"I'll be back in a moment. I just need to see my brother. Just for a moment."
Juniper nodded her head at Luke's words. Of course he needed to see Noah, he didn't need to be so tentative about it. Though she supposed that was for his own sake not for hers. As Luke left Juniper completely alone with the all too infamous Evelynn she looked at the drowsy kid and asked "Rough day, huh?" With that Evelynn looked at Juniper with those bid blue eyes and then suddenly lulled to sleep. Perhaps it was too much commotion for the little one. After all, she had been crying nearly this whole time since the gun went off. Juniper sighed as she realized as she was talking to an infant that was too tired to even care. Juniper frowned, despite the good news the Noah was going to be just fine she still worried.
This was town was going to shit, and quickly. Perhaps Dust was still too conservative and maybe the newcomers were a stupid idea. Juniper shifted Evelynn to her one side and ran her free hand through her hair. It didn't take long for Luke to come back, but he was not in the mood she expected him. Before he even spoke Juniper could tell that he was upset. His eyes had that dark ember glow in them and his posture was far from relaxed. For a moment, Juniper thought the worst. Had Noah suddenly taken a wrong turn? Was Noah dying? But then Luke spoke. First, Juniper was confused. Why was he talking about Evelynn?
"Evelyn, she's Noah's..."
"What?" Was all the Juniper could muster at first thought. Part of her wanted to laugh, honestly. Juniper was considered the wild child of the town, yet Evanne had managed to sleep with every man with some kind of power. Then she wondered who else Evanne had- No. She didn't really want to know. Though Juniper couldn't really blame her, this town was full of attractive men with good intentions. Well, beside Luke, but most women didn't know how to play his game and simply just got lost in his charm and good looks.
Luke was upset, which surprised Juniper a little bit. They had spoken about their suspicions, but they had never really talked about the fact that Luke have actually wanted a child. The idea made Juniper sick to the stomach for a couple of seconds, remembering Robin. "We're just not meant to have kids," she said dryly. She clenched her teeth for a moment and then shook her head.
"I mean, not yet." Her eyes wandered for a moment and then she let out a sigh. "I'm sorry," Juniper said, brining her attention back to Luke. This wasn't about her. "I didn't know you cared that much," she said honestly. Still holding the little Evelynn she felt the urge to leave this bloodstained, chemical smelling hut. She nervously paced for a moment, trying to listen to Luke.
"We should get out of here."
