Sarah sat in Tim's living room, a bowl of cereal in her hands as she watched cartoons. Her father's bedroom door was locked. Why? Sarah didn't know. So she had snooped through the kitchen and found Rice Krispies. Down the hallway in Tim's room...
...Calleigh woke up and smiled, seeing Tim asleep next to her. He moaned slightly and rolled over so he was facing Calleigh completely. Her smile widened and she scooted closer to him, running a hand through his hair. Tim opened his eyes halfway and gave her a sleepy smile.
"Hi." he mumbled. "Usually I'm awake first."
"Things change." Calleigh said.
"Not everything." Tim pulled her closer to him and she kissed him softly. "Do you think Jake is still in the parking lot?"
Calleigh laughed and shook her head.
"I think he got bored and went to some bar. Our date didn't go very well." she said.
"Really?"
"He dumped a bottle of Chardonnay down my dress."
Tim glanced over in the corner of his room, where the little black number lay in a heap.
"You may have to get rid of that you know. It's... in a bad state." he smirked.
"So is your shirt." Calleigh added. "It got a little ripped and missing a few buttons."
"I liked that shirt too." Tim rolled them over so he was on top and started kissing Calleigh.
"What about Sarah?"
"I'm sure she's still asleep." Tim mumbled. "Besides the door is locked."
"That doesn't stop from letting the whole apartment complex hear you yelling my name." Calleigh teased.
"Why do you have to always..."
"Put you down?"
"Yes."
"Because it's fun."
---------S/C---------
Sarah jumped off the couch when the phone rang and she grabbed it.
"Hello?"
"Who's this?"
"Who's this?" Sarah countered.
"This is Maria. Who's this?"
"Sarah."
"Is Tim there?"
"His door's locked."
"Can you call to him?"
"I dunno. Mickey and Donald are on."
"Please?"
Sarah sighed and raced down the hall.
"Daddy?"
"Cal..."
"Tim, stop."
Sarah raced back down the hallway.
"He's busy."
"With what?"
"My mom." and Sarah hung up. She sat, watching TV when Tim's cell phone started ringing. She grabbed that and answered.
"Hello?"
"Is this Sarah again?"
"Is this Maria again?"
"I need to talk to Tim."
"He's busy though."
"Fine. Tell him to call me back because it's about the wedding."
"Okay."
--------S/C--------
A while later, Tim and Calleigh appeared in the living room, looking a bit frazzled.
"What are you doing up?" Calleigh asked, kissing the top of Sarah's head.
"Watchin' cartoons." she replied. "Daddy, some lady called."
"Who?"
"Maria."
Tim visibly paled about ten shades.
"W-What did she say?"
"She said to call you back because it's about the wedding. Who's wedding are you going to?"
Calleigh turned around and looked at Tim.
"You know..."
"Cal,"
"I don't want to hear it." she said.
"Can I just..."
"No. Sarah, come on."
"But..."
"Sarah, I said come on." Calleigh said. "Get your stuff."
"Calleigh," Tim started. Sarah disappeared down the hallway. "Listen,"
"No. You listen." Calleigh felt tears forming in her eyes and she glared at Tim. "When you left, you hurt me bad. Then I came here last night after that date and I realized that I couldn't let you go because I love you. You told me when I moved here that you never stopped loving me."
"I do..."
"No. You don't if you're obviously marrying some other woman. Last night you made me think that we were back together and we could pretend that the past few years haven't happened and we could be a family but we can't."
"Will you just let me explain?"
"No. I don't need any explanations." Calleigh said. "Sarah!"
"I'm coming." she appeared at her mother's side and Calleigh grabbed her hand, then left. Tim grabbed the phone and dialed Maria's number.
"Hey."
"Hi. What's going on?"
"Who's Sarah?"
"Um..."
"Why did she say you were busy with her mom?"
"Sarah's the girl next door." Tim lied. "Calleigh needed something fixed. So... the wedding, what's up with that?"
