Michael slowly woke up before dawn, he had quietly gotten out of bed as to not to wake Kalinda. He didn't bother for a shirt, he pulled on a new pair of shorts. Before walking out onto the balcony of the tower looking over the city. He rubbed his eyes wiping the sleep from them, he had had no dreams last night which he was happy for.

He stared out over the city, he thought of all the times he had failed. He sighed, slowly letting his hands rest on the rail of the balcony he had to let go. Still he knew he wasn't ready not yet, the weight was still weighing him down, a few memories flashed through his mind it made him flinch but otherwise he was fine.
