Sarah listened carefully to the silly teenager on the other side of the call and smiled. By the way Oni is talking, Sarah knows that Oni is elated by this change and how Michael (aka Jesse) is treating her.
When Oni finished talking, Sarah asked: "Oni, why did you call me?"
"Because I don't know what to do.", Oni admitted. She is happy but that does not mean that she knows what to do about it.
"What is your dilemma?"
Oni sighed. "I… I really like him. And it's more than liking him, you know that. But then he hurt me, and I told myself that I need to stop this crazy thinking that there can be anything between us. And I did my best to stay away. But now he is back, and he is saying nice things, nicer than I ever imagined… and I feel my resolve crumbling. At the same time, I am terrified that if I let him in, I will fall for him more and then when he goes with another woman it will hurt more and… I don't know."
