Eve had spent the last few days dodging her mother's angry messages, which had finally started to soften.  She had just finished up having lunch with her sister when her phone rang.  The custom ring signaled her that it was Casey, so she hugged her goodbyes to Ellie and began to walk down the street as she answered.<br/><br/>"I just got done with lunch.  Ellie is starting to turn around in her opinion of you, slowly but surely.  She still holds a firm grudge against your brother though..."  She told him.  Her voice got a bit quieter, since she knew this was not a regular call.  Deep down, she was pretty sure they both wanted to be together during this tough time, but knew it might add fuel to the fire of the feud, which they both hoped was starting to die.<br/><br/>"How did things go?  I'm only a couple blocks away, so I should be home soon."  Eve could remember her father's funeral.  She had dreaded going to it, saying her last goodbyes.  The actual act of attendance was not as bad as she thought it might be.  It had been an open casket funeral and even though her father laid there in the wooden box, it somehow didn't look like him.  There was an odd comfort in that, because it felt like he had moved on.<br/><br/>"I was also thinking, you've been so good about sleeping on the couch, but I think tonight...I just can't imagine you're getting great sleep and you deserve a good night's rest so I can take the couch tonight or we can just...We can just share the bed."  It was probably an odd time to suggest it, but she had noticed that the circles under his eyes were starting to darken a little and Eve just wanted to give him a good chance to get some rest after all he had been through.
