Was randomly thinking about that episode in season 2 where Sandy goes with the boys to Miami leaving Kirsten to cook for Carter (obviously not a high point the in the Kandy relationship). I just wondered what would have happened if Kirsten had gone.
'Sandy I really can't go, the m..'
'Magazine I know', he knew that was going to be her excuse. That's all she did anymore, she was never home always working with Carter. He didn't really believe anything was going on but then again nothing had been going right since the whole Rebecca situation. He still felt bad about it and maybe this was payback.
She saw the disappointed wash look over his eyes. She was still sub-consciously mad at him and the fact that she was in some way ditching him to spend time with Carter almost pleased her. What goes around comes around right? He did something then though that she didn't expect. Over the past couple of weeks there relationship had come to a standstill, there was no touchy feel stuff, she couldn't remember when last she had heard Seth yell out in disgust. He grabbed her and pulled her towards him, placing his hands on the sides of face and looked deeply into her eyes.
'Kirsten, I would really love if you come. I need you to come'. He was begging her, their marriage was being tested and they were on slippery ice at the moment – both knew it. It had been such a long time since he had looked at her like that, like he wanted her. She almost felt like bursting into tears. Over the past few months she had tried to convince herself that she didn't need anyone to survive but this reminder of how wonderful Sandy made her feel brought back all those memories of the wonderful times they'd had together. How had they let things get so bad? They barely spoke much anymore, she missed all the little things, what surprised her most was all previous thoughts of leaving Carter left her mind.
'Ok I'II come' and she placed her arms around his neck. She immediately saw his face brighten up and he pulled her close.
'Really?' he was so surprised. Their noses were almost touching and the air felt electric. Both revealed in this simple closeness, each realising how much they had missed the other.
'On condition'
'anything?'
'You have to come shopping with me, you don't leave me on my own with your mother and …'
'yeah'
'I think we should spend some quality time together' she said this quietly almost admitting that they we're having problems 'Just you and me ok?'
'Baby you're wish is my command' and with that he kissed her gently, both feeling that spark that had been missing for quite sometime. But maybe there was hope ….
Shall I continue to Miami or leave it at that?
