Evelyn watched silently from behind an old wall as Rafe left. Lord what am
I gonna do now? She thought. Evelyn missed Rafe so much. She wanted to be
with him so bad. Why did I not just move to Tennessee with him? Evelyn
walked down to the beach. It was so peaceful she wanted to stay there
forever. Finally, she decided it was getting late so she walked back to her
home where Sandra was waiting for her.
"Hey Ev! Where have you been?"
"OH, I went on a walk, must have lost track of time."
"Well, there is still some cucumber sandwiches on the table if you want some."
"Alright thanks Sandra."
"Are you alright? You look upset."
"Yea I'm fine." Evelyn looked away from Sandra, because she always knew when Evelyn was lying. But it Sandra knew she wasn't alright.
"You miss him." Evelyn looked back at Sandra.
"Yes! I'm so stupid Sandy! Why didn't I just go back to Tennessee with him? He asked me and I told him that I live here. What kind of an answer is that?"
"Evelyn, don't be too hard on yourself! The man asked you to go live with him in Tennessee. You didn't know what to say! I would have been more surprised if you said yes."
"I know, but what do I do? Should I go after him? Or should I just let him go?"
"Evelyn, now that is a stupid question. Do you love him?"
"Yes, I guess I should go after him. Thanks for that Sandy; you always know how to help and what to say." Evelyn smiled at Sandra.
"What kind of a friend would I be if I didn't?"
Evelyn had no idea how to find Rafe. It would take a lot of time to find out what part of Tennessee he lived in. She knew Red was one of Rafe's best friend's so she thought he might have an idea. Evelyn decided it would probably be best if she waited until after she had the baby, Things would be easier then. Evelyn was planning everything out in her head. After she thought of whom to ask, she was quiet satisfied and went to bed.
