Bridget stood outside on the balcony overlooking the parking lot as she thought about her talk with Ted. She couldn't believe he'd kissed her again. She needed to talk to Traci about it. She walked back into the apartment as she saw John's car pull up and Traci get out of the passenger side. She walked out and met Traci as she came off the elevator and grabbed her keys out of her purse.

"So how was dinner?" Bridget said with an amused smile on her face.

"Dinner was...uh...good."

"Did you kiss that man?" Bridget asked as she followed Traci into her apartment.

"No. He kissed me." Traci said. Bridget smiled and sat down on the couch looking at her expectantly. "What?"

"So? How was it?"

"Very, very nice." She said as she got herself some water out of the fridge. "How was your meeting with Ted?"

"Good. Nothing happened." Traci looked at her friend.

"Alright, out with it."

"We kissed at the office. And then he came here and told me that he and his wife are having martial issues and he kissed me again when he left."

"Oh My God."

"Yep. I honestly am not sure what to do." Bridget sighed. "I know I have feelings for him and I know they are probably wrong. He's married. He made a commitment to his wife."

"But they aren't happy?"

"No, they aren't." Bridget said. "And then I have Cody's words in my head. He knows Ted better than anyone."

"Bridget, do you want to have something with him despite things?"

"I honestly don't know."

"Maybe you should just let things go like they should. You never know."

"Yeah maybe. I know I really like him and it would be perfect if he wasn't married."

"I'm attracted to my client. How am I supposed to be professional when I can't help but want to throw him down?"

"Ooooh, really now? This is a different Traci than the one who was so adamantly denying her attraction to him the other day."

"He cooked. He made homemade Tiramisu. He's not worried about material bullshit."

"What harm could it do? He's single, you're single..." Bridget said. Traci looked at her.

"My advice, let the chips fall where they may with Ted. If it's meant to be, it will be."

"Yeah, you're right." Bridget smiled. "Same with John."

"Well, it's late. I'm heading to my place. See you in the morning." Traci said hugging her friend and walking out.

The next morning they both headed into work. Each wondering what the day would bring. Traci had a meeting with John while Bridget and Ted were meeting Jay. Cody was out of town so it was just Ted and Bridget. Ted was shocked when his dad called him into his office early that morning. He figured it was about the case not about his marriage.

"You wanted to see me dad?" Ted said walking in.

"Yes, sit please." Ted Sr. said to him. Ted Sr. sighed and shut the door. "I'm worried about you son."

"Worried about me?" Ted asked.

"Is everything okay with you and Eve?" Ted shook his head.

"I recently found out she's been cheating on me with at least two different men."

"That can be a difficult thing."

"I don't know what to do. I don't know if I should confront her or try and make it work."

"Do you love her?"

"I honestly don't know. I...I'm attracted to someone else."

"Bridget?"

"How did you know that?" Ted was shocked his dad paid attention.

"I just know." Ted Sr. sighed. "Ted, you are married. That's a commitment you made. You have to honor that."

"Eve isn't."

"That's Eve. I think if you talk to her about things, you can work them out." He sat down at his desk. "Son, I don't want you to make a mistake. With your wife is where you should be. Bridget isn't anything to you but a colleague. Make sure you remember that. You must honor your wedding vows."

Ted knew his dad wouldn't understand about his kisses with Bridget and he couldn't tell him about who Eve was sleeping with.

"I will think about things." Ted said getting up.

"Do I need to get rid of Bridget to make things easier for you?"

"No, that's not necessary."

"Alright."

Ted left his father's office and headed to his. He needed to make sure everything was ready for the meeting. The trial was starting in a few days and they needed to be prepared.

Traci sat in the conference room waiting for John to show up. She was a little nervous considering the fact that they'd kissed less than 24 hours before. She smiled when she saw him approaching with Mike and Chris. The other two partners, Jack Swagger and Drew McIntyre would be in on this meeting as well. Drew looked over at her and smirked a little sending a shiver down her spine. There was something about the Scotsman she just didn't like.

"Traci, these are John's partner in the business, Jack Swagger and Drew McIntyre."

"Nice to meet you." She said to them.

"You as well." Jack replied as they all sat at the conference table.

"Alright. We have the environmental organization's report. They want comparison from the damage to the water and the surrounding area." Mike said to them.

"We didn't do anything wrong. Why do we have to pay them anything?" Drew asked.

"It's the principle. You all claim that you knew nothing about the dumping of waste but everything points to someone in your company knowing something."

"We all double check everything and we all sign off on it. If something was wrong, we'd have caught it." Jack said.

"Personally, it would be better to just pay for the cleanup. Dragging this into a long legal battle would put tremendous financial strain on the business." Mike said.

"We didn't do anything wrong. " John said.

"So you want to continue with this legal battle?" Chris asked.

"Yes. I want to prove to everyone that we didn't do anything." John added.

"Alright." Mike said. "Let's talk strategy."

The reminder of the meeting, they talked about what to expect in court and how to proceed.

In the other conference room, Ted and Bridget were going over the case with Jay and his wife. The trial was starting the next day and they wanted to be ready.

"Okay, the prosecutor will try to trip you up on the stand. His job is to prove that you killed Brie and Nikki."

"What are the chances he won't be found guilty?" Beth asked.

"The evidence is strong but I feel confident we will win but you need to be prepared for the other possibility." Ted replied.

"Alright." Jay said looking at Bridget.

"I think that's everything." Ted said seeing Jay checking Bridget out again. "You can leave."

"Alright." Beth said taking her husband's hand and heading out.

Bridget began to clean up the files that were on the table. "I'm sorry about him." Ted said to her.

"Oh it's okay." She replied to him.

"No, it's not." He walked over to her. "He shouldn't be checking you out at all."

Bridget turned to face him. He leaned closer to kiss her when the door opened. He quickly pulled away and looked up to see who it was.

"Sorry to interrupt...but uh...Traci, Chris and I are going out to lunch. You guys wanna come?"

"Yeah, just let me get my purse." Bridget said as she quickly walked out of the room. Ted looked over at Mike.

"This wasn't..."

"Hey, it's none of my business. I didn't see anything. Now, let's go have lunch and forget about work for an hour."

Ted nodded and they walked out to meet up with everyone else. It was getting harder for him to control his action around Bridget. He wanted her. He wanted her more than he thought was possible.
