Matt woke up first the next morning. He smiled when he saw Sarah sleeping peacefully in his arms. The night before had been better than he thought it would be. He had never felt anything like he had with her. He never felt that connection before. He pulled her closer to him and kissed her cheek as she slept. He felt her move a little.

"Good morning." He said.

"Morning." She smiled.

"I didn't mean to wake you."

"You didn't. Internal clock." She laughed.

"Right." He laughed. "You're okay right?"

"I'm great." She leaned up and kissed him. "This was everything I wanted and more. You made this perfect."

"I'm glad. Sarah, I meant what I said last night. I love you."

"I love you too." She kissed him again. "Now how about we go get some breakfast?"

"Yeah so I need to go next door where my clothes are." He got up and got dressed. "I will be back in a few." He leaned down and kissed her before heading out.

She laid there and smiled after he'd left. She knew she'd made the right decision. And it had been well worth the wait. She got out of bed and walked to the shower to get ready for breakfast, the smile on her face permanent. She thought about Matt and how things would work if she went back to training. And she came to a decision while she was in the shower. It was time for her to retire. Skating wasn't the only thing in life and she wanted to experience what else life had to offer. And she wanted it with Matt.

After she got dressed, she checked her phone and saw she had some messages. One was from her mom, another one from her coach and one from her doctor. She knew the conversation with her parents wouldn't go smoothly but retiring was what she wanted. She had reached every goal a figure skater could have and now she wanted a normal life with normal experiences like she was having in Jamaica. She called her mom and said she was having a great time. The time away was just what she needed. She told her she would be back next week. She called her coach after and told him the same thing. She was going to wait until she got back to Canada before she told them that she wanted to retire. She had just hung up when she heard a knock on the door.

"Ready for breakfast." Matt asked.

"Yes." She smiled and took his hand. She was going to tell him over breakfast about her decision.

They sat down and ordered. Sarah decided to go ahead and tell him. "So, I wanted to talk to you about something."

"Alright." Matt replied.

"I've been thinking about things and my life. And I've decided something."

"Okay." He said a little worried.

"When I get back to Canada, I'm going to announce I'm retiring from skating."

"What?"

"I'm retiring from amateur competition. I have reached every goal a figure skater can do. I'm a multiple Canadian national champion, a multiple world champion and an Olympic gold medalist. That's as far as you can go."

"Is that what you really want?"

"Yes." She smiled.

"Sarah, you aren't basing your decision on last night are you?"

"A little. I mean, last night made me realize I want more in my life."

"Sarah, I do love you but I don't want you to base decision in your life around me."

"What does that mean?"

"I don't want you to plan your life around me."

"Do you think that is what I'm doing? That I just decided after spending the night with you that I want to plan my life around you."

"Well, you didn't want to retire until we spent the night together."

"And you think that I would make this big decision because after waiting for so long, I finally got laid. I have more restraint than that and more respect for my career."

"I didn't mean it like that."

"Oh I see. You finally got what you wanted and now you don't have to pretend anymore. That you want more with me. You really got me and even had your friends play me. Well, you can just drop the act now." She said getting up. "Thanks for a great vacation." She quickly walked away and back to her room.

Matt sat there for a minute. "What the hell just happened?" He asked himself. He got up and headed to her room. He had to fix this. He had to explain that he just didn't want her to make this decision and later regret it and then possibly blame him for it.

He knocked on the door to her room and she answered it with tears in her eyes. "What could you possibly have left to say to me?"

"I didn't mean that the way it sounded downstairs. I...my life is complicated right now. I'm not the best person to rely on and I just want you to make sure that you're making your decision based on what you want and not because of me."

"I've been thinking about retiring for a long time. I have always been so jealous of those girls I'd see out with their boyfriends having normal lives. I want that. The chance to travel and get married and have kids. I want to be able to lay out in the sun all day and not have to be up at the crack of dawn training. I want to be able to eat a pint of ice cream and not worry if my ass is going to be too big to fit into my costume." He laughed a little when she said that. "The point is since I hurt my knee and had to have surgery, I have been thinking about retiring. There is nothing left for me to accomplish in my career. The thing to do now is go pro or coach or use my college degree and get a real job."

"Which do you want to do?" He asked sitting down.

"Use my degree get a real job. I have been skating since I was four. That's twenty-two years of skating and competitions. I'm ready to enjoy life. That is what this vacation has shown me. That there is more to life than skating. I'm ready to experience everything life has to offer." She looked at him. "Matt, I'm not planning my life around you. I just want you to be a part of it and I thought that was what you wanted too." He pulled her to him and smiled.

"I do want you Sarah. I do." He said as he kissed her. "I do want you but I want to make sure that this is really what you want."

"It is." She said as she kissed him back. Soon they were in bed making love again.

Jana and Randy were packed and ready to go. They headed to Matt's room and knocked. When they didn't get an answer, they headed to Sarah's room. They knocked and waited for someone to answer.

"Hey guys." Matt said when he answered.

"Hey, we just wanted to say goodbye." Jana replied.

"Come in." Sarah said walking to the door.

Jana had to smile when she saw Sarah in her robe. She knew exactly what Sarah and Matt were doing. "We just wanted to say it's been a great vacation and we hope to see you again."

"Oh I'm sure you will." Sarah smiled.

Well, have a great rest of your vacation." Jana said as she hugged Sarah and Matt. She knew they probably wanted some time and she and Randy had a plane to catch. "We will see you in the states."

Jana and Randy headed out and caught their plane home. Jana was happy that Matt and Sarah had hit it off and were now seemingly a couple. Matt needed a nice girl and that was Sarah.
