Ephram drove aimless through the streets of Everwood. He couldn't believe what his dad did. Why can't he leave her alone? Why can't he allow everything that happened to rest? He parked at the roadside and looked around. He was standing across Madison's and was still looking at it. Then he got up and walked up the driveway. He hesitated but then he knocked on the door. Madison opened the door.

Madison: Ephram! (She said confused and timid)

Ephram: Madison! (He began to realize what he did)

Marcy: Who's on the door? (She ran towards Madison) Hi Ephram! (She smiled)

Ephram: Hi sweetie! (He leaned towards smiling and shook her little hand) Can I come in?

Madison: I have to put Marcy to bed. (She tried to be short with him)

Ephram: Please, I think we have to talk.

Madison: If you want to address reproaches to me you should rather go. I can't stand it. I know I made the biggest mistake of my whole life. You don't have to remind me. (She said inviolate and avoided eye contact with him)

Ephram: That isn't why I'm here. (He tried to sound affectionate)

Madison looked into his blue eyes and hesitated but then she stepped away. Ephram walked in and looked around. It seemed like he has never left. Everything was in the same place how it was two years ago.

Madison: Marcy, please go in your room and brush your teeth. (She carried Marcy on her arm and put her down in front of the stairs)

Marcy: Ok but you promised you would read me a story later.

Madison: I promised, sweetie but now I have to talk with Ephram.

Madison pointed at Ephram and Marcy nodded.

Marcy: Good night, mommy. (She gave Madison a kiss on her forehead) Good night, Ephram. (She waved smiling and went upstairs)

Madison turned round and sat down at the table. Ephram walked over to her and sat down across from Madison who looked down.

Ephram: I'm so sorry for my dad. (He began to talk) He should work at his lack of tact.

Madison: Yeah, that's true. (She looked up and smirked)

Ephram: We have to talk about everything that happened. (He said sad)

Madison: I can't talk about it yet. (She tried to hold back her tears)

Then there was a knock on the door. Madison got up and opened the door.

Madison: Dr. Brown, what the hell…

Andy: Please, can I come in? (He interrupted her)

Madison: I can't believe it. I don't want to talk with you. Please go! (She said mad)

Andy: I know I made a plenty of stupid faults.

Madison: You call them stupid faults? One of your stupid faults destroyed my whole life. (She yelled at him)

Ephram got up and walked over to her.

Andy: Ephram, what the hell are you doing her?

Ephram: I'm here to excuse my dad. (He looked at him)

Madison: Ok, you two have to go now. Marcy is sleeping.

Andy: Madison, please…

Madison: No, Dr. Brown. I don't want to talk with you and don't dare to come here again. (She said angry)

Ephram: But we have to talk, Madison.

Madison: I know but not yet. (She looked into his eyes)

Ephram: Ok, see you. (He said understanding)

Madison: See you.

She closed the door and Andy and Ephram stood in front of her house in awkward silence.
