Michael took Callie's hands in his and kissed them.
" I don't think this is what you want right now," Michael told her," It's all this talk about Lincoln and Sara."
Callie got up.
" How do you know what I want or what I don't Michael?" Callie asked.
" I know you better then you think," Michael answered," Don't feel like you have to."
Callie crossed her arms and shook her head.
" So you don't want to?" Callie asked.
Michael got up.
" Let's not start a fight here," Michael told her," I don't want to fight with you."
" Then don't fight it Michael," Callie said," Do you want to make love to me?"
Michael again took her hands in his.
" Not like this," Michael told her.
Callie sat down and put her head in her hands.
" I sometimes wonder why you're with me," Callie said," You could've been with Sara. When Sara was cleared of her charges, she was happy. When she heard about Lincoln, words couldn't be found. Sara knew then she had to find you and tell you. You told her you might end up in Panama."
Michael sat down as Callie continued to ramble.
" When Sara went missing, I knew something had to be done," Callie said," I still think that she might love you. Maybe that's why she lashing out."
Michael looked at her.
" Maybe," Michael told her," Callie, I want you to be sure. I can make it the way you want it. You told me you wanted it to be perfect."
" I do," Callie said.
Michael put his arms around her.
" Be honest with me," Michael said," Are you scared of losing me?"
Callie looked at him and nodded her head.
" Why?" Michael asked her," I love you and first of all, you're my best friend. Callie, I wouldn't ever leave you. You'll never be alone."
Callie had tears in her eyes.
" I love you too," Callie told him," Are you tired of hearing that?"
Michael ended up laughing.
" Say it all you want," Michael told her," I love hearing it. You want to go for a walk on the pier or would you rather go for a drive?"
" Either one sounds wonderful," Callie told him," As long as I'm with you."
About 30 minutes later, Callie and Michael were still out walking.
" Fresh air," Callie said," This feels great."
Michael took her hand in his.
" I had a good idea," Michael said," There's no need to rush Callie. I'm not going anywhere."
Callie looked at him and smiled.
" I guess not," Callie said," So what about your idea to make it perfect?"
" I'm working on it," Michael told her," Until then relax."
They continued to walk until then came up to an ice cream stand.
" You want some ice cream?" Michael asked.
" When don't I want ice cream?" Callie asked.
" When you're not hungry," Michael answered.
Callie laughed and Michael got her a container of vanilla ice cream.
" I thank you," Callie said," So does my stomach."
" You're welcome my love," Michael said," Shall I take you back home?"
Callie shook her head.
" Not yet," Callie said," I'm enjoying this."
Michael nodded his head, so was he. Callie sat down on a bench and looked at the clear sky.
" So many stars," Callie said," So clear and bright."
Michael sat down and put and arm around her.
" The simple things in life," Michael told her," The only thing I would wish for is to be off probation so I could take you away from here."
Callie looked at him.
" You seem to be adjusting," Callie said," You're new job is going well and you're keeping up with everything else. Could it be possible?"
" What?" Michael asked.
" To fall even more in love with you," Callie asked.
Michael ended up kissing her and didn't let up on it. Callie then stopped it.
" You see how good this feels?" Callie asked.
" So many questions," Michael said," Could you be any more beautiful?"
Callie got up.
" I'm ready to go back home now," Callie said," It's getting chilly out here."
Michael got up and put his arms around her.
" Then I guess I need to keep you warm," Michael told her," You still up for it?"
Callie just grinned.
