Returning to Love
Ethan was lying in his bed, when suddenly, he felt this calm come over him.
"What is going on with me?"
"I must be losing it, I need to go back to sleep."
Once in a deep sleep, Ethan does not hear his apartment door open. Theresa has returned home to Harmony. She has not seen her family, or friends yet. She immediately took a cab to Ethan's place. Remembering where he leaves a spare key, Theresa takes the key from under the rug, and lets herself into his apartment.
"Home. I'm finally home." Theresa says to herself as she goes toward Ethan's bedroom.
Walking carefully, so not to wake him, Theresa sits on Ethan's bed, and watches him sleep.
"My love. How I've missed you." Theresa says softly, as she kisses Ethan's cheek.
Feeling a breath near his ear, Ethan opens his eyes slowly, and looks over, finding Theresa sitting on his bed.
"Theresa? Am I dreaming?" He asks hoarsely, clearing his throat."
"No, my love. I'm real. I'm here."
More fully awake, Ethan rubs his eyes, making sure that they are not playing tricks on him. Still seeing Theresa on his bed, he looks in amazement.
"Oh, God. You're alive?!"
"I'm alive, Ethan. I'm here, with you."
Ethan gets out of bed, and takes Theresa into his arms. "How can..how can it be? We were told you were in a horrible accident?"
"I was, Ethan. When I woke up, I was at Castleton Hospital. I couldn't remember anything, or anyone."
"Oh, baby, I am so sorry. If only I was with you.."
Theresa sighs, debating if she should mention Fox. "Ethan, I'm going to tell you something, but I don't want you to be upset."
"Tell me, baby."
"Well, when I was in Castleton, I met someone. His name was Fox Crane."
"My half brother....I can't believe it! We never knew where he wandered off to.."
"Well, I can tell you he is alive, and well. HE took care of me while I was recuperating, and trying to get my memory back. He was very gentle and caring toward me. I started falling in love with him, but something always held me back from really going any further with him."
Ethan listens intently, as Theresa bares all to him. "After I got my memory back, I knew that you were the only man in my heart. I told this to Fox, who also told me he couldn't love anyone else because his heart also belonged to a woman he could never have. We realized our love was that of a best friend, and nothing more. I'm so sorry I betrayed you, Ethan. Please say you'll forgive me."
"Oh, baby. There's nothing to forgive. I'm glad you met Fox, and that he took care of you. I'm not going to be mad at what you did when you lost your memory, because you had no idea of what was going on. I am just so glad you have come back to me. Your family will be so happy to have you back home.
"Home. I'm really home."
"Yes, baby, you are. I love you, so much, Theresa. Promise me you'll never leave me again."
"I promise, Ethan. I love you, always."
The reunited couple shares a kiss, and hold each other tight.
