Chapter 8

Michael was happy being with Sara and was looking forward to the futrue they were going to build together. After he and Sara had made love. Michael drifted into a dream, but it wasn't about Sara, it was Stephanie. They were back at his loft enjoying the fireworks. Michael looked at Stephanie and all she did was smile at him. Michael ended up kissing her, Stephanie accepted it and they ended up inside. Michael then ended up waking up and looked at Sara, who was sleeping beside him. Michael got up and went to the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror. Before he went to prison, Stephanie did mean a great deal to him, even though they were only friends. Now, he was going to marry Sara, the woman he now loved more then anything. So why was he dreaming about being with Stephanie.

The next afternoon, Michael met up with Lincoln. Lincoln knew that Michael saw Stephanie recently, he saw her too.

" I know you saw Steph, I was there," Lincoln told him," What else is wrong?"

" After I asked Sara to marry me," Michael said," I thought about being with Stephanie. I even dreamed about being with Stephanie."

Lincoln looked at his brother, surprised by what he said.

" Wait," Lincoln said," Back up, what did you just say?"

" I dreamed about being with Stephanie," Michael said again.

" Before that," Lincoln said.

" I asked Sara to marry me," Michael answered," Linc, Sara accepted."

Lincoln ended up laughing.

" Why are yuou laughing?" Michael asked.

" Are you sure that's what you want?" Lincoln asked.

" I know I love Sara Linc," Michael told him.

Lincoln nodded his head.

" Great news," Lincoln said," But it seems to me you've developed new feelings for Stephanie," I know she's with Nick, but Michael you raved about her at times."

" Stephanie is a good friend," Michael said," One I need. I happy that Stephanie is with someone. Nick is great for her and he treats her right. At least that's what Stephanie tells me."

Lincoln and Michael walked on.

" So what about this dream?" Lincoln asked," You did bring it up."

" Forget it," Michael said.

Lincoln then knew what it might be.

" You and Stephanie," Lincoln said," Something deep."

" It was about the past," Michael said," Before Fox River, before I met Sara. We were at the loft and I kiss Stephanie, we end up..."

" I get it," Lincoln told him," I don't need to hear all the details," So how do you feel about Stephanie?"

Michael sighed.

" I care about her," Michael answered," I always will. I have to get back to work. Thanks for listening Linc."

Lincoln watched as Michael walked away.

" I think you feel something more," Lincoln thought to himself.
