Will You Keep The Secret

She couldn't help but grin instantly at the smirk. "I'll be flattered if I wanna be," She joked lightly.

Drake laughed quietly before whispering, "So what's the plan for today?"

"I thought id leave that up to you, we can work on getting your memories back or just have some fun."

"I.... Can you take me to Connor?"

Amanda nodded slowly. "Of course. If that's what you'd like to do today."

Drake nodded subtly, "Yes please..."

"Whenever you're ready we'll go."

"Now is fine...." He whispered, getting to his feet.

She nodded and got to her feet also, quickly clearing the table first and then walking over to him. "Alright, ready."

Drake motioned for her to lead the way.

Amanda headed out closing the doors behind them and leading the way towards Connor and Cassie's home.

Drake walked in silence.

When they got there Amanda knocked on the door lightly.

"You get it?" Connor asked quietly from where he was still laying in bed, face buried in his pillow tiredly.

Cassie rolled over and kissed his cheek. "Alright, be right back." She slipped from the bed and downstairs opening the door. "Amanda, Drake. Um come in." She stepped back.

"Hello Cassie, Drake wanted to see Connor..."

Drake smiled nervously in greeting, taking a step backwards behind Amanda; almost as if he was nervously hiding.

----
Connor yawned.

She smiled softly. "Of course. Have a seat if you like I'll go get him." Cassie waved at the couches and went upstairs, sitting on the bed she touched Connor's shoulder. "Con, you have a vistor."

Amanda nodded and reaching back she took his and giving it a tiny squeeze. "It's okay. That's Connor's wife."

"I- I've changed my mind about this. Can we do something else? I can't do this... Too much pressure, I'll be expected to remneber and I can't. I just can't."

----
"I'm tired, can't they come back another time?"

Amanda turned to face him. "Are you sure Drake?"

She nodded. "Yeah. I can tell them you're asleep."

Drake nodded shakily, repeating quietly, "I can't do this. Too much pressure, far too much."

----
"Thank you, come and join me again afterwards?"

She nodded kissing the top of his head before heading downstairs.

Amanda nodded. "Okay, it's okay. We'll come back when you're more ready." She squeezed his fingers gently glancing at Cassie knowing she heard what he'd said so she wouldn't have to repeat it.

"It's alright. Connor's asleep anyhow. Come back when you're ready Drake, alright?"

Drake nodded sheepishly, lowering his gaze to the ground. Almost shamefully as he whispered, "I'm a coward."

Both ladies shook their head replying at the same time, "You're not."

Amanda continued though. "Drake no. I can't imagine how hard this must be for you. It's a lot to take in and deal with, you shouldn't be expected to over night."

Drake just shrugged a little bit before turning and walking away; not even entirely sure where he was going, his hands in his pockets.

Amanda sighed softly and with a quick wave to Cassie took off after him. "Drake!", she called catching up to walk at his side. "Where are you going?"

----
Watching them go Cassie soon turned and went back to the bedroom, slipping under the covers beside Connor and wrapping him in her arms.
