Gilbert hadn't come back, because he was with Callie.

Suddenly, Sherilyn remembered Callie's words...

"If Gilbert isn't serious about you, then I won't hold back."

She really meant it, didn't she?

Annoyed, Sherilyn tossed her phone aside and turned over to sleep.

When the sky began to lighten, she woke up and checked the time - it was 5 AM.

Had Gilbert really not come home all night?

Sherilyn stretched her arms, stood up, and felt her stomach grumble with hunger.

Heading downstairs, she thought of warming up some milk. Hearing some noise at the front door, she wondered... Was the cleaning lady here this early? "Fidelia, is that you?"

Walking over, she realized it wasn't Fidelia, but Gilbert... He had returned.

Their eyes met unexpectedly, Gilbert with a slight smile, not saying a word, shifting his gaze away as he brushed past her shoulder.

"Gilbert." Sherilyn quickly called out to him.

She had been waiting for him to return, there were things that needed to be said, hopefully, they could conclude everything today.
