It has been several days and Michael has not talked to Sara and Millicent seemed to ignore him too. He came home from work to find Lincoln waiting for him.
" So what's going on?" Lincoln asked him.
" Nothing," Michael answered," So why say anything."
Michael then saw Millicent coming down the hallway.
" Good evening," Millicent said," Who do we have here?"
" This is my brother," Michael answered," All of the sudden you're talking to me again."
" I'm sorry," Millicent said," I was giving you your space. I told you I wouldn't bother you anymore Michael."
" You're not a bother," Michael told her," Again this in my brother."
Millicent looked at Lincoln.
" Lincoln," Lincoln said.
" Oh," Millicent said," Millicent Morgan. It's nice to meet you."
Lincoln and Millicent shook hands.
" You don't have to be afraid," Lincoln told her.
" I'm not," Millicent said," I have to go. I've got work to do."
Millicent went down the hall and into her apartment. Lincoln smiled.
" She's sweet," Lincoln said," So what's going on with Sara?"
Michael and Lincoln went into Michael's apartment.
" Sara and I haven't talked since that night at the coffee house," I can't talk to anyone."
" And Millicent?" Lincoln asked.
" Linc," Michael said going to the fridge," Millicent is young and I think I have seen her with someone lately."
A knock came to the door several minutes later. Michael looked out to see Millicent standing there.
" Millie," Michael said opening the door," What's wrong?"
" I need your advice," Millicent said," Is there anything wrong with me?"
" That depends," Michael told her," What are you referring to?"
" Oh never mind," Millicent said," Why would you care?"
Millicent went back to her apartment.
" What was that all about?" Lincoln asked.
" I have no clue," Michael answered," Maybe Millicent wanted help with something."
Millicent then came back down the hall.
" Hey," Michael said.
" I'm sorry," Millicent said," I don't mean to cause trouble."
Michael looked at her and the dress she was wearing.
" You look beautiful," Michael said," Where are you going?"
" Out," Millicent answered," It's someone I ran into when I was taking my test. I used to know him in high school."
Michael smiled at her.
" You want my advice," Michael told her," You look great."
Millicent smiled," I won't ask," she said," I hope things work out with you and Sara."
" Nosy little one," Michael said laughing.
Lincoln smiled too.
" I'll see you," Millicent said," I have to go."
Millicent went down the hall and saw Sara.
" Sara," Millicent said.
" Do you know if Michael is home?" Sara asked her.
" Yeah he is," Millicent answered," Michael is with his brother Lincoln. I'll see you later."
Sara didn't want to disturb Michael, but she needed to talk to him.
Lincoln was actually leaving when he saw Sara.
" Lincoln," Sara said," So good to see you."
" Good to see you too," Lincoln told her," Michael is inside."
Michael happened to hear and opened the door.
" Sara," Michael said.
" See you later," Lincoln said going down the hall.
Michael looked at Sara.
" Do you want to come in?" Michael asked her.
" I did come here to talk to you," Sara told him.
Sara came in and Michael stared at her.
" Michael," Sara said," This is not easy. I have thought about this. About what you said."
" I meant it," Michael said," Every single word."
" I know," Sara told him," I heard you."
Michael went up to her," Then will you be with me?" he asked.
" We need to take this slow," Sara told him," I don't want to rush it."
" Neither do I," Michael said," You want to do to dinner with me?"
Sara happened to smile," I'd love to," she said," But what is up with Millicent?"
" I don't know," Michael said," I think she has her own date."
