Ephram: So what are we gonna do now? (his words were kind of blurred)

Madison: What?

Ephram: (removed the ice pack from his face) What are we gonna do now?

Madison: Oh...I don't know...we could become hermits

Ephram: (started to smile but it hurt so he stopped) good plan (he put the ice pack back on his nose)

Madison: does it feel broken?

Ephram: I don't know...all I feel is pain

Madison smiled and ran her fingers through his hair. Then she got up and grabbed the phone.

Ephram: (again removing the ice pack) Who are you calling?

Madison: Ordering a pizza...we never got a chance to eat

Ephram: More pizza?

Madison: Who else delivers in Everwood?

Ephram: Chinese?

Madison: Oh yeah...where's the number?

Ephram: On the fridge

Madison: Ok...be right back

She went into the kitchen and ordered the food.

Madison: (walking back into the living room) half hour

Ephram: My stomach will probably eat itself by then

Madison: There's still some pizza in the fridge?

Ephram: No thanks, I can wait

Madison: Ok...c'mon (helping him up) let's see what's on TV

Ephram: Are you saying you don't wanna talk to me?

Madison: No, I'm saying you have to keep that ice on your larger-than-life nose and that means we can't talk, so we might as well watch TV

Ephram: Got it

He put the ice pack back up to his nose and walked to the family room behind her. She sat down on the couch and picked up the remote, he laid down next to her and rested his head on her lap, she ran her fingers through his hair as she flipped through the channels.

Madison: Oh hey, Powerpuff Girls is on...you wanna watch?

Ephram: funny (he said sarcastically, he didn't remove the ice pack but she understood him and laughed)

Madison's cell phone rang.

Madison: Hold on

Ephram lifted his head and let her reach into her back pocket.

Madison: Hello? (she held the phone up to her ear)

Andy: Madison? Hi, it's Andy

Madison: Oh, hi Dr. Brown (she said looking at Ephram)

Andy: I called the house a couple times but nobody picked up

Madison: We were out for a while...

Andy: Oh...that's good to hear

Madison knew what he meant and, feeling uncomfortable, quickly changed the subject.

Madison: So...do you wanna talk to Ephram?

Andy: Sure

Madison handed the phone to Ephram, who still had his head on her lap.

Ephram: (removed the ice pack) yeah?

Andy: Hey Ephram

Ephram: Hey

Andy: How's it been?

Ephram: Fine

Andy: Good

Ephram: Yup

Andy: Well, we just got here...it's really beautiful, you would like it...well then again maybe not

Ephram: Uh huh

Andy: Well, I was just calling to check in, I'll talk to you later

Ephram: Ok...bye

Andy: Bye

Ephram hung up.

Madison: When are you gonna tell him?

Ephram: Tell him what?

Madison: Well do you actually think he won't notice the huge deformity on your face?

Ephram: Oh...forgot about that...

Madison: Yeah, I would have told him while he's at least 7 hours away

Ephram: Damn

Madison: Well he'll call again

Ephram: Yeah...what am I gonna tell him?

Madison: How about the truth?

Ephram: No...he'll get mad at me...or you, for provoking

Madison: We can leave that part out

Ephram: true

He put the ice pack back on his nose. They sat there for a while, not really watching what was on, but just enjoying each other's company. About a half hour later the doorbell rang.

Madison: (lifting Ephram's head up) I'll get it

She stood up and walked into the living room. She looked out the peep hole and saw a cop, her heart skipped a couple beats as she slowly opened the door. She was so shocked, what was a cop doing here? Why would he be here? Did he know?

Officer: Hello Ma'am, is this the Brown residence?

Madison: Yes...um, can I help you?

Officer: Yes, I'm looking for an...(he looked down at a piece of paper he was holding) Eff-Effraaam Brown?

Madison: Um, ok...hold on, I'll get him

The officer nodded and stood still as she closed the door and quickly walked back into the family room.

Madison: Ephram! There's a cop here!
