“I hope so too, but it will take time before it does.” 

“Well, you know... time heals everything, right?” Though she didn’t know if she actually believed that.

“Yeah, just not sure how that will turn out though. But I am here to stay.” 

“Well, hopefully things work out for you.”

Mel nodded her head before looking over at her, “ I do. My daughter live here with her father.” She told her.

“Oh, that’s nice.”

“I just felt that it was time to come home. Had to deal with some loose ends and such before returning.” 

“Oh, I see.” Sarah nodded. She didn’t recognise the woman as baby Sarah’s mother, honestly she’d probably seen her like twice in the distance back then and a lot had happened in between then and now, like being kidnapped and... “killed”. “Do you have family here then?”

“I love you.” Harvey smiled over at her, before moving over to her and bending down. Kissing her lips lightly before pulling away some. Moving to the other side of the couch, he lifted her legs up and placed them onto his lap as he sat down. “I uhh–I ran into Melinda…Baby Sarah’s birth mum the other day.”

“Oh god, I honestly have no idea. Maybe three or four years I believe.” 

“Oh, wow... quite a while then.” Sarah gave a slight smile. “How come you came back here?” This town sucked, after all.. to put it lightly.

Noah nodded putting the order in.  “Would you l-like whipped cream on that?”

Sarah smiled and nodded. “Yeah... please... thanks.”
