Chapter7-Dinner
Amy stepped into the silky dress and stood in awe in front of a mirror as Kerry zipped up the back.
"Amy, this is gorgeous. Ephram will love it." Amy wasn't sure why but her face turned crimson.
"Amy, quit blushing. Okay, listen. I need to tell you about these past years." Amy felt her heart stop.
"You didn't date Ephram, did you?"
"No! That's not it. I just wanted you to know how much Ephram has missed you. I'm not kidding. I'm telling you this because Mallory has had her eye on him for a long time. She'll try to tell you that he's dated other women or made passes on her, but don't believe it." Amy was touched that Kerry was telling her this.
"Thanks Kerry." Amy started to get her bag but then there was a knock on the door. Kerry went over and opened it. Ephram was standing there, with a bouquet of flowers. He smiled at Amy and she felt herself smiling back. Their eyes met in a longing look. Kerry cleared her throat.
"I'm going to go wait outside." Ephram nodded, never taking his eyes off Amy.
"Amy, you look beautiful."
"So do you. Lo.. Look handsome I mean." Ephram laughed.
"Ready?"
"Yeah." Amy grabbed a jacket and then she, Ephram, and Kerry walked down to the street. Even as Kerry chatted away, Amy's eyes were on Ephram. Suddenly Amy realized that Kerry was talking to her.
"Amy! Earth to Amy!"
"Yeah?"
"We're here." Amy stopped and looked up.
"Looks nice."
"Uh huh, my boyfriend picked it. He's got good taste." Amy nodded in agreement.
"Kerry! Hey, Kerry over here." Kerry turned and waved to a cute young man standing by a waiter.
"Amy I'd like you to meet my boyfriend Erik. Erik this is Ephram's girlfriend, Amy."
"Nice to meet you Amy."
"The pleasure's mine."
"Come, sit down." The three followed Erik to a booth. Amy slid in and then Ephram sat down beside her. Kerry began a conversation with Erik, so Amy turned to Ephram.
"I really haven't been able to talk to you much. Seriously, how have you been?"
"Good, really good."
"I'm glad."
"How's your family?"
"Um, fine. My dad still doesn't like your dad, my mom is always trying to throw herself into big projects with the town that my dad hates, Bright, well Bright is Bright." Ephram laughed.
"Hello, I'm Dave and I'll be you waiter tonight. Can I start you off with some drinks or are you ready to order?" Kerry, Erik, and Ephram all knew what they wanted, but Amy hadn't even looked at the menu. She stared up at the waiter and then Ephram spoke up.
"She'll have what I'm having." The waiter nodded and then hurried off. Amy turned to Ephram, confused.
"What are you having?"
"Something you'll love, just trust me." Suddenly Amy blocked everything else out. Trust me. Did she trust Ephram? Across the table, Kerry sensed a tense moment and she and Erik stood up.
"We're going to go dance," Kerry said. Ephram nodded, never taking his eyes off Amy. Did she trust him? He thought she did, but he wouldn't really blame her if she didn't.
"Ephram, can I ask you something?" Ephram was surprised for a moment.
"Sure. What?"
"Why'd you do it? Why the letter? Why couldn't you come tell me goodbye?" Tears filled Amy's eyes and she hurriedly brushed them away. Ephram reached out and lifted her chin until their eyes met. She tried to pull away, but he wouldn't let her.
"Do you think I could have? Do you really think I could have called or came over and said, 'Amy I'm leaving. See ya whenever.' Tell me now, do you think I could have done that? Well I couldn't have. I wouldn't have been able to leave and I knew it. God, Amy I love you so much. I knew it wasn't, wasn't the right time for a relationship. And then the job came up."
"Ephram, all these years I've thought that you didn't like me. I thought that I didn't really matter to you and that was just your way of getting rid of me, short of killing me." Amy's voice was bitter.
"Amy, I love you. Are you listening to me? I love you. When there's love, nothing is more powerful. Are you more concerned about why and how I left? Because if you are, there's no love."
"Ephram, there's love."
"How do I know?"
"You have to trust me." Ephram leaned forward and whispered, "Amy, I trust you." Then he kissed her, the gentlest of kisses. Amy wrapped her arms around him and returned the kiss. Suddenly all of her anger melted away.
After paying the bill, everyone stood up and walked outside. Kerry and Erik kissed and then Erik hailed a taxi. Kerry turned to Amy before she got in.
"Amy, I'm going to go over to Erik's for awhile. I'll call you when I leave and then maybe we can hang out tomorrow." Amy nodded.
"Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow Ephram," Amy said, hesitantly. Ephram nodded.
"Wait! Amy, come with me."
"Where?"
"Just, just come with me."
"Okay, I'll come." Ephram was a little shocked but then he realized, she trusts me.

Author's Note: I have loved writing this story! I have it all planned out, Chapter Titles and everything. Just eight chapters to go! I hope everyone reading this has liked it. I'm thinking about doing a sequel, what does everyone think?
I am having major surgery the 18th and so I will be out of action for awhile. I will try to update soon but please bear with me.
I am going to start another Everwood fan fiction piece but please give me some feedback. Did you like the future story thing? Sometimes those are weird. Did I do okay with it? Thanks again for your reviews.
