Michael jumped like he had been hit with an electric shock. He wasn't sure how he felt about what Sarah had just told him. I on the one hand, he was happy that she had answered the question he had been wondering to himself over the last few weeks but on the other hand, he wasn't sure how long he was going to be keeping her waiting. He didn't feel it was fair to make her wait for him forever. The selfish part of him wanted to see if she would wait for him that long. The justice seeking side of him prayed that she wouldn't. He continued to stare at her while she moved away and settled into her side of the booth.

Sarah gave Michael a brave smile but deep inside she was trembling. She had just told him that she would wait for him until he was ready to move on but she wasn't sure how truthful she had been when she had told him that. Now all she could do was wait for his answer.
