"Well, I thought about that, but it just felt like we were ready." said Mike.

"You mean, felt like you were ready?" asked Vicky.

"What do you mean?" asked Mike.

"Well, my husband just died, and either way four months really isn't that long." said Vicky.

"I know, I just felt like it was time." said Mike. "I'm sorry."

Mike started to leave.

"Wait, Mike!" said Vicky.

"What?" asked Mike.

"I'm sure we will get married, just not now." said Vicky. "You've got to understand, my husband just died."

"Well, I guess." said Mike.

"When should I try again?" asked Mike.

Vicky started to smile.

"Maybe next year." said Vicky.

"But, for right now, lets just focus on dating." said Vicky.

"Well, ok." said Mike as they started walking to the kitchen again.
