After proving she was the toughest attorney in all of Pennsylvania, Téa Delgado was offered the opportunity of a lifetime: a position as a district attorney in New York City. After taking, and passing, the bar exam in New York, she accepted. However, it meant leaving Llanview and the love of her life: Todd Manning. Yes, she was madly in love with the man, but the position in New York was something that she wasn't sure would come along again, at least not anytime soon. So, it was goodbye to Todd and Llanview, and the start of a new life in New York.
The district attorney job in New York was a dream come true for Téa, and from what people were saying, she was doing an awesome job at it. However, while she appeared happy on the outside, she was crying on the inside because she could not stop thinking about Todd and had missed him more than she realized she ever could. Sure, the two had been through several periods of being apart, some with more angst than others, but they had come back to each other every time. This time, Téa couldn't help but feel as if she would never see Todd again. Sure, she would have loved to have him living in New York with her, but she couldn't ask him to leave his kids back in Llanview, so the two were separated once again.
One night, she was curled up in her bed and looking at a picture of Todd on her nightstand when tears came into her eyes. She got out of bed, looked out the window at the stars, and said, "I miss you, Todd, more than you probably realize."
After a few moments, she crawled back into bed, tears still in her eyes. Sure, she was living any attorney's dream, but at the same time, she was heartbroken more than words could say. Little did she know that Todd was just as heartbroken back in Llanview.
