Chapter 14

Emma knocked on the door to Evelyn's house. While the family may all live together in one big house, Evelyn had recently moved into a small house beside the big house. She had needed the space from her family, whom she loved, but at times they could be a bit much.

Emma was here to tell Evelyn that she had just put Adam in jail for breaking and entering, and he did those things for her. To get her necklace back. But someone else had gotten to it before Adam could, the necklace hadn't been there and it wasn't on Adam's person. Emma was very annoyed at the fact that she now had to find the stupid necklace once again.

A woman a bit older then Emma opened the door. She had the same sort of red hair as Evelyn had. "Can I help you?" She asked, her voice was pretty and quiet.

"I'm looking for Evelyn," Emma said, she assumed this girl was one of Evelyn's sisters.

"Oh," The woman looked shocked, "She's not here right now. She just went into town."

Emma nodded, "Thank you. I guess I'll go look for her."

"Is she in trouble?" The woman asked.

"No, but the man she pulled out of the ocean yesterday is in jail," Emma explained. "I just wanted to know if she wanted to go visit him."

"Adam is in jail?" the woman looked perplexed. "He's such a sweetheart! What did he do?"

"I can't discuss that," Emma sighed, all she wanted to do was leave now and go see if Mary Margaret was okay with Adam. "I'm really sorry." She turned to leave.

"Evelyn is very fragile," the woman said quickly. "Maybe you shouldn't tell her about Adam."

Adam sat slumped in his corner of the jail, Mary Margaret had pulled her small bed so she was closer to his cell. "I just wanted to get her that necklace. She seems so sad."

"Oh Adam," Mary Margaret sighed. "I remember when we went to her concert she and her sisters had and you were enamored with her then! Of course you want to help her now."

Adam looked up, his dark eyelashes hiding his blue eyes. He quickly stood up and took hold of Mary Margaret's hands. "You know I never meant to hurt you."

Mary Margaret looked down, she smiled. "I know," she took a deep breath. "But it all worked out!"

"How is falling in love with a married man 'Worked Out'" Adam asked, he nudged her chin up so she was looking into his eyes again. "And didn't he think you killed his wife too?"

"I don't know," Mary Margaret sighed. "All I know is I love him. With something that is so fierce and hot as a blazing fire," she closed her eyes. "Even if he breaks my heart I know I can never be the same without him. Just as you can never be the same without Evelyn."

Adam kissed her gently on her forehead. "Its not easy is it?"

"THAT'S an understatement!" Mary Margaret laughed. There was a small noise, and they both turned to look. Evelyn stood there, her hand over her mouth.

"Evelyn!" Adam gasped, pulling his hands quickly away from Mary Margaret's. "You're here!"

Evelyn looked at Mary Margaret and then began to sign. Mary Margaret had learned a while ago how to sign so she was easily able to talk for her. "She wants to know why you're in love with her?"

Adam looked at Mary Margaret and then back at Evelyn. "It was that day you sang in the park. Mary Margaret and I were on a date, our last date actually, and you came on the stage. You sisters had already sung and it was your turn. Alone. And you were so confident and beautiful and your voice was so magical I fell in love. And then when you were done your father came running onto the stage and he told you…" Adam paused. "That news. You ran off the stage with your family and Mary Margaret told me to go after you, to see if you were okay. But when I was running on the peer to your house I fell into the ocean…"

He stopped talking as Evelyn came closer towards him. Mary Margaret finished his story for him. "He got sick Evelyn," She explained. "And he's been sick until a couple of months ago when he got better. No one knows how. And then he was in his boat in the ocean…You know the rest."

Someone cleared their throat behind Evelyn. "It looks like you have company Miss Blanchard." Regina grinned. "You two should never have broken up."
