The next night Allie stood in her bedroom getting ready. Carlie was staying the night with Brianne and Phil had no idea she was going to dinner with Bobby. She felt it was best to not tell him. She had just finished getting ready when the doorbell rang. She took a breath and walked to the front door and opened it to her husband standing there looking as handsome as he did on their first date so long ago.

"Ready to go?"

"Yes." She said grabbing her purse and shutting the door. She took his hand as they walked toward his car.

"I thought we would go to Cappadora's." He said as he opened the passenger door for her. He knew that was her favorite place.

"I love Cappadora's as you know." She smiled. He smiled back and headed around to the other side. They were soon on their way to the restaurant.

They were shown to a table and soon ordered dinner. "I was surprised you called." He said.

"Well, I know we have some things to talk about and I figured this would be a good time." She smiled as the waiter brought the wine and their salads. "I'm just glad you were free and didn't have plans."

"Nothing is more important to me than you and Carlie."

"That's good to know." She smiled. "So, I heard from the lawyer that we start counseling in two days."

"Yeah. Mine told me that too." He replied before taking a bite of his salad. "Allie, I think counseling will be good for us. I know we can save this marriage."

"Is that what you want? What you truly want?" She said looking at him. She hoped for an honest answer from him.

"I do. I want our marriage." He looked at her. "I'm sorry about everything with Alexa. It was a mistake and I regret it so much."

"Then why are you still sleeping with her?" She asked him. "And why did you move in with her instead of getting your own place immediately after we separated."

"I'm not sleeping with her anymore. That stopped a week ago." He said to her. He knew he could have told her it had been weeks but he didn't want to lie to her. "I moved in with her because it seemed like you didn't want this marriage anymore."

She sighed. "You could have move anywhere but you chose to live with her."

"I regret that. I shouldn't have moved in with her but at the time, you seemed pretty sure that you didn't want me or our marriage anymore. I mean, you filed for divorce soon after everything."

"Because I was mad at you not because I stopped loving you." She said as their dinner arrived. Once the waiter had walked away, she continued. "I had just walked in on you in bed with her. In OUR bed. Do you know how much that hurt? To see you with her like that. In our home. The home we made together with our child. I was so mad and hurt. And I thought filing for divorce was the best thing despite how much I still love you."

"Do you still feel like that? That divorce is the best thing?"

"I honestly don't know. I still love you. But you hurt me so badly."

"I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get you back. To get us back. I love you Allie." He said as he took her hand in his. "I do love you."

"I love you too." She replied. "I think this marriage counseling we have to go to will be good for us. It's what we have to do and I think what we need to do. We have things to work out."

"Alright." He replied as they went back to their meal. The fact that she still loved him gave him hope. And now that he was living alone and had ended things with Alexa, it was the right steps to getting his marriage back.

After dinner, they headed back to her house. He walked her up to the door. "So, is Carlie in there with a babysitter?" Part of him hoped she was so he could see her. Another part hoped she wasn't and maybe he and Allie could have some alone time in the house.

"Actually Brianne and Chris have her." She said as she put the key in the door and unlocked it. "Did you...did you want to come in?" She asked.

"If you want me to."

"God, why does this feel like the awkward end of a first date?"

He laughed and leaned in to her. "Because it is kind of like a first date." He moved in closer and kissed her. He smiled into the kiss when she kissed him back. He moved his hand to open the door behind her and pulled away. "Let's take this inside."

They headed in and she put her purse down on the table by the door. She turned to face him. He walked over to her and kissed her again. She wrapped her arms around his neck as she kissed him back and deepened the kiss. She felt him lift her up and sit her on the table by the front door. He pulled back to look at her and she smiled up at him. "Why'd you stop?"

"Because I want to make sure this is something you want. I don't want to do this and then tomorrow you write it off as a weak moment."

She smiled and leaned to kiss him. "That isn't what this is." She pulled him closer to her. "I want this and it isn't a weak moment."

He kissed her again and she barely had time to react when he picked up her and carried her to the bedroom. Once they got there, he quickly unzipped her dress and it fell to the floor. As they kissed, she helped him unbutton his shirt and it joined her dress on the floor. He gently laid her back on the bed and covered her with his body. He kissed her lips and then moved to her neck. He gently kissed his way down her body. He removed her black lace bra and panties and continued kissing his way down.

Alison moaned as he continued to please her. It felt like the first time they were together. This was never the problem in their marriage. Their sex life was always amazing.

Bobby felt like his whole body was on fire. He'd been dying to do this again. To be with her in such an intimate way. And he never thought he'd have the chance. He smiled against her skin as her body writhed beneath his. He damn sure wasn't going to waste it.

He pulled away long enough to finish getting undressed. Once he was, he joined her back on the bed. He kissed her and entered her at the same time. Alison moaned as he started to thrust in and out of her. She held onto his back as the passion between them started to rise. He increased his pace as he felt himself getting closer to the edge and he knew she was too. He kissed her as the passion finally erupted between them and she felt him empty himself inside her as they came together.

He collapsed on top of her as they both laid there catching their breathes. He lifted his head and kissed her passionately before pulling out and moving to lie beside her. Alison moved to rest her head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat. Like she always did after they had made love. She had missed this over the last few months that they were separated. The feeling of making love to him. As she laid there with her husband, she wondered could they really get back to them? Could they work through things? She knew in her heart that she loved him more than anything and she wanted to at least try. But could they?
