The man in question had gone off about how early he needed to get back home. He even emphasized the time. Though Sarah had something to do, she was forced to show up on time.

Today was also her cheat day. One day she could be vulnerable and act like a normal human. The day she was allowed to sit by her mother's tomb and speak her heart out.
