Allison Stevens' Apartment – Morning
Allison walked back and forth from her closet to her suitcase, packing all her belongings. Her eyes flashed to a picture of her daughter Alexis, which hidden in the back of her daughter. Tears soon appeared and smeared her mascara. It had been less than a year since her daughter fell victim to the revenge of Jeremy Wendell and Tony Orlando against the Ewings. Although both insidious men were now six feet under, nothing would ever heal the pain of her only child's death.
A faint knock came to the door followed by a familiar voice. "Allison, are you there? It's Ray."
Closing her eyes in frustration, she yelled out, "What in the hell do you want?"
"I know how you feel about me now, but could you, please, just open the door?"
"Why should I?"
"Please… just for a minute to explain things-"
"Explain what, that you plan to continue to live in a fake marriage with Jenna Wade and not with the woman you really love? I don't need to hear another word about it!"
Ray realized that nothing was going to work, so he simply responded, "I'll always love you, Allison, with all my heart, but I already made a commitment to my wife and stepchildren. It's not something I can just walk away from."
Once Ray had finally left, Allison thought about the positive pregnancy she had taken – the main reason she was leaving Dallas.
