Sara unlocks her apartment door, walks in, and closes it. Setting her bag and keys down on the table, she sighs. She stands in that spot for what seems a long while and doesn't hear any noises, so she assumes that Michael's not home. After just standing there, she decides maybe a shower will calm her down and relax her a little.

While in the shower, she has little flashbacks of her relationship with Michael. All the stuff they have experienced together runs through her mind, but the one flashback of last night just keeps replaying in her head.

Flashback

After spending the evening by herself, Michael came home. But before he can go into the bedroom, Sara stopped him and said she had something important she had to talk to him about.

"Michael, I would like to talk to you about something".

"Yeah sure. What's up?"

"We've been together for a good couple of years now. So I'm feeling comfortable with asking you this."

"Ok, go ahead."

"I was thinking of what you thought on the subject of marriage...is that something you're ready for? Is it something you would like to do with me?"

"To be honest, Sara, marriage is the last thing on my mind. It's not something I'm ready for at this point in my life. My work life has been really hectic with making partner last year and I guess as of right now I don't have any idea when or if I will ever be ready for that kind of step."

While Michael spoke, she held her head down low so that she could avoid his gaze and he wouldn't be able to see tears running down her cheeks. She turned her head to the side and wiped away the tears before he could see them.

"I see," she finally managed to mutter.

"I'm sorry. This is just the way I feel at this time."

"I understand."

Michael said goodnight and that he was going to take a shower before going to bed.

Sitting on the couch for awhile after he left, Sara replayed "their" talk in her head. She couldn't believe after all this time together he didn't want to get married at all. "What the hell am I doing in this relationship still if he doesn't want the same things I do," she sobbed. "I love him so much but if this isn't going anywhere, what is the point? Maybe Michael and I aren't meant to be together after all."

End Flashback

After getting out of the shower and putting on her pajamas and about to get into bed she gasps at seeing him, shocked that he would go to sleep before saying something to her. He hadn't said one word, maybe saying hi or tell her he was home, but he had said nothing.

Crawling into the bed, she couldn't help but start to cry...she felt so lonely even with him just mere inches from her. She decided then that things needed to change between them and soon she just couldn't take any more of this. Her heart was just shattering. "Tomorrow," she decided, "I'm going to tell him. I'm going to make dinner for him tomorrow night and then I'm going to tell him how I feel. In the end if he doesn't want to be in this relationship anymore then at least I'll know and somehow try and move on without him in my life."
