"I'm Emilia-rose" she didn't say her last name and Andy was glad she didn't she didn't wanted to talk about him right now "she has beautiful eyes" he said to her but the more he looked at her , shit ! It clicked in his head these are not Andy's eyes he thought , those are like his best friend eyes some really blue eyes. OMG! He thought to himself that's what he thought. "What" Andy asked confused
"I ugh .." "Robert what's wrong" he got taken back when she said her name he just couldn't believe it he couldn't believe anything "you're Lucas wife?" "Yeah?" She asked confused "You are my best friend wife" Andy looked at him shocked and then everything went back in her mind the memories flashed and she remembered everything. The last conversation he had about his best friend she got caught up in the memories and her daughter had seen her zoom out "mommy! When are we going to the park?" " sweetie what about we go back home?" "But mommy!" "Em please , I don't feel good" "fine , but I'm mad at you" she said making her way to the car letting Andy and Robert standing next to each other's "Andy I-" " don't please" she said we could hear it in her voice the hurt and the pain , she made her way to the car "Andy can we please talk, or U can just listen apparently you're good at that" and that hurt Andy even more, the only person that knew Andy was a great listener was the close person to her, which mean her husband did talk with Robert about her , she ignored him and went in her car and drove home. Emilia ran inside , she was mad and sad her mother said they would go to the park " you are both early weren't U going to the park ?" Travis asked when he heard the door close " mommy said we could go and then she said we couldn't because she wasn't feeling well" she said going angrily in her room "em get your swimsuit on we're gonna go the pool and play at the park after okay?" Travis yell "yeaaah U are fun , not mommy" that sentence hurt Andy and she broke down on the couch "hey ands hey , what's going on?" He took her in a side hug and she rested on his chest "Andy talk to me" " I can't not now go to the park Travis thank U for being there for her" "alright call me if U need anything" the door bell rang " hi could I see Herrera ?" The person said "how r u ?" "I'm in the same group as her" "oh okay yeah come in" "ands! Someone is here for U we are leaving" "okay bye ! Have a nice time" she got down the stairs and saw the man stand there "what are U doing here?" She asked wiping her tears " " Andy we need to talk" "don't call me andy , it's Andrea for you I don't think U have my respect to call me by my short name" " fine we need to talk Andrea" she should've stick with Andy him saying her full name send chills down her spine and it was a weird feeling " look I was gonna leave" "great I'm coming with U" "Robert please!" "No Andrea I mean it I want us to talk and now so you're driving or I'm driving?" " I'll drive , just be aware we're gonna be gone for a long time so if U have plan tomorrow U should cancel them. When they were close to the only place where Andy feels at home Robert asked her a question " so where exactly are we going ?" "We are there" she said he looked over to his right and he saw it, she got out of the car and took the blanket and some yoga mats out of her car and brought them next to Lucas grave she layed everything and she layed down looking at the stars " so this is where you go at nights" "yeah.." he sat next to her " can I ask why?" He asked he always thought that going repeatedly to see their spouse grave was harder as U wouldn't let go "being here with him every night just spending my time here taking to him or not talking it's the only way I feel home, I miss him like crazy every minute of everyday and my daughter, she makes me think of him even more, they look so much alike I'm not ready to let him go I don't know if I ver will let him go, I just don't want to" " you know Andrea , when my wife died , I told myself the same thing as U I would spend some time at her grave and then go to the bar , but then I thought about my health and my daughters rose" "they both have the same names" Andy said Robert just smiled " and I went back to work , my sister took charge of my daughter since she works from home I love out from my appartement in Seattle and went to Montana" " I went to work right after the accident, and then I left for two months and I came back I stayed like a year and then I couldn't do it I was hurting myself being at work I couldn't see him anymore he wasn't there and I just , I came back last year for a day and never went back since, I see my team some times but it's rare" how do U feel about going back to work did u think about that?" "I don't know if I'm ready I'm better than I was but look at me I came here around 8-9 normally stay here until 2 am after I go to the bar get drunk or not get a cab to my house and wakes up my daughter at 9... I'm a mess" " it's okay to be a mess Andrea " he said putting a hand on her knee which caused her to say next to him " are U ready to go back to work or U don't feel like being able too?" "I still feel guilty about that night" "it wasn't your fault Andrea" "it was, I insisted on him doing a second check up and he went for it cause I was his commanding officer , look I'm not sure I'm ready to talk about all these things but if U want to talk I can listen" "yeah I know I don't want to talk either about my wife, look andy I only realized today who U were I would've told U before if I knew but your name Andrea it wasn't the first time I heard it and Lucas never told me your entire name so , look I'm sorry , but me an Lucas we did talk about U something's and don't get me wrong seeing U like that today surprise me" "yeah , look Lucas told me about U too but not that much I only knew your name and like my name it's not a rare name so, but look I think that if we see each other more often we can learn more and we'll see there , how about that ?" "I think that's great". They just sat there for hours next to each other eventually Andy's body felt heavy she rested her head on Sullivan's shoulder and he put his arms around her and he held her close she finally fell asleep he picked her up and drives her back home, he knew the house by heart he came a lot with Ripley before he meet Andy and in his first year of marriage this was always Lucas house . He helped her in bed and he covered her body "good night andrea "he said in a whispering voice he made his way out and he heard "good night Robert" he smiled to himself and left.
