Far Better*

Zeres rose in surprise. He had felt someone's presence, but he thought Alicia just dropped by to check on him like she usually does. He never thought it was actually Abigail! Why was she here? 

"Abigail…" he murmured as he watched her walked closer to him. She looked around the small meadow before she gave him a warm smile.

"This place is nice and quiet," she commented as she climbed on top of the fine flat rock, sat next to Zeres, and then faced him. "How are you?"

"I'm good," he answered calmly. "How about you? Is everything alright?" he added as he looked around, looking for someone.

"Alex's not here," Abi told him. "He went to look for Ezekiel."

Zeres slowly turned to her, curious.

"Alex and I are doing great, Zeres." She continued, making Zeres relax. With a smile, he casually threw his head back and gazed up at the dark sky. His silver hair tumbled then settled behind him.
