Chapter 37: Decisions
Sara had slipped back to her room, before the others found her. Aunt Judy had shown Warrick to a room. He took Lexie with him, she had fallen asleep in his arms, and he didn't have the energy or the heart to leave her. So the father and daughter fell into a restful sleep. Aunt Judy closed the door and turned to find Sara leaning against her door. She could tell that the young woman had been crying.
"Sara?"
"I told him not to come for me."
"Did you really believe he wouldn't?" Aunt Judy watched Sara try and hold herself together.
"No. I guess not, but I didn't expect him to find me."
"What are you going to do?"
"Sleep. I am still tired," Sara turned to look at her room, then back at Aunt Judy.
"Is there something wrong?"
"I can't sleep."
"Why?"
"He's not with me," she mumbled hoping the older woman hadn't heard her.
But she had, Aunt Judy opened Warrick's door and silently walked away. Sara moved back into her room, before glancing back at the opened door. Quietly she closed her door and laid down on her bed. After twenty minutes of frustrated tossing and turning Sara got back up and made her way to Warrick's room. Sara looked at his sleeping form and she just itched to lay down beside him. Deciding it was best not to Sara turned to leave when something on the night stand caught her eye. The jewelry box. She picked it up, opening it up and gazing at the ring. Sara slipped it on. It was beautiful on her finger. She closed the box back up carefully so as not to wake Lexie and Warrick. Sara then slid into bed finally falling asleep.
