Sha're took a deep breath as she opened the door to SG1.

"Come in," she said stepping back and allowing them all inside the small apartment she was now living in.

"This is great," Sam said as she handed Sha're the plant she'd brought as a house-warming present, "You've done a great job."

"Yeah," the three men all nodded as though they knew what Sam was talking about.

"Take a seat and I will call for something to eat," Sha're told them before disappearing into the kitchen to call for pizza.

She had now lived here for one week, a week since she had left the home Daniel had made for them because she was so damaged she couldn't stay with him.

Her rescue from the Goa'uld then her reunion with Daniel had been wonderful but as the elation waned, and they had to learn to live together again, Sha're found the feeling of being trapped beginning to surface. It was horrible because she felt trapped with him but when he wasn't there she felt numb and lost.

Dr Edwards, the therapist Janet had recommended to her, worked with Sha're through everything that had happened to her over the years. Edwards didn't let Sha're hide from anything including the problems in her marriage. It wasn't that Sha're didn't love Daniel, she would always insist to Edwards how much she loved her husband but finally she admitted how much she felt trapped.

Edwards then asked Daniel to come in with her for a session and they discussed this for hours. By the end of the day Sha're was in tears promising Daniel she loved him but as she explained her feelings he hugged her and finally they made the heartbreaking decision to live apart.

"Hey," Daniel appeared, "Do you want me…"

"No," Sha're cut him off quickly, before giving him a soft smile, "I can do this. I have to learn how to live in this world alone."

Daniel reached out took her hand in his, "Are you sure about this? Are you sure because we can move you back in a couple of hours."

Sha're looked into his blue eyes, and wanted to tell him how scared she was, how she wanted to be held by him but that wouldn't solve anything and she would only end up hurting him even more than she already had.

"I am sure," she lied with smile before turning away so he didn't see the tears filling her eyes.
