Hannah knew once they walked out the doors of the restaurant, she'd go back to being the woman she had been forced to create, she'd go back to loving her two kids; not that she didn't love them, she just wanted a break from being a mother.

She didn't want to leave her restaurant but as the time dwindled on, they were the last two left.

Hannah didn't want the silence to linger but she couldn't find the words to say please don't leave.

Channing felt his hand drop back to his side as hewatched Hannah walk away
