Michael started to think about Maria. He remembered when he borrowed her car that one time when he was on his mission to Marathon, TX. That night in the nookie hotel is where he first started having feelings for Maria. He remembered when Maria was telling him about her dad and the sad look on his face. Michael remembered shifting in his seat, kind of a way to lean in closer to her but not have her notice. He knew that she never did notice the intense look on his face while she was talking. Michael also knew then that he couldn't let anyone in and that's what was happeneing with Maria, so he pretended to be more tired than he really was.

Michael remembered back to the first time he and Maria kissed. It had been so easy, so why was it so hard now? Michael had told her that it was to calm her down, but really it was something that he had wanted to do since the night before.

Then, Michael started to remember back to when the Heat Wave had hit Roswell. The heat wave is what really got him. That was when him and Maria were at their closest, physically.
