She dragged Abbie back into the archives as Frank and Irving left to get take out.
" Okay, what is going on with you and Crane? Did he ask you out?" she asked getting excited at the thought of Abbie and Crane finally dating.
" What? No, Jenny how many times do i have to tell you that me and Crane are just friends" she lied, it's not like she didn't want to tell Jenny her feelings for Crane because she really did, she wanted them to be able to talk to each other about that sort of thing and maybe if it had have been someone other than Crane then she would have opened up to Jenny but it wasn't someone else and she just didn't know if she wanted Jenny knowing, not yet at least.
" Oh come on, i've seen the way you two are when your together, like the whole world just disappears and it's just the two of you".
" Yeah, well we're the two witnesses we need our bond to be strong" she said although Jenny knew she wasn't certain of the statement.
" If you say so, it's just, oh never mind ".
" No what is it?".
" Well it's just that ' Just Friends' don't look at each other that way".
Abbie took in a deep breath to give herself time to think about what to say, but it wasn't enough time and so for a moment the two stood in silence.
" Look, i don't know what you think you know but me and Crane are just friends alright, nothing more, i'm going to get something from my desk
". she said and with that she stormed out of the archives.
Ichabod and Frank had been just about to leave when Irving remembered he had left his wallet in the archives.
" I will retrieve it " said Ichabod and before Irving could object he was was out of the car and halfway to the archives.
It had been two weeks since the horseman had kidnapped them and since them he hadn't reappeared leaving Ichabod time to think about what he should do concerning his feelings for Abbie, after all he was fairly certain that she felt the same way and he intended to tell her and he planned to do it tonight once Irving and Jenny had left leaving him in a good mood. He hummed the song Abbie always sang in the shower as he approached the archive door almost skipping but stopped when he heard Abbies raised voice, he knew he shouldn't but he couldn't help himself from listening. He leaned in so his ear was up against the door.
" Crane and i are just friends alright, nothing more, i'm going to get something from my desk".
He was pushed back as the archives door swung open with him behind them, he pushed himself up against the wall in an attempt to stay hidden and stayed there until the door swung back and Abbie had crossed the street.
