"Simon, we should talk."

It ran through his mind like a speeding bullet. He seemed to hear those words a lot latley.

"Simon, we should talk"

Those words saved him once, and killed him another. They saved him from making a big mistake, and caused him to make one. Rose had said it when she was unsure if she wanted to go through with the wedding. He heard it from just about every member of his family in the days before the wedding. The wedding that was never meant to be. Those times, it saved him. The last time he had heard it was the time that made his heart crumble.

"Simon, we should talk."

When those words came out of Sandy's mouth, Simon's heart dropped to his stomach.

"Are you ok? Is Aaron ok?" were the words that instantaneously came out of his mouth, without him even thinking about it.

"We're both fine, but we really should talk." She replied. As soon as Sandy said that, Simon knew everything was anything but 'fine.'

He then realized he hadn't said anything and had left her waiting. "Ok. We should go somewhere quiet, and more private." Simon said nervously. He thought "I wonder what's up. This must be something. She never acts like this…"

She followed him inside to the kitchen table. "So, what do we need to talk about?" Simon asked.

Sandy was staring aimlessly at the dance floor.

"Sandy…?" Simon asked.

"Oh, right. What happened?" Sandy asked.

Simon got into his story and Sandy continued to daze, nodding occasionally to let Simon know she was listening. "What were you thinking? You know, you are such and idiot sometimes…." Sandy thought. As Sandy stared at the dance floor watching Rose and Umberto dance and laugh and look into each other's eyes, she couldn't help but think " Why can't I be loved like that? Why can't Simon fall for me like that? If he'd only dance with me. And once again, Rose got exactly what she wanted and I am getting nothing I want." Sandy came out of her daydream and back into reality just as Simon wrapped up his story. She giggled, not knowing what else to do.

Simon realized she had other things on her mind. Bigger things.

"…..So, what did you really come all the way out here to tell me?"

Sandy thought for a moment "…Stupid, stupid, stupid. JUST SAY SOMETHING!"

"Oh, well…Just to…..." She paused for a moment.

"To….?" Simon asked.

"To tell you…." She stopped. "Do you remember when I was pregnant and I told you I loved you and I was jealous of you and Rose?"

"Umm…Yeah…" Simon replied.

"Well, it's still true, sort of. I love you. And I always have. And I probably always will. I don't see myself getting over you that easily."

"Wow…" was the only word Simon managed to speak.

" You know what, I'm such an idiot. I shouldn't have said anything. I'm sorry."

"No, it's ok. It's just….wow…" Simon was so surprised, he couldn't even finish his sentence.

" I should go." Sandy said as she got up. She walked away so fast Simon didn't have time to stop her. He was too overwhelmed. He walked outside and saw her getting in the car. She looked back and their eyes met, so Simon walked back inside and shut the door, still overwhelmed. He sat back at the table. Simon sighed. "I love you too."

A.N.: Hope you liked it. Will continue with the rest of the Camdens…..
