As Theresa and Noah are walking home they are laughing and reminiscing about old times.
"Do you remember the time that Dylan James was picking on me in 3rd grade at recess and you walked up to him and threatened him and he pushed you down?" Theresa asks
"Oh I remember I was trying to defend your honor and then after he knocked me over you punched him square in the nose. I should have known that you can handle yourself." Noah says fondly
"It was so nice that you tried but it was my pleasure to defend your honor in return." Theresa says locking her arm in his. "So are you seeing anyone?" Theresa asks
"No I am a single. I can't help notice that you and Gwen. I mean my mom, Kay and Jessica have kept me up on all the Harmony dirt, and last I heard you two were on the brink of murdering each other." Noah says
"If you spoke to us a month ago that was definitely true but we've hashed it out got to the root of the problem and decided to become friends." Theresa says
"The root of the problem, I'm guessing Ethan right?" Noah says as there is a figure lurking in the shadows as it goes unnoticed by both Noah and Theresa.
"Did you know Gwen buried her stillborn baby today?" Theresa asks with her head down
Gwen and Fox have decided to walk back home because Fox had been drinking they are smiling and talking.
"Fox it was such a great idea to send the limo home, it's such a beautiful night for a walk." Gwen says
"I figured it would be a good idea" Fox says locking arms with Gwen
"I know I sound like I'm stuck on repeat but thank you so much for coming out tonight it's just what I needed. After the service I didn't think I'd smile again." Gwen says
"I'm happy to help, I can't imagine what you're going through but I am determined to help any way I can." Fox says
"I still am so thankful for having such a support system." Gwen says
"I tried to tell you all along that Theresa is a great person. It was Ethan that was the root of all evil." Fox says
"I know you were right." Gwen says
"I'm sorry can you say that again?" Fox asks amused
"You were right. I just hope that Theresa and Noah get together did you see her face light up when she saw him?" Gwen asks
"I did and I am hoping for the same thing. I am also hoping that you and I may get better acquainted after the annulment goes through." Fox says
"Well I think things will be worked out quickly." Gwen says leaning her head on his shoulder as they approach the Crane mansion.
"Oh my God! I can't imagine what that must be like and she went out tonight?" Noah asks
"I know she asked me to go out after the service and I couldn't say no she's so heartbroken. I do have to tell you I hold some blame in regards to the death of her daughter." Theresa says dejected
"I don't believe that you wouldn't hurt a fly." Noah says
"Dylan James would disagree with you." Theresa says as they share a laugh "But yes my obsession with Ethan went way too far." Theresa says
"Theresa I'm sure it's not your fault." Noah says
"We all hold blame but Ethan blames me for the whole thing. It was then and there I saw the man he truly is." Theresa says as Ethan's face is still hidden but he seething with anger that Theresa and he half-brother are bonding
"Well he is half Bennett and I can tell you first hand we are stubborn men." Noah says
"I've been hurt by him more times than I can count but I always believed fate would bring us together. Little did I know that fate isn't what I thought it was." Theresa says as she puts her head down and Ethan still following in the shadows trips over a garbage can but catches himself and manages to hide before he's seen.
"What was that?" Noah says
"Probably a cat. It's such a nice night thank you for walking with me even though we got lost and took the long way home." Theresa says
"Not lost just lost in conversation, I missed you Theresa." Noah says
"I missed you too." Theresa says as they approach the Crane mansion she looks towards the front door and sees Gwen and Fox. "I don't want to wake the staff let's go around to the back porch." Theresa says
"You got it." Noah says as he looks at Theresa as the moonlight hits her he can't help see her beauty and thinks that she may be the one.
"Well here we are." Fox says as they get to the front door and stare at each other
"It's kind of silly to stand out here we both live here." Gwen says
"I know but it's still a date so it's protocol to walk your date to her front door." Fox says
"Such a gentleman." Gwen says
"I wouldn't say that but in the spirit of the night how's this? I had a great time tonight would it be alright if I called you tomorrow?" Fox asks mocking an awkward first date talk.
"You're cute you know that?" Gwen says smiling from ear to ear
"I do know that, what do you say?" Fox asks
"I say why not. But in all honesty Fox my annulment should be final in the next few weeks then you can ask me on a real date. Is that a deal?" Gwen asks as she holds out her hand
"You have a deal." Fox says as he takes her hand and lifts it and gives her hand a kiss.
"Goodnight Fox." Gwen says
"Goodnight Gwen." Fox says as she goes into the house. "Goodnight indeed." Fox says as he turns to leave and stops in his tracks. "Where am I going I live here?" Fox says as he turns and goes back in the house.
Theresa and Noah reach the back door.
"Well here we are." Noah says
"Yes we are, again thank you for walking me home." Theresa says
"It's the least I could do Theresa, I'm glad I ran into you, it makes my decision to stick around a lot easier." Noah says with a smile
"I'm glad, but I should get going I still am kind of wet from that unexpected shower you gave me." Theresa says
"You bumped into me you know you were dancing around and weren't paying attention." Noah says
"Noah Bennett how dare you. I'll pop you in the nose if I have to." Theresa says with a smile
"I'm just kidding. Well I should get going." Noah says as there is a short silence as they stare into each other's eyes and a phone is heard ringing in the house.
"I hope to see you soon." Theresa says as she turns to go into the house as he spins her around and kisses her, Ethan crouched down behind a tree feels his blood boil watching the woman he loves make out with his half brother
"I've been wanting to do that since we were kids." Noah says
"Better late than never." Theresa says
"How would you like to go out to dinner this Friday night?" Noah asks after
"I would love to." Theresa says
"I'll pick you up here at 6 o'clock, how's that?" Noah asks
"That sounds amazing, I will see you then." Theresa says
"Goodnight Theresa." Noah says giving Theresa one more kiss.
"Goodnight Noah." Theresa says as she turns and goes into the house and Noah leaves and Ethan storms up to the door.
Theresa walks into the living room as the door opens and shuts behind her. She turns and begins to say. "Noah? Ethan? What the hell are you doing? Were you spying on me?" Theresa asks almost yelling
"I couldn't sleep, I had a lot on my mind and I was already outside and just happen to see you and Noah." Ethan says
"So you just decided to watch us secretly? Looming in the shadows?" Theresa asks angrily
"I wasn't looming in the shadows I didn't want to disturb you two." Ethan says
"Like hell Ethan." Gwen's voice comes booming from the foyer
"Great, the two best friends here to gang up on me again." Ethan says
"Save it Ethan." Theresa says
"She's right save it you didn't just happen upon Theresa and Noah. Frank just called and said you left your wallet at the bar. I wonder why you were there." Gwen says
"You followed us?" Theresa asks
"Yes I did. I still couldn't believe you two went out tonight." Ethan says.
"For the last time it's none of your business. Ugh you know what Theresa, I think this conversation is over don't you?" Gwen asks
"It was over before it started. Have a good evening Ethan." Theresa says as her and Gwen turn and leave.
"Oh this is far from over!" Ethan says to himself clenching his fists in anger
Gwen and Theresa get upstairs and go into Gwen's bedroom and she closes the door.
"Tell me everything!" Gwen says giddy
"I don't like to kiss and tell but yes he walked me home we talked about the good ole days and then I saw you and Fox at the front door so I had him walk me to the back door and he kissed me." Theresa says
"He did Oh my God that's so amazing." Gwen says
"It was it felt so right! It was the first time in a long time when a man kissed me and I didn't have to worry about his wife coming in to beat me over the head." Theresa says as they laugh
"I'm so happy for you." Gwen says
"What about you and Fox? You guys looked very um close." Theresa says
"I feel all warm inside when he touches me. I know it's probably so inappropriate giving all that's been going on but he kissed me and I loved every second of it." Gwen says
"Screw inappropriate you deserve to be happy." Theresa says
"Thank you, I just can't wait for this annulment to be finalized." Gwen says
"Soon enough then you can move on and who knows maybe we'll have a double wedding." Theresa says
"Can you imagine the tabloids would have a field day with that one." Gwen
"Well in that case let's put it on the back burner for now. Goodnight Gwen." Theresa says
"Goodnight Theresa and I can't thank you enough for everything, today, tonight you were there for me and I owe you so much." Gwen says hugging Theresa
"Anytime Gwen just say the word and you don't owe me a thing it's my pleasure to help." Theresa says as she turns and walks out bumping straight into Fox who was clearly eavesdropping. "Oh Fox what is it with Ivy's children listening in on other peoples conversations?" Theresa asks as they walk down the hall to Theresa's bedroom door
"Sorry I just wanted to know what Gwen had to say about tonight." Fox says
"You got your answer I think she's falling for you!" Theresa says
"Wait what did you mean about Ivy's children thing?" Fox says
"Ethan was at the pub and he followed me and Noah home and then he gave me and Gwen the third degree about going out. It was nice, Gwen and I got to team up on him for a change." Theresa says
"Well I think it's about time I had a discussion with Ethan." Fox says
"Be my guest he was in the living room last I saw him." Theresa says
"Thanks Theresa but I think I'll wait until morning. Goodnight" Fox says hugging her with one arm
"Goodnight Fox." Theresa says returning the hug and she leaves
"Ethan, it's time you knew the score!" Fox says to himself
