Em says I'm making a big deal out of things. Then again, she told me he deserved it. I sigh and brush the hair out of my face. Em smiles and wraps her arm around my shoulders. I look up at her and smile, letting my head rest on her shoulder. She opens the door to the car, and bows down playfully.

"M'lady," She chuckles, and I curtsy and step into the car. Em swears under her breath at the icy driveway, and her foot lightly presses on the pedal. I watch her struggle, and can't help it smile. We pull up to the house, and I shiver as we shuffle to the door. I reach towards the doorbell, but the door opens, and Zeke is smiling widely. I'm still rather confused about how he recovered so quickly, well, other then the broken wrist that's still healing. He waves us in, and we walk silently to his room. Mari is there, staring out the window, sitting in Zeke's beanbag. I shuffle over to Zeke's bed, and sit down, my legs hanging over the side.

"So...." Em mutters, impatient at the silence. "Whatcha wanna do?"

"I dunno." Mari says. I shrug, and we all look over at Zeke.

"You guys wanna... go for a... lunch?"

"A lunch?" Em says, laughing.

"Ugh! Em, you are so difficult."

"Thank you. I try to be."

Mari chuckles, and we head down stairs.

"Dibs on driving!" Zeke calls.

"Wait.." Mari mumbles. "Do you even remember how?"

"Pfft! Of course! All you have to do is hit the pedal!" He exclaims, racing to the garage. 

I roll my eyes, and glance over at Em, who's smiling slightly.

We begin driving, the semi melted snow causing the car to bump and rattle.  We soon pull up to the restaurant, it's outside walls a dark cream color.  We park close to the door, and slowly walk into the building.  Soft music plays, voices making it hard to hear.  I feel someone grasp my hand, and I see Em smiling down at me.  I rest my head on her shoulder.

"Love ya." She mumbles.  I smile, and turn, putting my hands on her shoulders.  "And I'll always love you.'

I press my lips against hers, and for a split second, everything is perfect.
