Derek (grabbing hold of the razor): I don't understand
Sarah (snatches the razor from Derek): I am cutting myself
Derek (fighting back tears): Why?!
Sarah (choked up): I have lost hope
Derek: I wish I could help you
Sarah (puts the razor back in the drawer): Save yourself
Derek (kisses Sarah): I love you

Derek: Kyle doesn't appreciate you like I do
Sarah (embracing Derek): Thanks for being here for me when he couldn't
Derek: No problem
Action: Sarah finds a silver necklace in her jewelry box. Sarah wears her wedding ring around her neck instead of her finger. This action shocks Derek, but he doesn't say anything.
Sarah (walking out of the bathroom): I will make pancakes
Derek (follows Sarah downstairs into the kitchen): Why do you only make pancakes when things are perfect?
Sarah (getting out the pancake mix): That's how I roll
Kyle (storms into the Kitchen and notices Sarah is not wearing her wedding ring): Where is your wedding ring?
