Evan smiled and said, "Not if we give them enough benefits."
Avery said, "Then Gabrielle..."
Evan said, "Do you want them to stay together?"
Avery answered, "Not really. I don't think Jackson is right for her. But..."Avery could tell Gabrielle liked Jackson. So she couldn't bear to keep them apart.
Evan said, "O's Clam is not a good place. It's best we stay away from it."He carried her to take one step after another. He thought if he was in Jackson's shoes and Avery in Gabrielle's shoes, what would he do?
The more in love Jackson was, the more scared he was to let Gabrielle take any risks.
Actually, when Evan's grandfather used the kid in Avery's belly as the leverage, he compromised too. He cared too much.
Evan's grandfather was a difficult man to deal with. And O's Clam had more than Jackson's grandfather. Every member of the gang was a tough ass witnessing many cruel things.
