Ethan was the first person to walk into the stall. Amy was half sitting,
half lying down in a large pile of very comfy hay. As Ethan came in he sat-
laid down next to her.
The cameras were rolling.
"So, we didn't get a chance to talk to much during this date." Ethan began.
"I would have liked to talk to you more." She said. "The more I get to know you the more I like you."
"Y'know, I really feel a connection between us and, not to make it obvious that we're on a TV show and there's about five cameramen watching have this little talk, but I hope that at the next Candle Ceremony that you'll give me a little bit of your light." Ethan said, almost as though he had planned it. It was sweet, and this time, Amy actually meant what had told him. And she thought of this as he walked out of the door of the stall and she waited for the cameramen to tell her where to move to, so it seemed like she was in different places for different guys, instead of just one stall.
The next three men came into the stall each one saying pretty much the same thing, and them sometimes varying into other topics such as favorite baseball or basketball teams, but mostly just about each other and the men saying how much they wanted her light.
Finally it was the last man's turn, Tad's. Amy nervously waited in the stall. She didn't know what to do. She liked him, at least a little, but how could she do anything with Tad, to who her feelings for could not even be compared to by her feelings for Ephram.
As he walked in, she felt her stomach drop like it often did when she was nervous. She had no idea what to say to him. She didn't know if he thought it was as big a deal, and he probably wouldn't. She knew she shouldn't. It wasn't that big a deal and she was making it out to be. But the only person she really wanted to hold hands with now was Ephram.
"Hi Tad." Amy said, trying to sound confident, and achieving it, but not to herself.
"Hey." He said. It seemed as though he had already forgotten about "Hand Incident" as Amy had come to affectionately call it.
"Um..." Amy said nervously. She was horrible at bringing up subjects that were hard to talk about. She definitely hadn't changed for this whole dilemma with Tad. "Well, the thing is, earlier, right as the rodeo was starting, you tried to hold my hand." Amy blurted out, speaking faster then she ever had in her life. She had no idea how to tell someone something like this, even if it wasn't something huge, that was just who she was. "Well, um," Amy said, slowing down her pace. "I was just wondering what exactly that was."
"I'm sorry." Tad said. The fact was, that he knew it was coming. He had tried to forget it but he couldn't, he really liked Amy, and he had always been the fast moving type. He just hoped that now it wouldn't hurt any chance he ever had, or would have, with Amy. "I always move pretty fast. And if that's not the way that you are then I'm totally fine with that. See, the thing is that I really like you. I wouldn't have tried to hold your hand if I didn't. And I not going to give you some bullshit about how I want light from your candle. Because this is real and I'm not going to make this all just a show. This is a way to find someone that could really be my soulmate." Tad said. It was a great and persuasive speech, even if he hadn't meant it to be. "So what do you say we put that behind us and we can wait until you decide you want to hold hands with me?"
"That sounds good." Amy replied. She thought it was nice and sweet and she was totally convinced that he was a nice guy and that she should at least bring him into the next round. But she knew that she still had a whole other date to go through. At least Ephram would be on this one.

"So how was the date?" Ephram asked as soon as they were both safely in the hotel room. In response he got a playful eye roll. "That good, huh?"
"Well, you weren't there." Amy said, grabbing his hand and pulling him down to the bed, kissing him and taking off her jeans and tight white tee-shirt at the same time. As they leaned back onto the bed kissing, Ephram slowly pulled away. "Amy, there's something I have to tell you." Ephram said, sounding solemn and sincere, and anyone there would not doubt that he was about to tell Amy something horrible. "What is it?"Amy asked worried. She didn't want there to be anything to stop the fairytale romance that she was having with the man she had loved since she was fifteen.
"Well, there's been something I've wanted to tell you for, God, ten years now." Ephram said, with the same tone and look on his face, as Amy lay next to him, her eyes wide and seemingly hopeless as she waited for him to tell her.
"Amy," Ephram said, holding both her hands, "I love you." He finally said. And smiled. He had finally told her, the woman he had put above all others, the one he had waited his whole life for, and he knew was worth it.
As she leaned in to kiss him, he knew that she was the one.
"I've always loved you." Amy said. "Although it may not have seemed that way, I just couldn't let you know before. But now..." Amy said, trailing off as they began kissing again and Ephram began to peel off his boxers.
A/N: So there it was. It took me so long. I needed to get back to some Ephram/Amy scenes. I mean this is how obvious it is of how great their chemistry if its even easier to write about them. But there's much more Ephram/Amy action to come, probably making the chapters much closer together. Keep on enjoying!
