"I'm sorry I didn't believe you." Ethan says
"No you're not, you're just saying that because you have to. If she didn't say anything to you you'd still think I did it so you're apology is worthless now please let me get to Gwen." Theresa says trying to walk away but Ethan grabs Theresa and pulls into a kiss right as Gwen walks out and sees it her heart shatters at the sight
Theresa instinctively pushes Ethan away and gives his a right hook knocking him to the floor he looks up at her with blood trickling down his lip.
"How dare you kiss me after what you said to your wife." Theresa says angrier than ever Gwen smiles and gives a sigh of relief
"Theresa are you crazy?" Ethan says stumbling to his feet
"I can show you crazy if you kiss me again, your wife is right behind that curtain and us kissing is what started this entire disaster and I overheard you tell Gwen that the reason your daughter is dead is mainly my fault, then you kiss me out of nowhere! What is wrong with you Ethan!" Theresa says as Gwen approaches them, Theresa notices her and Ethan gulps in terror. "Gwen you should be resting." Theresa says putting her arm around her.
"I wanted to know what was keeping you after I asked Ethan to send you in." Gwen says
"I was on my way but Ethan wouldn't-" Theresa says then is interrupted.
"I know you two kissed, I saw." Gwen said
"It wasn't what it looked like." Theresa said frantically
"I know exactly what happened he blindsided you and you punched him I saw the whole thing. Ethan you are a pig." Gwen says
"I'm not a pig I'm grieving." Ethan says desperately
"So in your grief you kiss Theresa against her will because our marriage is through." Gwen say getting louder
"What did you say?" Theresa asks timidly
"I told him that his obligation was done and I would get our marriage annulled." Gwen says as Theresa's eyes widen
"That's right I'm a free man and I choose to be with the woman I truly love Theresa." Ethan says
"That's right Ethan just keep twisting the knife! You hear that Theresa my own husband doesn't truly love me. His vows to love and honor me are completely meaningless. So what happens next is critical. What do you choose Theresa?" Gwen asks hoping this doesn't change the friendship they are starting to form.
"I've loved you for a long time Theresa and I couldn't turn off my feelings for you. I tried but I can't but now there are no obstacles we can finally be together." Ethan almost sounds crazy.
"I am going to follow my heart and listen to what it tells me." Theresa says as Gwen thinks the worst. "Ethan I want you to leave, it's over." Theresa says shocking the three of them
"You want me to leave?" Ethan says almost crying.
"As if my right hook wasn't convincing enough, Yes, I do, it's over Ethan I let my obsession with you hurt everyone in my life. You have strung me along for far too long and I deserve more. Let's take a trip down memory lane, I find out you are a Bennett and keep it to myself because I knew how much you loved being a Crane, I accidentally married Julian when I tried to get him to accept you back, got pregnant by him and you turned your back on me. I thought you killed Julian and took the blame to protect your and got the lethal injection for you only to saved by Alistair. Then you get my hopes up when you accepted that I had another mans baby and we almost got engaged then when you find out Gwen is pregnant you-" Theresa says getting cut off by Gwen
"Marry me out of obligation and don't even let Theresa move on, when her and Fox became friends you did everything you could to keep them apart because your were jealous." Gwen snaps
"I deserve a man who loves me unconditionally not a man who tells me he loves me in secret and makes me a mistress. When you kissed me just now I have to admit that spark I thought was between us is burned out, I don't love you that way anymore. You'll always be in my heart but I don't want you anymore. Now we all need to heal Gwen especially and I am going to help her as much as I can. You and I should cut our losses and say goodbye." Theresa says forcefully
"Theresa, thank you so much. I am so happy to have you in my life and I'm sorry I doubted you." Gwen says as she hugs Theresa.
"Is everything alright over here?" A nurse says as she walks up. "Mrs. Winthrop you should be in bed."
"I'm sorry I just wanted to see my friend Theresa and when she didn't come in I just wanted to make sure she was alright." Gwen says
"Your friend? I thought that she-" the nurse says
"I know what you thought trust me you said how awful I am." Theresa says
"Well I can tell you she is far from awful she is my friend and I am going back to bed. Will you come with me Theresa?" Gwen asks
"Of course." Theresa says helping Gwen to her cubicle
"We're not done yet!" Ethan yells as the both turn
"Yes we are, leave us alone." Gwen says
"You heard her Ethan goodbye." Theresa says as they get back to her cublicle
"We are not finished I will make you mine Theresa if it's the last thing I do!" Ethan says to himself
