Sara stood in shock watching as Veronica's car drove into the distance. Now what am I going to do why and the hell would she just leave me here? Sara seethes to herself. Deciding to see if they have a phone in the house she softly knocks on the door when there was no answer she lightly turns the knob opening it slowly and peeking her head inside. "Hello is anyone here!" Sara asked loudly. After waiting a minute and hearing nothing Sara stepped fully into the foyer, her eyes scanning for any kind of movement. Beginning to move lightly she came to a sudden halt abruptly her eyes staring at the scene before her. The most beautiful sight she'd ever encountered was all around her. There were rose's placed in vases several different colors (red, white, yellow and pink) nothing else could be seen in the room but flowers. She then notices that some music was playing softly beginning to move again she shuffles her feet then suddenly something makes a crunching sound she looks down to see what it is.
Looking stunned she's now in the archway of the living room all around her on the floor are origami flowers, there are so many that she couldn't even count they were everywhere just flooding the floor. She moved a little more in the room and it was then that she saw it…a banner that said "Welcome Home Sara".
Finally standing in the living room she moved some more suddenly she glanced down to her feet she saw a plain white note that said "Sara". Bending down she picked it up and opened it reading "Congratulations you finally made it home there are only a few notes left. Go over to the table there is something special waiting for you. –Michael"
"Oh, Michael I can't believe your doing this".
Trying not to ruin any of his creations on the floor she treads lightly so she doesn't crush any of the origami's after some time she made it to the dining room there on the table is a box with a note attached. With shaky hands she carefully removes the note and reads it. "I will be forever yours" Love Michael she recites aloud reading the note tears cascading down her cheeks. Opening the box she peers inside and is rewarded with a beautiful locket nestled against the soft black velvet of the box. Carefully and tenderly picking it up she inspects it and then opens the tiny heart seeing a picture of her and Michael from the day they had fist declared there love to each other. Sara remembered how happy they were that day. Upon closer inspection she noticed the other half of the heart was inscribed. Her heart swelled with love as she read the words that were forever etched into the gold. "You do and will always have my heart" Michael
Closing the necklace she clasped it tightly in her hand she's now determined more then ever to find him. Noticing there are stairs she heads in the direction. Walking up at a quick pace, allowing her fingers to graze the railing taking note of the beautifully polished wood she finally makes it to the top and on the railing notices another note. Picking it up and opening it "Take a left and know that without you there would be nothing left in my heart", Sara couldn't believe all of these words he was saying he had said he didn't want and wasn't ready to get married. Putting the note in her pocket she moved and turned left and began to walk down the lengthy hall way. She stops noticing that there are roses scattered on the floor that leads to a door which appears to have a light shining underneath it. Suddenly everything about the past two days events come rushing to her at once, the things he's doing now the words the scene it didn't make a difference he still said he doesn't want to get married. Thinking for a minute about what lay on the other side of the door. Pulling herself together, she places her hand on the door knob twisting and turning she pushes it open the door hits the back of the wall. There he is looking as handsome as ever, with a huge grin plastered on his face.
"Hi," he says shyly. "I hope you found the room ok".
"Yeah, I read all of the notes. This place is beautiful Michael".
Both of them become silent and this when Sara takes notice of everything in the room the scene is very similar to the living room except to the side there is a small table set for two, candles and a dinner all ready laid out. Looking a little more closely she realizes it's an exact replica of the dinner she made for them last night.
Michael noticing she was looking in the direction of the table he slowly begins to walk closer to her.
"I hope you don't mind that I made dinner for us. I just wanted to do something special for you. I see you found the locket" he nods towards her hand that still has a firm hold on the necklace.
With a sigh, she begins.
"Yes I did it's beautiful thank you but Michael, I believe were not together anymore you made it quite clear that you don't want to marry me. We both want different things out of life so what's going on here what is all this about?
"Sara, I love you so much…how you could ever doubt my love for you is crazy. I do want to marry you I think I knew the moment I first laid eyes on you that you would be the woman I married. I want to explain everything to make you understand all of this. He pulls the chair at the table out ushering her to sit down. I'll explain it all over dinner. He sits down on the opposite side of her and they begin to eat between bites Michael launches into his explanation. Lincoln and I started building this house last year. I wanted to be able to give you everything your dream home a beautiful ring everything you could ever want. So when you asked me about marriage I wasn't ready yet because I hadn't finished the house and I hadn't found the perfect ring. I had to quickly cover so you wouldn't get suspicious but you did get suspicious. My being gone a lot, missing your special dinner and my comments about marriage made you mistakenly think I had found someone new that would never happen. The only person I want loving me, kissing me, caring for me and making love to me is you. I've never wanted anyone but you and I never will. I love you so much please tell me I haven't lost you."
Looking shyly at Michael tears silently slid down Sara cheeks.
"Oh, Michael of course you won't loose me. I love you so much."
Bringing his face down to hers, looking intently into his eyes and moving in closer their lips finally touch in a deep passionate kiss…which is filled with so much meaning. They pull apart and hug each other tightly.
Michael pulls back looking her in the eyes leans forward to peck her lips. I'd like to show you the rest of our house but that can wait. I have something we need to talk about that's very important.
"Ok, go ahead".
Grasping her hand and kissing it he kneels down on one knee, Sara's hands become shaky. Michael then starts to begin what he's been planning for over a year now.
With tears in his eyes and trembling hands he stares into her eyes, "I never thought in my life I'd find anyone as wonderful as you. Not a day goes by that I don't think about how lucky I am to have you as a part of my life and I'm so sorry for all the pain I've caused you over the last couple of weeks".
Tears stream down Sara's face as Michael produced a beautiful ring img width"50" height"50" from the velvet box that he took out of his pocket…he begins to slide the ring on her finger but all of a sudden Sara pulls her hand away.
