Grieving

Seeing the satisfied smile on Michael's face made Sarah's heart fit to burst. He had done all of this for her because he wanted her to be happy. And boy was she!

"I love you!" she cried before launching herself at him again and kissing him with the intensity of all of her emotions ready to explode out of her. He responded enthusiastically and ran a hand through her hair as he did so.

When they finally came up for air he rested his forehead against hers and replied, "I love you too. Sorry it took a while to figure out what you wanted."

Sarah shook her head. "No, it's my fault for not saying anything. I'm surprised you figured it out at all."

"Well, it wasn't easy. You really do need to be better about talking about your feelings."

This coming from the guy who almost never said anything about his? She supposed it was something they both needed to work on. They had been products of the same environment growing up, after all.
