SARAH TAYLOR'S APARTMENT
Sarah's hopes
are dashed even before she can fully realize them.
"I need to
see Victoria,"
Matt says. "It's been way too long."
"So come over
and see her sometime!" Sarah fires back suddenly. It's not what she would
have said had she been thinking, but it feels strangely good to get a little
rough with him. After all, he's the one who hasn't called.
Matt's response
matches her attitude. "You remember the last time we talked, don't you?
You didn't exactly give me reason to want to see you again."
She stammers
before spitting out, "I didn't say I was proud of what I did!"
"No, but you
weren't sorry about it, either!"
"Matt--"
"I'm not gonna
get into this with you now. I called for a reason -- I wanna see my daughter."
"Oh." Sarah
shifts the phone to her other ear, trying to pull herself away from the
explosion of a few seconds ago. "When? I'm not exactly trying to keep you
from her."
"I know," Matt
says after a pause. Even over the phone line, she can hear him trying to
calm himself. "Could I take her for the next two or three nights? Just
so I can have some time with her?"
"Yeah, I guess.
When do you want to pick her up?"
"How's after
dinner tomorrow?"
Sarah goes
through the motions, consenting as Matt sets up the rest of the plan. He
sounds detached, like he doesn't want to be talking to her. She can't throw
herself into it, either.
The call finishes
up and she turns off the phone. As she sets it back on the table, she feels
something new washing over her.
Or maybe it's
not so new. It's something she now realizes has been bubbling inside of
her for the last few weeks.
The apartment
falls to black as she hits the lights. Head hung, she troops back to the
bedroom, sadness flooding her entire being more powerfully than she has
allowed it to for so long.
