Who? Hemingway & Abi
Where? Abi's apartment
When? This evening
What? Acknowledging scars, and then making them better.
Rating? High
Open? No
Ernest felt so damn at home with Abi and her son, that some nights it just became miserable to sit on his own. The days were fine, the mornings were when he worked, and when he was clacking away at those keys he didn't feel empty at all, quite the opposite. it kept the negativity at bay. But it was in the evening, when he often took to drinking just to stop himself from thinking, from letting that darkness creep on him.
So, once Charlie had his story, and was off to bed, Ernest could have left, but he really didn't want to. And he didn't think Abi wanted him to either. Why would they both spend the rest of the evening alone, in their separate apartments? That was ridiculous.
Instead, once Abi came back from Charlie's room, Ernest was instantly pulling her into his arms, kissing her deeply and passionately, feeling his body just relax instantly. "Hi," he said softly, with a little smile against her lips.
