Shortly after Theresa left him, Fox was in the dining room eating breakfast. She came down from her room to get a bit of food before leaving for the day.
"Theresa, I wanted to talk to you again. We didn't get to finish our conversation before you left this morning."
"Okay, but I haven't got much time," she said, sitting down beside him.
"I'm not in love with you. I'm not, and I never will be. Theresa, you're great, but not for me. I only like you as a friend."
"Fox, you're wrong. Deep down you love me, and someday you're going to realize it. I can see it in your eyes."
"Can you really? Then look at me now and tell me I'm in love with you." He looked her straight in the eyes.
She looked back at him. Theresa tried with everything she had, but she couldn't see what she wanted. Deep down, she knew Fox didn't love her the way she wanted him to.
"You're right, Fox. You're not in love with me," she said, defeated. "I'll leave you alone now."
He shook his head as she left. He put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a ring brochure. "Well, I've got more important things to worry about now. Theresa will be fine."

"What should I do? Who should I be with?"
"I don't know."
"Simone, you're my best friend! You're supposed to know what I should do!"
"Well, I'm sorry, Kay. This time I don't know. It's not like you can scheme your way out of this situation like you usually do."
Kay glared at Simone. "That's not helping."
"I know! Let's make a pros and cons list! Weigh the good things against the bad. That could help you decide."
"Simone, get real. Remember what happened to Ross when he tried to do that about Rachel and Julie? That didn't help him solve anything."
"Come on, Kay. This isn't a television show. It couldn't hurt. It's not like we'll type up the list."
"Well, I guess we could try."
"That's the spirit!" Simone went over to Kay's desk and pulled out a pen and some paper. "Let's get writing!"
"Okay, let's start with the pros for Miguel. I can think of some."
"Great! I'll write, you just talk."
"Let's start with his eyes, I love how soft and sweet they are. I can see into his soul and I know what a good person he is. And I love his hair, it's so soft."
"Good. Now do a couple for Fox," Simone told Kay once she'd written the first ones down.
"I love his smile. It melts my heart. And I love his hair too. He's got such a wonderful body. He makes me feel so special. He makes me feel like I'm the only person in the world who matters." Kay had a dreamy look on her face as she talked about Fox.
Simone brought her back to reality again. "Now think of some cons for Miguel."
Kay sighed. "It's been a never-ending battle with him. I've always longed for him, and he never returned my feelings until now. But with Fox the empty longing is gone. He fills that void and makes me feel whole."
"Kay, I think you know who you want."
"I think you're right, Simone. I'm going to talk to him right now."
The two girls hugged and Kay went off to find the man she would spend the rest of her life with.
