||1 year later||

it's been a year of this bad, tough, toxic marriage.

Elizabeth still loved Michael.

who does Michael love?

"Elizabeth, why are you still here?", Michael asked out of pure interest

"what do you mean", she questioned

"why do you still love me", he said looking into Elizabeth's eyes

"you know that song called 'i don't want to set the world on fire' well there's a line in there that says 'i just wanna be the one you love' because i wanna be the one you love Michael", she replied in true honesty.

Michael stood there in silence, he was confused on how to love.

when he was a child love was a myth.

no one loved him.

but then he met Elizabeth.

||FLASH BACK||

"father what is love?", questioned young Michael

"love.... it's not worth it my son, it's a lie, it's a myth, love means nothing to you ok son?", his father replied

"don't you love mother?", the young boy asked

"no, i hate her. but i had to marry her because me and your mother were betrothed...", the father said  not realising how it would affect the young boy in the future

||PRESENT TIME||

"do you love me Michael", the women asked

"i'm not sure how to love...", he said as he thought out loud

"if you did know how to love would you love me", Elizabeth questioned

"i think so", Michael said as he started to realise he did love Elizabeth "i do love you", he proceeded to say.

"really?", tears formed in Elizabeth's eyes

"yes", Michael said as his heart started to realise he could learn how to love and treat someone.
