"Are we going back home or to the hospital?" He asked.
"Do you want to go home?" Avery asked.
She wanted to go back to the hospital and wait for Eric to wake up so that she could set Eric's parents' minds at peace.
"I will stay in the hospital with you, then!" He could almost read her mind.
"You know what I'm thinking without asking me now." She giggled.
"If I can't do that even after all the years we've been together, we must be doing something wrong," he said. "You should know me like the back of your hand by now, too, right?"
"I used to think that I do back when we were dating, but we would get into such big fights whenever something happens, so I stop thinking if I know you or not." She avoided his question. "Happiness is the most important in a relationship. It doesn't matter if we know each other well."
"How would we manage to stay together for so long if we don't know each other? Just say that you know me."
"Are you putting words in my mouth?"
"You are doing this on purpose, aren't you?"
"Hahaha! You are so childish!" She pinched him on the cheek, leaving a red mark that faded right away.
"Who's the childish one here?" Elliot grabbed her hand with resignation.
"Both of us. Happy? I want to go back to Aryadelle for a short while after Eric regains consciousness," she said. "I want to see Robert and Ivy."
"Aren't you sick of sitting in a plane for hours already?"
"You can come with me! It's not tiring at all if you are with me."
