A few days later, Sarah and Matt were having dinner on the patio of the hotel restaurant. Sarah was going to ask Matt if he wanted to come to Canada with her when they left Jamaica.

"Matt, I was thinking and I wanted to ask you something."

"What?"

"Well, I was hoping maybe you wanted to come to Canada with me. If you're still on vacation?"

"I'm on vacation for a few more weeks." He wanted to tell her the truth but he just couldn't.

"Great. So did you want to come to Canada with me?"

"Yeah, that'd be great. But before we go, there's something you should know."

"What is it?"

"I'm a terrible flyer." He said. She smiled. He couldn't tell her the truth. He was sure if he did, it would end things between them. And that was something he didn't want. "How will your parents react when you show up with me?"

"I will tell them the truth. That we met here in Jamaica and we went out and that I love you." She smiled. "And then I will tell them that I want to retire. It's just time I took control of my own life."

He smiled and took her hand. "So, what did you want to do today?"

"I was thinking we could go to the beach. Just hang out and spend some time together."

"Sounds great." They spent the rest of the day just being together

The next few days went by quickly and it was soon the end of their vacation. Matt had called Jana and told her that he was going to Canada with Sarah. He also called his parents and told them. He didn't want anyone to worry. They left the island and flew to Atlanta. From Atlanta, they flew Chicago and then to Alberta where she lived and trained. She had called her parents and told them when she was arriving and that she had a surprise.

"Relax, everything will be okay." Sarah said as they were on the flight to Alberta.

"I just don't think your parents are going to be real happy."

"It doesn't matter. I'm an adult. I make my own decisions." She smiled and took his hand.

"So what happens after you announce your retirement?"

"I will probably have a farewell skate and then that will be the end of it. I have to see my doctor and make sure I'm ready to go back on the ice." She smiled. "It's going to be great to get to do everything I never have. Eat fast food and junk food. Go shopping alone. Travel. Get married, have kids. Just be normal."

"I think you're making normal out to be too much." He laughed.

"I don't think so." She smiled before kissing him as the pilot announced their descent into Alberta. She knew her parents would be waiting at the gate for them. Sarah smiled as her parents came into view. They smiled at her but those smiled quickly faded as they looked at their daughter and the man she was holding hands with walking toward them. She walked up and hugged her mother and then her father before she turned to Matt.

"Mom, Dad this is Matt. My boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?" Suzanne Desjarden said shocked. "Sarah, we sent you to Jamaica to rest after surgery. Not meet boys."

"I know but Matt and I met there. We went out and we are together now." Sarah smiled at Matt. "Can't you be happy?"

"Matt, nice to meet you." Jack Desjarden said shaking his hand. He wasn't exactly thrilled about this but he couldn't deny that Sarah looked happy.

"You too sir." Matt said politely.

"Well, let's get your bags and we will head to the house." Suzanne said with a forced smile. She would talk to her daughter about this later.

They were soon on their way to the house in Alberta. They pulled up and Matt looked around the grounds. It really was set up for Sarah's skating. He could see which building was the ice rink.

"I'm going to show Matt the guest room near my room." Sarah said when they entered.

"Sarah, when you're done, let Matt get settled and meet us in the office." Jack said to her.

She nodded and they headed up the stairs. "I don't think they like me very much." Matt said.

"I don't care. I love you and nothing is changing my mind about us. I want this. I want a normal life and I want it with you." She smiled as they got to the guest room. "Well, get settled in and I will go deal with my parents and then I will show you the ice rink."

"Alright." He shut the door once she left. He sighed. He didn't want to cause issues with Sarah and her parents. He picked up his phone and dialed Jana.

Sarah walked into the office and found her parents waiting. "You wanted to talk to me?"

"Yes." Jack said. "Sarah, sit down please." Sarah nodded and sat in the chair near the desk. "Sarah, what's going on?"

"I met Matt in Jamaica. We went out on dates and we fell in love."

"Sarah, you know dating isn't possible while training and competing." Suzanne added.

"Yeah about that. I have made a decision."

"What might that be?"

"I'm going to announce my retirement."

"What? Sarah, you have many skating years ahead of you."

"I might but I have achieved everything a skater can. I'm ready for a real life. A normal life. Dating, eating junk, getting married and kids. I want that and I want it with Matt."

"Sarah, you have only known him for a few weeks."

"So? Everyone says love can happen fast. It did for me." She stood up. "This is what I want and I want you to support me. But even if you don't, I'm still retiring." She walked out and upstairs.

Jana answered the phone. "Nice to know you landed okay. How's it going?"

"It's a nightmare. Her parents hate me."

"How can they hate you? They just met you."

"Oh they hate me and the only thing I have said is hi."

"Talk to Sarah about this. She is the only one who can help."

"I will." He said when he heard a knock. "I'll call you later."

"Bye." Jana said hanging up.

Matt walked over to the door and opened it. "Everything okay?"

"Yes. I just came to get you to show you around." Sarah smiled.

"Great." He took her hand and they headed out.

Jack and Suzanne sat in the office. "We have to find out more him." She said.

"Especially if he's going to be in her life."

"Who says he will be?"

"Suzanne, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking we have enough money to make sure he leaves Sarah and never comes back."

"Suzanne, she's our daughter."

"Who should be focused on skating not anything else? We find out more about him. There has to be something in his background we can use to make sure he goes."
