Next morning Ephram came from a breakfast with Bright and Hannah at Sam's. He drove around town and parked across the entrance of a garage. He heard the music of the band and Jay's red car in front of his own. He hesitated but then he entered the garage. Jay smiled at him while he was seeing him. They finished their song and packed in their instruments. Mindy stood in front of the stage and carried Marcy on her arms. Madison didn't notice Ephram. She walked over to Jay.
Madison: Good job, Jay.
Jay: Thanks but I think you should go to your date. (He pointed at Ephram)
Madison: Date? (She turned round and noticed Ephram) Ephram! (She walked over to him)
Ephram: Hi, do you have time to talk? (He smiled at her)
Madison: I guess so.
Ephram: We can watch a movie tonight.
Madison: I don't know if that's such a good idea.
Ephram: And we can talk in the meantime.
Madison: I think it wouldn't work.
Ephram: Why not? We should try it out. (He smiled at her)
Madison: I have a few things to do.
Ephram: That's ok! I'll come to yours in two hours.
Madison knew she had to bring a good argument but there wasn't one so she nodded.
Ephram: Ok, I bother about the movie an about the food. Is Chinese ok? (He smiled)
Madison nodded overwhelmed.
Jay: Everything ok? (He walked by and wrapped his arms around Madison's waist)
Madison: Yeah, why not? (She evaded Jay's arms)
Jay: Keep going!
Marcy: Uncle Jay! (She jumped in his arms)
Jay: Hey sweetie! (He kissed her cheek)
Ephram: Ok, I'll see you in two hours. (He looked at Madison and left)
Two hours later Ephram knocked on Madison's door. Marcy opened the door.
Marcy: Hi Ephram! (She took him by her hand and pulled him inside)
Madison: Marcy, you said you aren't allowed to open the door. What if Ephram were a burglar? (She carried her on her arms)
Marcy: I'm sorry. (She looked down)
Madison: That's ok but don't you ever do that again, ok? (She smiled at her and stroked her cheek)
Marcy: Ok, I love you, Mommy! (She gave Madison a kiss on her lips)
Madison: Love you too, kiddo. (She sat Marcy down at the couch and sat down beside her) But it's high time to go to bed now.
Ephram sat down beside Marcy and listened to Madison.
Marcy: Ok, good night. (She gave her a kiss) Good night, Ephram! (She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss on his cheek)
Marcy ran upstairs while she was waving. Madison smiled at her and waved back.
Ephram: She's cute.
Madison: Yeah, she's my little sunshine.
Ephram: I see she make you smile. (He smiled at Madison who was still looking at the stairs)
Madison: Yeah she does. She's something special. (She looked in his eyes)
Ephram: I got Chinese food. (He held out the bag of food)
Madison: Are you hungry?
Ephram: Not yet. I got a movie for us.
Madison: What is the title?
Ephram: Silent Hill and it was really hard to get it. You know the Everwood video store, do you? (He held out the DVD)
Madison: Yeah, that's a horror movie? (She took it)
Ephram: Actually. That's your favorite type of movie I remembered. (He smiled at her)
Madison: I see you don't forget details. (She smiled back at him)
Madison got up and inlayed the DVD in the DVD player. She walked back to the couch and sat down beside Ephram. She held eye contact with the TV and Ephram starred at her.
Ephram: I don't know how to begin. I'm really sorry for my dad.
Madison: I'm not really mad about him but I'm not ready to look in his eyes or listen to his apology.
Ephram: I understand you and I want you to know that I'm not mad about you. I said a lot of rude remarks and bad words but I didn't mean it. I was mad about my dad and the whole world barred from you.
Madison: That's ok. You had the right to say that.
Ephram: No, nobody have the right to say that to you.
Madison: Why not? (She looked at him)
Ephram: You don't deserve that.
Madison: I made a big mistake, I deserved.
Ephram: Maybe but I don't think so. My dad knows that he made a big mistake and I forgave him but I can't forget.
Madison: Me too. Can we just watch the movie?
Ephram nodded and reclined and they watched the movie.
