Chapter 3

After a little while Sarah starts to calm down and leaves her bedroom and is making her way over to the stairs when she hears Ambers music and just touches the door and listens then goes downstairs to the kitchen to make herself some coffee but struggles and makes a lot of noise just struggling with the grief of loosing her daughter and turning a year older all the next day then the door bell rings and she makes her way over to the door wiping her tears with the sleeve of her plaid button down shirt and finally opens the door.

"Hi!" a handsome man says

"Mark" Sarah says

"how ya doing Sarah?" he wonders

Sarah just stands there in shock for a minute.

"wha...what are you doing here?" she wonders

"just was in the neighborhood and thought I'd drop by to see you." he tells her

"but how...nevermind, so you're back?" she wonders

"I never left but yeah I am." he tells her and smiling at her

"Sar...Sarah are you okay?" he wonders in concern

"I'm fine." she tells him shutting the door behind her so she's standing outside with him

"so what's been uh going on with you Sarah?" he wonders

"just a lot of stuff Amber had a car accident, my play, Amber just told me that she is moving out and it's my birthday tomorrow and I;m not a very happy camper

"ah turning a year older." he says

"yes the big 40." she tells him

"oh." he laughs

"oh don't laugh." she tells him sarcastically and sits down on the step with him

"sorry I've still got a while until I hit that age." he tells her

"oh you're so funny." she tells him sarcastically rolling her eyes at him
