Dr. Kyra Irvine sat in her office getting ready for her next patients. Kyra was the top marriage counselor in Houston. Most of her patients were dealing with an unfaithful spouse and that was something Kyra knew all to well. Her first husband, Adam, had cheated on her for over a year before she found out about it. She divorced him and it wasn't long after she met and married Chris. She looked over the file on the couple she was getting ready to meet with. It was the husband's second marriage and the wife's first. She saw from the file where the husband had been in counseling with his first wife with Chris, who was her partner in the practice. That marriage had ended when he had an affair with his assistant, who is now his wife and nineteen years younger than him. She heard the beep from her assistant.

"Yes, Paige?" She asked her.

"Your four o'clock is here."

"Thank you. Send them in." She replied. She stood up as the door opened. "Mr and Mrs. Helmsley, I'm Dr. Kyra Irvine. Welcome."

"Thanks." Hunter said as they sat on the sofa in the office.

"So, what brings you both here today?" She asked as she sat down and got out her notebook.

"We are here to see if this marriage can be saved." Hunter said to her. "I agreed to work on my marriage because I do love my wife but I'm not sure I can forgive her for cheating on me."

"Alright. Let's stop right there." Kyra said to him. "Your wife cheated on you?"

"Yes, she did."

"Didn't you cheat on your first wife?" Kyra asked him. He looked at her. "It's in your file."

He sighed. "Yes, I cheated on my first wife with Meredith who is now my wife. What does that have to do with anything?"

"I was just making sure I had the facts." She looked at him. "Are you worried that you can't fix it like you couldn't your first marriage?"

"No, of course not. My first marriage couldn't be fix because I didn't love Stephanie anymore. I had fallen out of love with her." He looked at Meredith. "I love you, Mer. I do but you broke my trust."

"I'm sorry." Meredith replied finally saying something. She had been quiet listening to them. "I don't know what else to say than that."

"Meredith, let's talk for a minute." Kyra said to her. She looked at Hunter. "I want to hear Meredith right now." She turned to her. "Meredith, do you want to save your marriage? Are you committed to saving it?"

Meredith looked at her husband and then back to Kyra. "Yes, I want to save my marriage. I love my husband I do." She sighed. "But I can't deny that had feelings and maybe still have some for Seth."

"Then how can you say you want to save our marriage?" Hunter asked her.

"Hold on." Kyra said to him. "Meredith, Hunter. I think we need to start at the beginning to work through this." She looked at them. "I want you both to feel free to speak your mind and feelings in here without repercussions. You have to be honest and open with each other to work on your marriage and save it. I don't want you to say things in here and then go home and arguing or fight about it. Everything said in here is to help you one way or the other. So, whatever you say in here, you can't use against the other one. Do you both agree to that?"

"Yes." Meredith said to her.

"Hunter?" Kyra asked him.

"Yes, I agree."

"Good." Kyra replied. "Now, are you still both living together in the house? Or has one of you moved out?"

"I moved out." Hunter said to her. "After I found out about the affair, I moved out and into a hotel. I haven't found a permanent place because I don't know if my marriage will be saved or if we will end up divorced."

"Alright. I think that's a good idea. You living elsewhere. Now you don't have children right?"

"We don't." Meredith replied. "Not yet anyway."

"Hunter, you and your first wife didn't have children?"

"No, we didn't. Stephanie didn't want any. I did and still do."

"Alright." Kyra replied. "Back to living apart. I think that's a good thing. I always recommend that you live apart and have no intimate contact with each other or anyone else while we are trying to save your marriage. At least for a month. I start slow and then go from there." She looked at them both. "Have you have intimate contact with each other or anyone else recently?"

Hunter looked at her. "We have."

"Alright. That's fine, since you just started therapy. But from now until I say, no intimate contact with each other. Seeing each other outside of therapy is fine but keep everything to a minimal. Most of your contact should be in therapy." She looked at Meredith. "Are you still in contact with the other man?"

"No, I don't have any contact with him."

"Good. If you are determined to save your marriage despite that you might have feelings for the other man, you need to have no contact with him."

"I don't. I want my marriage."

"Good. Then we are all in agreement. And I think that's all for today. Same time next week." They nodded and headed out.

She sighed once they left. She felt they could save their marriage but they were in for a long road. She could see how hurt Hunter was over the affair but she could also see his love for Meredith and her love for him despite her affair. She looked at the time and got everything together to leave. They had been her last patients of the day. She headed over to Chris's office and smiled when she saw her husband behind his desk.

"You look busy." She said walking in.

"Thanks." He smiled and got up and kissed her. "Busy day trying to save marriages. How about you?"

"Same." She smiled. "I wanted to ask your opinion."

"Sure." He said as they sat down.

"I have the Helmsley's as my patients. And I know you saw him for his first marriage."

"I did." He replied. "Hunter didn't want to save that marriage. He was in love with Meredith."

"I know that much." She sighed. "I can't give you more information as why they are seeing me. But do you think they can save their marriage?"

"I do. I don't know what happened to cause stress in that marriage but during his time in therapy, I heard and saw how much loved Meredith. So, I think so."

"Thanks." She smiled. "Now, let's head home and enjoy our night together." He nodded and grabbed his stuff and they headed out.

Hunter walked into the hotel room after taking Meredith home. He wanted the marriage to be saved but it hurt so much when he found out about her and Seth. He never thought when he suggested that she get a personal trainer, it would cause all of this. After they were married, she quit her job as his assistant and enjoyed being a homemaker. But he had a lot of business deals going on and he was working a lot. She had complained about being home all the time so he suggested she go work out at his gym. His trainer, Randy, had suggested Seth for hers. So, Hunter agreed. And now he regretted it so much.

He pour himself a drink and sat down. He couldn't help but think to when he found out about Seth and Meredith. He had finished work early and headed over to the gym to work out. He pulled into the parking lot and saw Meredith's SUV there. He walked in and asked the receptionist where Meredith was. She said she was upstairs in the office with Seth. He figured she was paying him for the sessions or something. He had no idea what he would see when he walked in. He opened the door and was shocked to see his wife on the sofa with Seth.

"What the hell is this?" He asked walking in.

"Hunter?" Meredith said as she stopped what she was doing and reached for her discarded clothes. She lowered her head as she did.

"Well"

"I'm sorry." She said hanging her head as she got dressed.

"Sorry? That's it?" He asked them both. He looked at her and then Seth. "You are a son of bitch." He went after Seth and before either one of them realized, he was beating him. "I should kill you!"

"Hunter!" Meredith yelled. "Please stop!" She yelled at him and finally Randy and another trainer ran in and broke it up.

"Hunter, man. Stop." Randy said to him. He looked at the scene. "Seth, you should go to my office now." He let Hunter go. "Go home Hunter."

He looked at Meredith and then Randy and headed out. If he could have, he would killed Seth for sleeping for his wife.

"How the hell could you do this?" He asked Meredith when they got home that night.

"I'm so sorry." She said apologizing. "I never meant for this happen. I didn't."

"Really? You never meant for this to happen. That's your reason?"

"No." She sighed. "I just...I'm sorry."

"Why? Tell me why?"

She looked at him and sighed. "I was lonely. You were working a lot. Traveling some too. I never though this would happen when you suggested I start working out with a trainer. Then I went to the gym and Randy assigned me to Seth. I couldn't believe it. I didn't know he even worked there."

"Whoa, what?" Hunter asked. "What does that mean?"He looked at her. "Who is Seth to you?"

She sighed. "He's my ex boyfriend. We dated for a few years before I got my job as your assistant. We broke up before I started working with you." She looked at him. "I never thought he would be the trainer for the gym. I never expected to see him again."

"And you think that makes it fine that you're been screwing around on me."

"No, it doesn't" She sighed. "I'm sorry. I don't know what else to say other than I'm sorry. I was lonely and he and I started spending time together when he would train me. We got to talking about our past together and it just happened that first time. Then it just continued. I hated what I was doing. But you were gone or working late. I was so lonely. And I succumbed to temptation"

"Do you want to be with him? If you do, fine. I will divorce you and let you be with him. But you won't get any money out of me. I'm not paying for you and your lover."

"I don't want to be with him. I love you"

"You have a funny way of showing it" He looked at her. "You love me and want to be with me but you've been screwing around behind my back."

"I know." She sighed. "I'm so sorry. But I love you Hunter."

"I'm not sure I believe that." He said walking toward the stairs. "I'm moving out. I'm going to stay at a hotel." He walked upstairs and packed.

She was sitting on the sofa when he came back down. "Please don't leave. I was the one who made the mistake. I should be the one to move out. But I don't want either of us to move out. I want us to work this out."

"I don't know I want that." He walked to the door. "I trusted you, Meredith and you broke that trust. The irony is I left Stephanie for you. And everyone was like oh he won't be able to stay faithful to Meredith since he couldn't to Stephanie. But I wasn't the one who cheated this time. Goodbye, Meredith." He said as he left.

He hadn't had a decent night's sleep since and that had led to the midnight visit to the house. He'd let himself in and heard her crying. He walked up the stairs and walked into the master bedroom. He was shocked when she wasn't there. He followed the sound of the crying and quietly opened the door to the guest room. He saw her lying on the bed facing the window with her back to him. He walked in the room and quietly made his way over to the bed. He laid down behind her and wrapped his arms around her.

"I'm sorry." She said softly through the tears. "So sorry."

He pulled her closer and turned her face to his. He leaned in and kissed her. The kiss turned passionate and it wasn't long before they were making love.

He sat down his drink as he remembered that night. The next morning, he told her that what happened didn't change anything. It didn't fix the fact that she broke his trust. He told her he needed time to think about things and he left.

That was the last time they slept together before agreeing to start therapy. Now he didn't know if the marriage could be saved. The only thing he knew was that he still loved Meredith. More than he had ever loved Stephanie or anyone else.
