Evelyn leaned against the kitchen table, she ran her fingers over the edge of the teacup, staring down at the floating leaves. She sighed and looked up, watching Ani at the stove.
She shook her head. 'There's no way he'll forgive me. I can't believe I said that to him."
Gina turned around. "Well it's da truth. He pined away for you for years and then you to finally get together and he runs off. He didn't even say good bye Evelyn."
"I know but I mean, that night changed my life forever, nothing's been the same since. It's the only reason I married Oscar." She confessed.
"Sor." She whispered putting her hand on her friends shoulder. "I still wish you hadn't done dat."
Evelyn sighed nodding. 'I do too, but I've got the kids so theirs no way and I don't want to be a single mother, and I don't wanna be divorced."
"no you would rather be someone's punching bag." She regretted saying it as soon as she finished. "I'm sorry." She said.
"No, no you're right. But can we at least talk about something else?" Evelyn asked.
Gina smiled. "Shoah. I got a letter the other day." She said walking over, sitting beside her.
"Really? who from?"
"Blaze and Bumlets." Gina chuckled. "They're living in Middletown with their kids. The own a store over there, they even have a dog."
Evelyn smiled. "That's nice. I knew they would be together forever. I always admired that she was able to land one of the good ones."
Her friend nodded. "And yours ran off." She said turning around.
She sent a glare at her but didn't say anything about it. She put her hands over her face groaning. "What am I gonna do.' She said rubbing her temples.

Oscar was up waiting for his wife to come back, leaning back on the couch, his feet propped up on the coffee table. He closed his eyes, resting his head on the back of the couch. The turning of the door woke him up.
He glanced over before climbing to his feet. "It's about time." he said.
"I'm sorry." Evelyn started her voice a little shaky. "We were working on clothes for the children.' She explained.
He smirked and took her hand. "I ain't mad. I just wanted to be near you.' He said.
She cocked her head a bit looking at him. He was behaving strangely. He must've wanted something. She had a sneaking feeling she knew what it was. "Bedroom?" She asked him.
Oscar chuckled. "you seemed to think I have a one-track mind." He said. "No actually I was thinking of starting on the couch making our way to the bedroom."
Evelyn scoffed. "What about the children? What if they walk in on us, won't they be scared for life?"
"Well I thought of dat, dat's why I thought just heavy petting and necking for a little bit. Like we used when we're younger." He smirked.
She rolled her eyes, laughing. "Fine." She said taking his hand, sitting down on the couch with him.
Oscar touched her side gently leaning over her. He gently put his lips to her neck, moving them across it slowly. She closed her eyes, touching his stomach gently. He moved his kisses up to her mouth, giving her a quick kiss before pulling away.
"Why did you stop?" She asked.
"Something's been bothering me lately.' He said. "So I'm gonna come right out and ask it."
Evelyn gulped. " Okay...go ahead."
He scratched his head. "You know it's something that's been puzzling me for quite a while. How did Christopher end up with blue eyes when both you and me have dark? I mean da uddahs have dark as well."
She stared at him for a moment. Why was he asking this all of a sudden? What was she going to say? She started to say something and then stopped. "Well...I don't know either. It is strange but I have light-eyed people in me family maybe it skipped a generation or two."
Oscar nodded and shrugged. Satisfied with this answer, for now, he went back to kissing his wife's neck. She leaned back and let him kiss her wherever he wanted.
She shook her head. 'There's no way he'll forgive me. I can't believe I said that to him."
Gina turned around. "Well it's da truth. He pined away for you for years and then you to finally get together and he runs off. He didn't even say good bye Evelyn."
