DBThanksgiving: In the car...

[Will Stanton]

"It was just...I didn't expect it at ALL...how can you forgive me so QUICKLY? I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop..."

[Sara Stanton]

"Because in the end there's nothing to forgive. I cried bitter tears, but in the end there was no one left to blame but myself..."

[Will Stanton]

Will just sighed. "I suppose. I really DID let you down, though, and you're letting me off scott free, and I just...I mean, if you're really, really OK with it, I'm gonna stop wondering, but...you know how it is. I've just...I've been afraid, y'know?"

[Sara Stanton]

"I am sad that we lost something special, but I won't let that stand in the way of something bigger."

[Will Stanton]

"Yeah..." Will said, his eyes flitting in the rear-view mirror for a second to a silent Onyx. "I'm...I'm sorry we lost something special too. But, if it can lead to something...MORE special..."

[Sara Stanton]

Sara nods. "I couldn't just throw away our dreams because of that."

[Will Stanton]

"And I nearly did...God, I can't say I'm sorry enough, can I?"

[Sara Stanton]

"You were hurt and she... tried to comfort you. I just want to stop passing the blame around and... well... try to forget about it."

[Will Stanton]

"I'll do my best," he finally smiled. "We'll have to kinda...work our way back to where we were, but I think we're on the right path, yeah?"

[Sara Stanton]

Sara just nods.

[Will Stanton]

"And thank you for comforting me, Onyx," he added, as an afterthought. "No one's mad at you for trying to pick up my spirits, right? That's just what good friends do."
