Kyle (runs his fingers through Sarah's hair): Whats up with the tears, love?
Sarah (crying): There are so many things happening all at once. I fear Chance may lose his innocence.
Kyle (touching Sarah's cheek): Chance is no John
Sarah: Kind, Chance has such an open heart. John doesn't trust people that much. John is headstrong while Chance practices meekness. Thats the difference between them.
Kyle: We must preserve the little boy's innocence

Kyle: Chance inspires me
Sarah: We will have to loosen the reins someday
Kyle: I am stepping into a new season of life. I don't have time for naysayers or haters. I wonder what the resistance would be like without me?
Sarah: Your absence may grieve people. They look up to you so much.
Kyle (hand in hand, he escorts Sarah to their bedroom): I am in the mood for tender loving care. How about you?
Sarah (flirtatious): I can't wait to get my hands on you
(Sarah and Kyle make love in the bed until there is nomore energy left in their bodies. They fall asleep knowing that great change is on the horizon.)
