Ernest had checked that Abi was okay without him for an hour or so, much to her irritation. He knew that he had become somewhat overbearing in his affections and concerns since she'd discovered that she was carrying their child. He had been wondering what to say to her about where he was going, and who he was meeting. He didn't want to lie to her in the slightest, but he also didn't want to think or discuss why it was that Lucy hadn't mentioned Abi's name in her messages. As it turned out, it didn't matter - Abi had practically pushed him out the door, considering it was the first time he'd allowed himself to be more than a metre away from her in weeks.
Even now, sitting in the Ruby near the door and waiting, Ernest had a slight nervousness about him. His phone sat on the table, on loud and vibrate, just in case anything at all happened at home. He knew he was being ridiculous, but he just couldn't help it.
