Episode Forty-Six
Becca quickly adjusted Christian's tie as the two walked down the sidewalk. Christian had refused a ride from either from his parents earlier, instead choosing to walk down to the courthouse with Becca.
"Do you want to stop at Jax's for a little juice to get you ready for the big day?" Becca asked. "I hear he's got this awesome concotion made especially for situations like this."
Christian shook his head mildly. "I'd rather just enjoy this beautiful morning. I'd never realize how beautifully the sun stood out against the morning sky. I know it sounds corny, but it's the small things like that that I feel I'm missing out on."
"Yeah," Becca took Christian's hand in her, "I know."
Christian swung his arm, with Becca's, up and down. "I don't want to bog you down, though. It's too beautiful of a morning to get depressed. Why don't we stop off at the Gardens before we head to the courthouse."
"Do we have enough time?"
Christian surprised himself by laughing. He stopped, a quizzical look popping up on his face.
Becca noticed the look and giggled herself. "It's been a while since you laughed, Christian. It's good to hear it again."
Christian suddenly became sober as he looked into Becca's eyes. "I don't know how you've been able to put up with me. I've been such a dope these past few weeks."
Becca's voice was gentle when she answered, "You've welcomed me into this school like no other person, Chris. I'll never be able to repay you for the kindness you've shown. Goodness knows times have been hard for both of us..."
"What do you mean by that?"
Becca suddenly realized her mistake. "I just meant that with me moving here and your family problems, we've barely had time for anything else. I say that when this is all over, we go out for a night on the town or something. The mood has been too tense over the last couple of weeks. We definetly need to liven up and get out and about again. Whadya say?"
Christian looped his arm in Becca's. "I'm all for it if you are. We're off to see the wizard!" Christian began singing merrily, and soon Becca joined in with her high soprano. "The wonderful Wizard of Oz!"
