As Ephram walked home after his meeting with Sara and Dan, he wondered if he was getting in over his head. Was this girl too much? Was she too messed-up? How much was too much?
Ephram was so into his thoughts, he nearly got run over. He was walking across the street, looking down, when he heard a screech. The screech came from someone's tires. He looked up, jolted from his deep state of uncertainty, when who was behind the wheel other than Amy. He stood there, stunned, mouth agape, when she got out of her car in the middle of the road and walked right up to Ephram.
"Hey." She said.
"Uh... hey," Ephram responded, "You enjoy breaking my bones almost as much as breaking my heart?" he asked, astonished by his own bluntness.
"Well, uh... I... you know what I had better go, Mom needs me to drive her to the doctor for her chemo today, you know how it is."
"Uh, yeah?"
"Well, uh.. I'll see you?"
"Yeah... uh, Amy?"
"What, Ephram?"
"Are you hungry?"
"Not really, why?"
"I was just wondering if you wanted to go out for, like, dinner or something after you take you Mom to her appointment."
"I really shouldn't. I promised I would help Hannah get ready for her date with Bright. They're getting pretty serious, you know."
"Ok." was all Ephram said as he walked quickly to his front door, leaving Amy in the middle of the street, stunned.
