you to leave,” said Jane with her arms crossed.
     
    As Sarah left she noticed the family pictures on the mantle piece. Black lines were scribbled over Jed’s face in every photo.
     
    “Well I admit it, I was wrong,” said Sunny. “How did it go in there?”
     
    “Not well, she’s still hurting Sunny.”
     
    “If you changed your mind it’s okay, you’ve helped me more than you could ever imagine.”
     
    “No, I’m fine,” replied Sarah.
     
    As they made their way to the local diner, Sarah noticed that every other person was staring at them.
     
    “Murderer!” shouted a man in the distance.
     
    Sarah turned around in a fit of rage but had no idea where the voice came from.
     
    “Coward!” she shouted back.
     
    “Sarah,” said Sunny calmly. “It’s okay.”
     
    “But, bu-“
     
    “All they know is what they hear on the news or read in the papers. If I was in their shoes I would feel the same.”
     
    Sarah was taken back by how calm he was, how gracious and humble, it wasn’t the Sunny she knew back in high school, he’d grown into a man, a good man. The kind of man she could see herself spending the rest of her life with.
     
    “You don’t deserve this, you deserve more,” she said.
     
    “I’m free Sarah, I can go see a game, eat a burger, watch a movie at home in my underwear. If it means that I gotta put up with a few stares and a few names, I’d take it any day of the week. And best of all, I have you.”
     
    She kissed his cheek and they entered the café. She laughed as they stood in line.
     
    “What’s so funny?” asked Sunny.
     
    “A burger? That’s what you’ve been dreaming of? Trust you to reduce freedom to a lousy burger.”
     
    He laughed.
     
    “Trust me of you spend five years inside a burger is like…god.”
     
    She burst out laughing.
     
    “How can I help you today?” asked the clerk.
     
    “Can I get two cokes, two quarter pounders and two fries?” asked Sarah.
     
    Sunny smiled at her.
     
    They sat opposite each other and Sarah pulled out her phone as they ate. She began to jot down numbers and names as she held it.
     
    “You know it’s rude to use your phone while you eat right?”
     
    She smiled then showed him the video she had recorded in Eddy’s house.
     
    “What is that?” he asked.
     
    “Her phone, it’s every contact in her list.”
     
    “Wow, didn’t you tell me that I shouldn’t break the law?” asked Sunny.
     
    “Yup, but you can bend it,” she replied with a smile. “There was something else. The photo of Jed was scratched out in all the frames.”
     
    “Jed?” asked Sunny with a puzzled look on his face.
     
    “Eddy’s dad.”
     
    He thought for a moment. He still felt confused. What Sarah had said about Jane still hurting from Eddy’s death was still on his mind. It felt like a huge weight had just been dumped on his shoulders. He wished that he could take away her pain and loneliness. That someone could just snap their fingers and bring Eddy back to life. He wanted to visit her, to apologize and tell her he didn’t kill her son, but he knew she wouldn’t believe him. He had to prove his innocence before anything else.
     
    He didn’t realize it but Sarah had been staring at him, as he was lost in thought.
     
    “What ‘ya thinkin?” she asked in a childish voice.
     
    Sunny looked up and saw her munching on a chip. He smiled. He brought his hand close to her face and touched her lip.
     
    “You’ve got a little ketchup there.”
     
    She froze. Her heart was pounding and she went bright red, not because of the chip but because of Sunny. Ever since she met him she knew there was something about him, something more than just looks, although she thought he was good-looking too. It was a kind of inner courage, a calm, strong will. And yet she knew deep down that he was kind and caring. She was falling head over heels for him. She began to imagine kissing him, stroking his hair, exploring his body and
