'Great. Luke knows... Which means Juniper knows too.' Evanne thought and sighed. She looked at Ris as she knelt down in front of her. At least there was someone in town who wasn't completely hating her. She gave Ris a small smile when she admitted knowing the feeling of screwing everything up. She chuckled softly and nodded. She pushed some hair behind her ear. "Thanks... It's nice to know I'm not alone... sometimes I just think it was a bad idea for me to come back at all... even if it's better for Evelynn." She admitted softly.

"I don't hate you. I'm kinda jealous you have this little angel if I'm being brutally honest." Risalda told her, looking at Evelynn.

Evanne couldn't help but follow her gaze and look down at her daughter as well. She was so tuckered out. She should put her to bed, but she didn't want to leave Noah's side. She could always put another cot in his 'room' or take the one next to his. She wanted to make sure no one would come in and mess with him.

"Thank you... I don't know what I'd do without her... I don't think I'd be the same person I am now without her." She looked back at her friend. She touched her hand, letting Ris know she wasn't alone. Even in this crazy town, they still had people to be there for them. It had been so long since she confided in Ris, she was a little surprised at how easy it was. She hadn't meant to take Noah's side in the whole fight. But it was easier just to stay out of it then get into it.

"What?" Risalda was kinda caught off-guard and stood on her feet again. "Evanne, I know we have one thing in common, Noah. And, I know you think I hate you. The truth is, I don't. Any hate I have goes towards myself for putting him through what I did. At the time, I was swept up in emotions and wasn't thinking about the future outcomes."

Evanne looked up at Ris as she stood up, frowning a little. The thing was, she understood what she was. But had that not happened she would never have gotten her chances with Noah.

The blonde blushed as the doctor wiped away her tears. She nodded her head. That was one thing she didn't need to be told. Evelynn mattered above everything else. "No matter what happens to me and Noah, Evelynn will always have me." She swore. Nothing would ever tear her apart from her child. She gave her a small smile.

Evanne stood up, adjusting Evelynn in her arms. And then she just said it. "I love him... Noah, I mean. For a long time now..." She sighed. "It's not like I just slept with him to sleep with him." She told her. That was one of the main things worrying her. Did Aaron think she just slept with Noah because she was angry at him? Or was he more angry with her and Noah because he knew the truth? That even though she and Aaron had been dating on and off since they were kids, she had always loved Noah. She might now have openly showed it. She didn't even acknowledge it because she did love Aaron. He was her everything. He was her first. Well, Aaron had been her everything. Ever since she was with Noah and she let herself experience that love she knew that she loved Noah. That he was truly her everything. That was one of the reasons she left. She was so afraid of loving Noah and hurting Aaron.
