Samantha was outside sitting on the bench accepting her new perspective. She just had the biggest revelation of her life. She had just learned that her entire team gossiped about her personal life. Samantha thought that this should bother her. However, it was nothing more than a renaissance of aspiration. Finally, this was her chance to let go.

"Hey." Samantha said as Martin walked towards her.

"Hey." He responded, "May I sit down."

"Go ahead." She allowed politely.

"Look, Danny told me about that little mayhem you inclined with Jack." He stated as he sat down.

"Yeah." She said embarrassed.

"But for you it wasn't just a little mayhem. It was just another hard problem you have to face." Just because Martin broke up with Samantha, did not mean he forgot how she feels.

"That's the whole definition." Samantha labeled, "God I don't know why I overreacted like I always do."

"I think I know why." Martin declared, "You know that one night a couple of months ago, when we were going to endure in the fine arts of fornication… Before I broke up with you, do you ever wonder what happened that night?"

"Of course I do. Its drives me crazy sometimes." Samantha questioned

"The night I returned your luggage, was the night when I thought I potentially ended our relationship. But when Jack told me you and Danny were in the car accident, I uh… I was terrified… funny huh, I thought that I hated you. But when you were in the car accident, there must have been some feelings left over because I was scare Sam… The reason why I apologies to you that night was… it was always true that I wanted our relationship to end but I... I guess what I am trying to say is that I didn't want our relationship to end with me hating you. I mean I don't think we were supposed to end like that."

"We're supposed to end our relationships with respect." Samantha assisted.

"And with dignity, and allowing us to stay friends." Martin inclined.

Martin put his arm around her shoulder and she hugged him. It was like a peace treaty between them.

"Good friends." Samantha announced.

This was Samantha's Declaration of Independence with Martin. This for both them, was like signing their treaty. It explained for Sam that it was okay for her to let go. This explained to Martin, that he did not have to feel guilty for dating someone else. This was meant that it was okay for Martin to love someone else.

The first step they took was their break up. The second step, which was this, was allowing them to move on.
