Here is the chapter in which Xena's reaction to Gabrielle's poem is revealed, enjoy!
I looked from the notebook up to Gabrielle, "Why are you showing me this now?" "I want to know exactly what these words mean, I wrote them back before you joined us, please help me understand." she pleaded "It seems to me that you deeply desire Xena but you're too scared to sacrifice your friendship and take your romance to the next level, but as I see it, you've got nothing to lose." I said "You're right," she said after a minute of silence, "I'm going to show this to Xena and hope for the best, but just to be on the safe side," Gabrielle pulled a small blue box from her pocket and opened it, a 6-Caret gold diamond ring stared back at me from the safety of the box, "This shall make a great consolation prize if my offer should meet resistance.", "Sounds good Gabrielle, I wish you the best of luck." I replied embracing her. Gabrielle prepared herself mentally as she watched Xena walk through the lobby's doors; this was not going to be easy to do. "So Gabrielle, what did you want to talk to me about?" she asked, Gabrielle took an uneasy breath, "I have a confession to make, I haven't been as truthful to you as I should be," Gabrielle handed Xena the notebook as her eyes scanned the page, "What do you mean?" Xena asked without looking up from the paper.
"When I left to make my choice between you and Prince, I made love to a blond flight attendant named Samantha, I really didn't mean for it to happen; I'm sorry Xena!" Xena stared at Gabrielle with a cold stare; her piercing blue eyes stung Gabrielle's skin like a needle, "How could you do that to me, to us?! I thought that I could trust you with anything I have, but your actions only prove to me that you're disloyal, even looking at you makes me sick!" Xena then pushed Gabrielle against the wall with brute force before storming out of the hotel.
Gabrielle's Log
"What have I done, I've complicated the only loving relationship I've had in years, but it's not like I didn't see this coming, although I didn't mean to sleep with that flight attendant, the news crushed Xena, then again, if she ever tells me something like that, I bet I'll have the same reaction. I could've stopped this, but I'm down to one last breath, I so much want to cry out to Xena for help, but I'm six feet from the edge and getting closer to losing myself with each passing day. I still believe that there is something here for us, my last plea to Xena is hold me now because I'm falling fast. By doing the unthinkable, I've damaged not only our relationship but I'm not sure if Xena will ever speak to me again. I need your help lord, I have nothing going for me now, I'm ashamed for my sins and I'm shackled by them, because of my actions, I've created my own prison and I need your guidance to help myself survive, please bless Xena and Prince, I hope that, in time, Xena will forgive me but I'll understand if she doesn't, thank you for giving me life and thank you for the friends that truly care for me, amen."
