Maria looked up from taking an elderly couple's order to find Michael Guerin staring at her from the cooks window. She quickly looked back to her order pad and pretended she didn't see him. After she finished taking the order she knew she'd have to go place it on the cooks turnstile. As she did she avoided eye contact with Michael at all costs.
"You know you can't not look at me forever." Michael said to Maria with a tone that relayed his annoyance. "I'm not not looking at you." Maria said in a quiet voice. Michael just shook his head and went back to cooking.
Maria bit her lip and went back out to tend to customers. This was killing her. Little did he know, she had been looking at him. All day infact, she couldn't help sneaking little glances at him when he wasn't looking. 'Maria, get a hold of yourself, you're the one that wanted to break up in the first place." Maria scolded herself in her head.
**Flashback**
"I love you Maria." Michael said as he played with a strand of her long blond hair. "For the first time in my life I really mean it, and want to say it."
Maria smiled with tears in her eyes. "I love you too Michael."
"Do you promise you won't leave me like everyone else." He asked in a serious yet quiet voice. He place his hands on either side of her face and stared deep into her eyes.
"I promise Michael. I won't leave." Maria said as she stood on tiptoe and kissed him gently on the corner of his mouth before kissing him hard square on the lips, as if to seal her promise.

Maria stood infront of the counter in a daze. He must feel so betrayed Maria thought desperately. 'I promised not to leave him, and what do I do? I'm just like everyone else in his life, except for Max and Isabelle that is.' Even the thought of Isabelle still brought a slight frown to Maria's face. Even though her and Michael decided not to pursue their destiny. 'What right would I have to be jealous anyway?!' Maria shook her head as if to clear her thoughts, and returned to work.
