Amy: "Hey."
Ephram didn't respond, so Amy lightly slapped Ephram on his shoulder. Ephram jolted up from his sleeping bag and looked in the direction of where the slap came from.
Amy: "Sorry, didn't mean to startle you."
Ephram: "Oh, it's ok."
Amy: "So. How'd you sleep?"
Ephram: "Good, except... um....."
Amy: "What?"
Ephram: "Oh, it's just I had a dream."
(Amy starts to look interested.)
Amy: "Yeah? What was it about?"
Ephram: "It was about...um.... you know I don't want to get into details right now."
Amy: "Ok."
Ephram sat up in his spot and glanced over at Amy.
Ephram: "You seem cherreier than last night."
(Amy glances at Ephram for a quick second and smiles.)
Amy: "I'm ok. Ephram, you don't have to worry about me. I'm doing fine."
Ephram: "Did I miss something? I mean yesterday you were-"
Amy: "Different."
Ephram: "Yeah, I guess you can call it that."
Amy: "You didn't miss anything. It's nothing."
(Ephram nods.)
Ephram: "I saw you smiling."
(Amy laughs.)
Amy: "When?"
Ephram: "In your sleep. After I woke up from my dream, I went to go check on you, to make sure you were ok. You were, you were smiling."
Amy: "Oh."
Ephram: "May I ask, why?"
Amy: "Since you're so polite. I'll tell you."
Ephram: "Ok."
Amy: "Colin. I guess you can say he visited me."
Ephram: "As a ghost?"
Amy: "No, not really. More like as a guide to reality."
Ephram: "I have no idea what that's supposed to mean, but go ahead. Continue."
Amy: "He said some things. Things that I've heard from everyone before. But it sounded different coming from him. Just different."
Ephram: "What kind of things did he say?"
Amy: "Telling me to move on, which I'm sure that you've told me tons of times before. Everyone did and I was tired of hearing it. Not from Colin though, I felt like he was saying something that everyone else wasn't."
(Ephram glances at Amy and then smiles.)
Ephram: "I think I should get going."
Amy: "Wait."
Ephram: "Yeah?"
Amy: "How 'bout breakfast at the Mile High Diner first?"
phram: "I don't know...I..."
Amy: "Please?"
(Ephram thinks it over.)
Ephram: "Fine, since you asked so nicely."
