To re-enlist meant, for Sean, more time away from Toronto. He may not be able to ever get Emma back but the military was causing havoc on his social life. He hadn't had a girlfriend since Emma. He had a few dates before he left for Iraq but those girls were nothing. He could stay in and make this his full time career. Kick butt and taking Names, Sean Cameron the awesome Solider or he could get out, go to school on G.I. Bill or open a shop. He thought about these things while he laid in his military issued sleeping bag. The stars of Montréal shined down on him. He should have been asleep. He should have left his phone in his barracks room. But he didn't and he wasn't.

Is there any chance you would ever change your mind?
I need to know.
I love you.

Sean sent the text to Emma. And tucked his phone out of sight. He slowly drifted off to sleep waiting for her reply.


By the time Toby saw Liberty go down he caught her just before she hit the ground.

"Liberty!" Toby shouted and picked up her phone.

"Hello? Hello? Mrs. VanZandt? HELLO!" the phone was hollering. Liberty opened her eyes and looked up at Toby.

"I'm not dreaming am I?"

"No." Toby helped her up and she lunged for the phone.

"I'm still here! Of course. Alright I will be on the next plane out." Liberty shut her phone

"What was that?" Toby asked concerned.

"Come on Toby I will tell you on the way to the airport I have to get to Ottawa." Liberty started towards her car Toby in tow.


Finally, Emma thought. I can put the closed sign up and head home. Her day was long and with little help because Spinner and Peter were in the studio. She only had the afternoon shift shared with the new girl from Degrassi although Jenna wasn't really much help being pregnant and all.

"Do you want me do anything else before I head home?" Jenna asked.

"No, that's fine. See you tomorrow."

"I have next teen star tomorrow I wont be here, see you on 't forget your phone is the back and it went off about two hours ago don't forget it. Bye." Jenna said on her way out the door.

Emma headed for her phone she saw the miss calls from Manny and Spinner. Before she called either of them back she wanted to check out her text messages.

Is there any chance you would ever change your mind?
I need to know.
I love you.

Emma had no idea what to say, if she should say anything at all. She erased the message in fear that Spinner would see it. Then she sat down on the counter top, rolled her feet under her legs and propped herself up against the cash register. She thought about what to say and again took her note out from J.T. looked it over and started to text Sean back.

I will always love you.
But maybe it is time you got over me.
Love
Emma.

Emma looked at her phone again. She knew she shouldn't send it but she did anyways. She wrapped the note back up.

"You are right J.T. I need to figure out my life and be happy." Emma got down from the counter and slowly walked out the door into the dark night. She got in her car and let her mind wonder to Sean. What would really make her happy would to be with him right now. She broke her five minute a day rule. She sat in her car for almost an hour before she headed home to be with her husband.


"I called Emma earlier but she never called me back. I want to pick her dress color before we leave" Manny told Jay while they were sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Boo calm down. We still have time to talk about it, like on the flight."

"Whatever Jay!"

"I wish you would stop stressing over the wedding."

"Okay I'll try but first come on lets go to bed."

"Manny its only 8:30"

"I didn't say we had to sleep." Manny winked her eye. Before she ran to the bedroom Jay chasing her.
