Sarah heard a voice in the hall outside and hoped that it just would pass by. But she heard the door opening.
"Miss, Miss," she heard a polite voice say.
"Yes?" Sarah asked in a gorgy tone.
"I have your breakfast for you. I hope you are hungry."
Sarah opened her eyes. Near her bed stood a goblin girl, young by the looks of it. Although,Sarah probably would not be a good judge on goblins' ages. She was holding a tray filled with pancakes, cinnamon toast, and juice. "Looks good," Sarah said realizing she had quite an appetite.
While she ate Sarah began to second guess herself, "Why did you come here? You know you can't stay. You have goals.What about your dream of becoming a world famous actress? Sure it might have gone sour after so many years of failing but still. Still you put your faith in another man. What makes you think you love Jareth? You thought you loved Than and look what happened! Oh, you are so foolish!"
Jareth sat in his office waiting for the morning report. He heard a knock on the door. Expecting it to be just one of his goblin secretaries there to give him the news he simply said, "Come in and report."
"Report?" Sarah asked while standing in the door way, "Report on what?"
Jareth smiled and got out of his chair, "Um… report on how well you slept last night."
"Very well, thank you. Jareth I need to speak with you."
He crossed to the front of his desk and slightly leaned back on it, "I thought that's what we were doing?" Jareth mocked.
"Really Jareth, please," Sarah said.
"Alright you have my attention," Jareth said as he took hold of one of Sarah's hands.
Sarah turned away from him, "I don't think I can stay," She quickly turned back around but didn't look at his face, "Before you say anything, it is not because of something you did. It's because of things that have happened in the past. I want this. I do. But I can't trust it yet."
"I understand Sarah."
"I still want to see you," Sarah placed her hand on his cheek, "I just…I just…I don't know."
"Sarah no worries, I understand. Do you want me to send you back now or later?"
"I wanted to see Hoggle, Sir Didymus, and Ludo. But I think now would be a better time if I want to find a job."
"I can give you some money," Jareth suggested.
"No," Sarah said quickly, "No, I can do it on my own."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Remember I am only one call away."
"I know Jareth."
"See you soon Sarah."
"Good bye."
Jareth waved his hand and she was gone. He sat down in his chair to think. "She's only protecting herself. She is thinking of somebody else, that one that hurt her. But I will make up for the love she's been denying she could ever feel. I'll just have to work hard to restore her faith. That is if I can," Jareth came out of his deep thought when he heard a knock on the door. "Come in and report," he said.
Sarah spent the whole day looking for a job, with no luck. "I can't put any of my most recent jobs on my resume because if called they will just say I was fired for always being late. That doesn't help me. It also doesn't help that because of that I can't provide any recent employment. I'm screwed!"
She walked into her bedroom, placed her purse on the floor, and took off her coat. She kept thinking of what Jareth told her last night out in the dark. It echoed through her mind all day, "I would never lie to you. I would go to the ends of the earth for you. I would do anything to make you happy and make your dreams come true, too make you feel my love."
"Don't believe it," Sarah kept telling herself, "Than use to say almost the exact same thing. Look how that turned out. No, it is best to learn to hate him now."
Sarah changed into her pajamas, got into bed, and turned the lights off.
Jareth looked at her through his crystal. He wanted to shower her with words, telling her how much he loved her. But she would just turn away and not listen. He didn't want to rush her into anything. He just wanted to let her know that he was innocent. Innocent of any crime she thought he would commit in the future. But he knew she would come to terms with that in her own time. Jareth took one last look at her beautiful sleeping body, and then the crystal disappeared.
