Secrets 16

Everything seemed perfect to the outside world for Elizabeth and Michael but Elizabeth realized that things were going a little to fast and she needed some time to think about her life. She loved Michael deeply but she decided that she needed to spend some time away from him for a little while. Elizabeth talked with Michael and this and he was upset because he could not figure out why she needed to get away. Michael believed they had the perfect life.

"Why do you have to leave Lizzy? I don't get it. We love each other and I don't want anyone else but you!"
"I know this is hard to understand Michael but it just hit me that here I am a mom at the age of 23 and engaged. I know it sounds perfect but part of me is confused as maybe we rushed into our life together. I do love you more than anything just let me have some time to think about my life please" begged Elizabeth.
"I don't want you to leave but I understand at needing to figure out your life. I have had lots of things to deal with that make me think about my life too but one thing for sure is that I love you and want you to be my wife when you are ready."
"Thank you for understanding Michael."
"Lizzy are you going to be able to handle being away from James?"
"I am going to take him with me and we are going to stay at my parents house while they are on vacation. I hope you understand and you can get him anytime you wish to ok."
"OK that makes me feel better that you are not really going that far away. And yes I will be coming over to spend time with our son. When are you leaving Lizzy?"
"Tomorrow when you are at practice. That will give me some time to get things organized."
"OK" said Michael and he pulled Elizabeth to him and leaned in for a kiss but Elizabeth pulled back. Michael looked at her confused and then let go of her and walked off. Elizabeth sat down on the floor and leaned her back against the bed and just stared at the wall. She knew things were going to be weird between them but this was what was best for them right now.
