to tell you that-"

Before Ephram could finish his sentance he stopped, because he was nervous about the words he was about to say, nervous that he could possibly screw everything up with the girl he had wanted for so long. As he was about to say it, Amy interrupted him.

"I meant what I said last night, Ephram. I didn't want to say it so bluntly, but... "

"I love you."

They both said it at the same time, and both broke into huge nervous grins. Ephram reached across the table and took Amy's hand in his. He wanted to kiss her, but they were in a diner where old ladies seemed to take interest in teenagers' lives, and they were aware that there was already a couple of older ladies staring at them over their menus. They both laughed and headed out of the diner. As they walked down the street towards Amy's house, Ephram asked Amy what happened with Brite the previous night after he left. She laughed and said that she had straightened him out and he wouldn't be such an ass anymore.

"What did you say to make him chill out?"

"Uh....well, I just told him that Colin was a jerk to me, and that you were always there for me no matter what, and that I loved you and there was nothing he could do to change that. He sorta sighed and wheezed at the same time and said 'oh fine...whatever, but if he hurts you he dies.' And that's about it."

Ephram looked at her. He was shocked at what she had said about him always being there for her.

"Don't worry about that. I could never hurt you."

She turned her head towards him, and smiled. Then she took his arm and put it around her shoulder and together they walked on to her house, in love.
