A/N: OK, I got so excited about the ideas in my head that I had to get them down. The work week starts again tomorrow so it would have been next weekend before I got to post again so I just decided to go ahead and give you the next part I wrote. Enjoy!
Sara woke up the next morning to find the house empty. A note for her was on the kitchen counter.
'Hey sweetie. I took the kids to school and will be picking up food for breakfast. See you soon. Love, Edgar.'
'Damn, I wish he loved me the way I love him,' she thought to herself.
Sara went to the computer and ordered her plane ticket home. She would be leaving tomorrow after Edgar took the kids to school at 7:30, her flight would leave at 9:00 and then she would be back to reality. She printed off her ticket, placed it on the kitchen table then headed upstairs to take a shower.
Edgar came home and took the dough-nuts he bought into the kitchen. He looked at the kitchen table and found Sara's plane ticket. 'Damn it. I have got to keep her form getting on that plane. I can't lose another woman I love.'
Sara came down stairs and headed to the kitchen where she found Edgar. "Good morning. Did you get the kids to school alright?"
"Yeah. What's this?" he asked holding up Sara's plane ticket.
"What do you mean, 'what's this?' I told you I was going home Wednesday." Sara took a bite of her dough-nut.
"But I don't want you to go." Edgar sounded sad when her said those words.
"Why don't you want me to leave Edgar? This is twice now that you have said that. Please tell me why." Sara was begging him to tell her and she really wanted him to say that he loved her.
"I…I just…I'll miss you, that's all." Damn it. Why couldn't he tell her that he loved her.
"Well, like I said, I have a life I really have to get back to." Sara opened the refrigerator door. "Hey, what do you want for supper tonight?" She turned around to look at Edgar. "What's wrong?"
He sat at the table with tears in his eyes, "Nothing. I just, I…I need to get out for a while." He quickly stood and left the house. He got in his truck and began driving. He wasn't really paying attention to where he was going until he pulled into the cemetery. He drove straight to Louise's grave, turned off the truck and got out.
"Hi babe. I miss you so damn much." Edgar began to cry. "I really need you to tell me what to do. I have fallen in love again but I need to know if this is alright with you. Please tell me or give me a sign." Edgar looked up at the tree that served as a canopy over the grave. "Do you want me to let Sara go? Just not tell her how I feel?" A bird chirped then shit onto his head.
"Thanks a lot Louise," he stood and walked away laughing.
