Week Nine: Alive
Very short scene; the flowers at the end of the episode got me inspired.
Set after 02x09.
"Where did all those come from?"
Eve looks up from the plant that she's currently tending to, smiling when she sees Will standing there, hands holding something behind his back, eyebrow raised.
"From Zac," she replies, moving a hand to gesture to one of the many bunches of flowers now planted in the ground. "And your mother, according to the letter left in the kitchen. She says she's sorry for what happened to Adam." There's a note of sadness in her voice, before she brushes it away, catching herself. "What have you got there?"
"Oh, yeah - I bought these -" He produces a bunch of flowers from behind his back, looking a little sheepish. "For Adam. Looks like everyone else beat me to it."
"They're lovely," she insists, reaching for them. "White. For forgiveness."
"Yeah." Will moves to sit on the ground next to her, cross-legged, watching as she begins to dig the hole to plant them in the ground.
"How is Cain?" She inquires suddenly, breaking the comfortable silence between them.
"I don't know. Haven't spoken to him. You'd have to ask Lily." There's a note of bitterness in his voice, one that doesn't escape Eve.
"Will -"
"What he did to Adam -"
"Was a mistake. Humans make mistakes all the time."
"Yeah, but, not like this."
"Besides, Adam is not really dead, no matter what Cain did." She gives him a small smile, a resolute one. "His memory is still alive, and maybe that is what is most important."
Yeah. I don't know. This is so late, but I wanted to get the thread of plot down before I forgot it again.
