Brown's where the last to arrive at Mama Joe's and when they walked into the restaurant, the two other families looked over at them.
"Hello everyone," Andy said to the two families, "These are my in-laws, Jacob and Nonny Hoffman, and I believe you know everyone else." Andy introduced.
"Hello Jacob, Nonny," Harold said first and the shook hands with them. Everyone else did the same; "Well have a seat now" Harold told them. Ephram ended up sitting beside Bright and across from Amy.
"Hi Bright, Colin and Amy" Ephram said to the teenagers
"Hi Ephram" Amy said with a real smile on her face for once. Colin and Bright also said hi, before going back to the conversation but Amy, and Ephram did not really talk. Through half of the meal Mrs. Hart stepped up and asked the Hoffman's a question
"Jacob, Nonny what brings you to Everwood?" Mrs. Hart asked. Before Ephram could say something Jacob spoke up first.
"We are here to visit our Grandchildren and son in-law," Jacob said, "but where also here to take Ephram back to New York with us"
Ephram heard Amy choke on her water but he did not look up from his meal.
"Grover, are you all right?" Colin asked
"I'm fine" Amy coughed out. She could not believe Ephram was leaving her.
"Ephram how long will you be gone for?" Mrs. Hart asked hopefully would be leaving for a while.
"Um I don't really know yet?" Ephram lied; fully knowing when he was coming home, but did not think they need to know of his return. Amy felt like she was going to be sick and she excused her self from the table. Ephram finally looked up to see Amy walking towards the bathrooms.
"Excuse me but I have to go the washroom," Ephram said to the group before getting up and walking to the back, "Piss Amy" Ephram said thorough the bathroom door.
"Go away, I don't want to talk you" Amy said with tears in her eyes.
"Amy I'm sorry, I wanted to tell you before everyone but my Grandpa just let it slip," Ephram said, "Look Amy I' coming in" Ephram told her as he opened the door and walked into the girls bathroom.
"I said go away" Amy said to him with her back towards him.
"Amy, I am really sorry, that you had to find out like this but, I just found out this morning my self," Ephram told her, as he turned her around and whipped the tears away.
"Why?" Amy asked
"I just can't be here right now, with everything that is going on right now, I'm sorry," Ephram told her the truth, "I wish we could tell Colin the truth but we can't, not yet"
"I know, and it not fair, I miss you so much Ephram, and you're here in Everwood but now you're going to be in New York," Amy told him, "When will you be back?" Amy asked
"I will be back at the end of the summer; I will be back for next school year" Ephram told her, before he gave her passionate kiss. There was knock on the door, and Amy and Ephram pulled away.
"Amy are you okay, you have been in there a long time?" Colin asked.
"Yeah I'm fine and I will be out in a sec," Amy said giving Ephram one last kiss before exiting the bathroom, making sure Colin could not see Ephram. Ephram waited five minutes before making his way back to the table.
"Sorry, I needed some air, after going to the bathroom," Ephram lied. Everyone at the table except, Delia and Colin new where he really was but no one said anything. The rest of the evening went with out a hitch and soon it was only the Abbott's and Browns left.
"Well that went well," Rose said. The two families talked for a little while longer before, it got dark out and they decided they should get home.
"Ephram and I are going to take a walk" Amy told the adults. Usually her parents would protest her being out so late but they knew needed to spend sometime together before Ephram left. The two families pilled out of the restaurant and into their care except Ephram and Amy as they walked to their spot.
