#Chapter 36: A Hopeful Effort
Abby
My fingers tap anxiously against the table as I dial Adam’s number. After a few rings, his voice, smooth
and deep, answers. “Hello?”
“Adam,” I start, trying to steady my voice, “It’s me.”
There’s a slight pause on the other end. “Hey, Abbs. What’s up?”
I take a deep breath. “I’ve been thinking ever since what happened the other night… we’ve been so
caught up lately with everything, and I thought maybe we could have a candlelit dinner tomorrow night.
Just the two of us. No distractions.”
Another pause. Then, a soft chuckle comes through. “Sounds… unexpected. But I’m in. Why not?”
The relief is immediate, but I need more assurance. Adam has been late or flaked on me way too many
times for me to take his initial word for it. “You promise you’ll be there? Eight o’clock?”
There’s a sigh from the other end. “Abby, you know I’m always busy, but if you want this, then yes, I
promise. I’ll be there.”
“But Adam,” I say, my voice quivering slightly, “I need you to really promise. Swear on it.”
“Okay, okay,” he laughs, the tone light, “I swear on it. I’ll be there.”
I can’t shake off a nagging feeling. “I just… I need this, Adam. I need to feel that connection again, that
it’s just you and me. No distractions. And I need you to be on time. It’s going to hurt me a lot if you’re
late or if you flake out on me.”
There’s a few moments of silence. Then, in a tender tone, he says, “Abby, I know we’ve had our ups
and downs, and I know I’ve been…preoccupied lately. But I promise I’ll be there tomorrow. I wouldn’t
miss it for the world.”
His words soothe the unease in my heart, at least for the moment. “Thank you, Adam,” I reply. “I just
want us to have a night where it’s all about us.”
He chuckles again. “It’s been a while since we had one of those, hasn’t it? I’m looking forward to it. Just
and a candlelit dinner. Sounds

times, Abby. Tomorrow night, it’ll be just like that.
