      In the middle of his slumber, Michael would wake with trembling extremities as a girl he longed to be with made a habit of appearing in his sleep.

Isabella was literally the girl of his dreams. So, as he now realized he had the opportunity to have her back, wholeheartedly, he promised her he wouldn't have her stuck in limbo for too long.

But Isabella made sure to warn Michael. "Once I'm yours, you're never getting rid of me again." Even with the biggest smile and cutest giggle, her words were very potent. "I'm never making the stupid mistake of letting you go again."

Isabella told him those words on that first overnight together. She had to fly out to New York the next night after the show, with the rest of her crew, to get a head start on the final preparations of Nik's wedding.

"You've been avoiding me."

Michael rolled his eyes before turning his head towards her. "I'm avoiding the conversation we need to have."

"Why?"

Michael shrugged and was ready to turn back away but Nya spoke again.

"Well, let me help you."

Michael, snickering, looked down to his lap.

"Something went wrong with us and you want to end it. And you want to be with Isabella."

When Michael looked at Nya, there was a hint of anger in the wrinkles of her forehead. "I want to be with Isabella but that's not why I want to end it."

Nya cut her eyes from him.

"You changed on me," he said. "So suddenly...And maybe it's because you felt threatened by my feelings for Isabella and I sincerely apologize for that. But you know it's something I can't help..."
