Kyra sat in her office looking over some patient files. She and Chris had spent the weekend out of town and it was a wonderful trip. She liked how they did little things like that and showed each other how much they loved each other. It was one of the things that made their marriage work.

"You shouldn't think so hard." She heard from the door. She looked up and was shocked to see Adam standing there.

"Adam?" She said when she saw him. "What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you. Can't I come and see my ex wife?" He smiled and walked in.

"Well, seeing as I haven't seen you since our divorce hearing, I'm shocked to see you." She sighed and closed the file she was reading. "What do you want Adam?"

He walked in and sat down in front of her. "I wanted to come and tell you I made a mistake. I'm sorry Kyra. I hate that I cheated with Alicia. But I was weak and I just couldn't resist her."

Kyra looked at him. "That's your apology? It needs work." She sighed. "Look Adam, I have moved on from you and our marriage. I'm happy. I'm married to the greatest guy and we have a wonderful life together. I wouldn't change that for anything." She looked at him. "You should go. We have nothing left to say to each other."

"Kyra, come on. We were together for a long time. Can't you give us another chance? I know you can't love him like you loved me."

"You're right. I don't love him like I loved you. I love him more." She looked at Adam. "Adam, we are done and we have no chance of being anything else other than exs. So, leave."

He stood up and looked at her. "I know you still love me." He didn't say more as he walked out.

She sighed when he did. She knew he had a reason for coming there to talk to her and she bet it meant that he and Alicia were done and he wanted someone to take care of him. But that wasn't going to be her. She was married to Chris and happy.

She heard footsteps and looked up to see Hunter and Meredith. "Ready for your session?"

"Yes." Meredith replied.

"We're ready." Hunter replied.

"Alright. Please sit down." She took her seat as they sat on the sofa. "Alright. Last time we talked about how you met and you agreed to have dinner with each other each week. How did the dinner go?"

Hunter looked at Meredith. "It went fine."

Kyra looked at him. "Fine? What does that mean?"

"Meredith and I were talking and I know I hurt her feelings."

"How?"

"I asked her if she was sitting at home or doing charity work or something." He replied. "I know it sounded like I was saying it was bad that she was doing that while I was working and supporting us both. But I didn't mean it like that."

"Alright." She turned to Meredith. "How did it make you feel, Meredith?"

"I was hurt." She said honestly. "I feel bad that he's supporting me while we are separated."

"Alright. What happened next?"

"I apologized and told her that I don't mind the way things are. I want to pay the bills for the house and support her while I'm living in a hotel."

Kyra looked at him. "Is there more?"

He sighed. "I told her that I feel if she gets a job and can support herself, it says that we can't work our marriage out and that divorce is where we are headed. And that's not what I want."

"Alright. Well that's good." Kyra looked at Meredith. "How do you feel about that?"

"I see his point. I want to work this marriage out. I don't want to divorce." She sighed. "I know it's all my fault. And I hate myself for it. I hate what I have done to my marriage, and to my husband."

"Meredith, Hunter, you both took a good step in starting counseling." She replied. "Now, let's talk about your marriage. Hunter, you divorced your first wife for Meredith. Why did you want to get married for a second time?"

He looked at Meredith. "Because I loved Meredith and I still love her. I knew I wanted to spend my life with her. I know it was wrong to cheat on Stephanie with her. And I hate that I did that. But I don't regret being with Meredith. I knew I wanted to be with her forever and I wanted to marry her."

Kyra nodded. "Meredith, how did you feel when Hunter asked you to marry him?"

"I was excited because I loved him and I still love him. I never asked him to leave Stephanie for me while they were married. When the affair started, I knew what I was getting into. I knew there was a possibility that he would never leave her. And if I wanted to be with him, then I would have to get use to being the other woman forever. And I was okay with that."

"You didn't have any sense of regret or bitterness?"

"No." Meredith replied. "I knew exactly what I was getting into when I started my relationship with him. I can't say that Stephanie was my favorite person, because she wasn't. And I hated that he went home to her every night but I didn't regret it and maybe I did have some bitterness but I knew exactly what was what in the relationship."

"Alright." Kyra replied. She looked at Hunter. "How did you feel going home to Stephanie every night knowing you were in love with Meredith?"

"It was hard to do it." He said openly. "At first, it was easy because I thought it was just an affair and Stephanie and I had drifted apart but we would find our way back to each other." He sighed. "But after a few weeks, it changed and I fell in love with Meredith. And it made it harder to go home to Stephanie and pretend I was happy with her and that she was what I wanted. And eventually it all came out."

Kyra nodded and made some notes. "Alright. We are up to your wedding. What was that like?" She wanted to take them through the good time they had together before the affair.

"It was a simple ceremony. We both knew everyone would say it wasn't going to work." Meredith replied. "So, we decided to go to city hall and just do it. And I think that was the right way to get married."

She nodded and looked at Hunter. "Do you agree?"

"I do for the most part. Going to city hall just was the right thing to do. But I hate that Meredith didn't get the wedding every little girl dreams of."

"Do you feel that way, Meredith? Do you regret that you didn't get that wedding?"

"No, I don't." She looked at Hunter. "I love our wedding and it was special because I was marrying the man I love and the man I wanted to spend my life with. I didn't care about the wedding. I just wanted to marry you."

Kyra looked at them. "Alright. That's progress today." She replied. "We're up to your wedding. How were things after it?"

"They were good." Hunter replied. "Meredith left the company because it was a conflict for her to be my assistant. And I wanted her to be home. I figured we would have a baby before long. Because I knew Meredith wanted one just like I did."

"Did you Meredith?"

"Yes, I did. I wanted to be a mom."

"Alright. So, things were good. What happened?"

Meredith sighed. "We didn't get pregnant soon like I hoped. Hunter was working a lot. I felt lonely. But I was doing some charity work. But I still felt alone. So, that's when Hunter suggested that I join the gym and start working out with a trainer. So, I did." She replied. "Randy, who is Hunter's trainer, suggested Seth as my trainer. And I didn't know it was my ex."

Kyra wrote down some things and then looked at Hunter. "Did you know she was lonely?"

He sighed. "I never realized. I was so busy with work that I didn't notice her loneliness. I wish I had, then this probably wouldn't have happened." He looked at Meredith. "I'm sorry I didn't realize."

"It's not your fault." She replied. "All of this is my fault. And I'm so sorry. I know that's all I have said since you found out. But I don't know what else to say."

"Alright. Let's stop there for now. Next session I want to go into the affair." She looked at them. "Did either of you write in the notebook since our last session?"

"I did." Meredith replied. She took out the notebook and handed it to Kyra.

Kyra quickly read over Meredith's thoughts. "Are you okay with Hunter reading your thoughts?" Meredith looked at her and then nodded. "Alright." She handed the notebook to him read. "I want you to read it but not say anything yet. Just read it and see what thoughts come into your head and then I want you to write them down and we will discuss it next session."

"Okay." He said as he took it. He read the words inside and then closed the notebook.

"Do you have some thoughts?"

"I do."

"Good. Then we will end there for today and you two can go out to dinner but no talking about what we talked about." They both nodded and headed out.

She sighed once they had. The thoughts Meredith had were strong and it was right for Hunter to read them. She could see how much they loved each other but coming back from an affair was not something that was easy to deal with. But the fact that they had strong emotions for each other and about what happened, meant they had a chance and she hoped she could help them.
