Holly lay on the beach for two weeks, sipping margaritas and watching the tide go by and children play. She couldn't help but think of the children Michael wanted. It should be so simple. She should be with him and be the mother of his children and they should live happily ever after. But she was a big girl now. She saw that there was no happy ever after, at least not for her.

She knew she should be going back. She couldn't stay in Costa Rica forever. After all, even Toby returned. Life went on. People learned to live with broken hearts. She'd had hers broken before. Going on would be easy. Forgetting him would be hard. Especially when she had to work with him every day. No one said she had to work there. But she refused to lose everything. She was good at what she did and Toby was the one with the problem. If seeing her everyday made him uncomfortable than so be it.

Two days later she walked back in the doors of her workplace. Everyone stared but said nothing. Finally Jim spoke up.

"Hi Holly. Welcome back."

"Thanks Jim. It's good to be back."

Would you like me to tell Michael you're here?"

"Yes please." She stood up, waiting nervosly."

Finally after about five minutes Michael walked out.

"Holly. Good to see you. Always glad to see a member of our family return to our fold.. Well," he said, looking toward the HR direction. "Almost always."

"Michael.."

"I'm sorry. Do you have a minute?"

She nodded. He closed the door and shut the blinds. Finally he spoke.

"Why Holly? Why him?"

"Michael I'm so sorry. The last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt you. You are so wonderful and so kind and so good. You're everything I'm not."

"I could handle it if it were anyone but him. Do you know how much I hate him?"

She nodded.

"Did you do this to hurt me? What did I do to you? Didn't I love you enough?"

Holly began to cry. "Yes Michael. How can I make you see that you didn't do anything wrong? It was me. All me. If I could turn back time and do it all over again I would. I need you to believe that I love you Michael. You were the best thing to ever happen to me. I need you baby. Without you I'm nothing." She looked him in the eyes, tears streaming down her face.

Maybe he was the biggest fool in the world, but he still loved her. There was something about Holly that he just couldn't walk away from.

"Does this mean that you still want to marry me?" Michael asked.

"Are you serious?" she laughed through her tears. "You'll still have me?"

"What kind of husband will I make if I can't love you through better or worse?" he smiled, the kind that always broke and melted her heart at the same time.

"I love you Michael Scott," Holly cried, really meaning it.
