"Ok Theresa," Pilar said, "the first thing I need for you to do is take Ivy's coffee up to her."

"You mean the ice queen?" Theresa said giggling.

Pilar bit her lip from laughing and put a stern look on her face.

"Right away!" Theresa said realizing there was no time to joke around. She grabbed the tray and walked out of the kitchen. "It would help a lot of I knew where I was going!" Theresa muttered to herself.

"I think I can help you get to where you need to go." A voice said.

Startled, Theresa nearly dropped the tray.

"Whoa there." the voice said again, then whoever it belonged to came over and helped her steady the tray.

"Thank you." Theresa said. She looked up to see a handsome man with warm brown eyes staring back at her. "I, uh..."

"Are you a new maid here?" he asked making a conversation.

Theresa nodded, "Yes."

"Well uh, let's see what I can tell you about this crazy place. Mother is very demanding so you'll always be on the go with her. Father usually gets drunk at night so I would stay out of his way. Oh and yeah," he said chuckling, "you don't want to go near his bedroom at night because he and his mistress Rebecca play these sick games. Ethan and Gwen don't really need the help of maids that much..."

Everything else that he was saying Theresa didn't hear. She had forgotten all about Ethan. She forgotten that he lived in the house that she was working. She gulped and a sick feeling swept through her stomach when she heard that Ethan and Gwen were still married. "Get a grip." she said to herself. She then focused her attention back on the guy who was talking to her that she had to admit was very cute.

"By the way, I don't think I've introduced myself. I'm Fox." he said extending his hand.

"Hi Fox. I don't think I've heard of you before. You're Julian and Ivy's son?" Theresa asked as she shook his hand.

"Yeah, but they don't seem to really notice me, expecially my mother. She's always off making everything wonderful for her golden child Ethan."

Theresa giggled.

"What's so funny?" Fox asked.

"Now that you mentioned it, Ethan does kind of seem like a golden boy!" she said in between laughs.

"Thank goodness that I'm not the only one who notices that. Everyone always gets mad at me for saying that." he said smiling.

"Well, nice talking to you Fox but I have to get this coffee to your mother." Theresa said starting to walk away.

"Oh yeah, don't want to keep her waiting." he said smiling.

Theresa smiled back and headed up the stairs. She wondered why she had never heard about him before, and he was so cute! She changed her thoughts and knocked on the door to Ivy's room.

"Come in."

Theresa slowly opened the door and walked into her room.

"Theresa?" Ivy exclaimed.

"Hi Mrs. Crane." she replied as she laid the tray down on her bed.

"I thought you ran off with that dreadful DiMetti boy!"

"I did."

"Why are you back then?"

"We got divorced."

"Ohhh. Figures, he didn't seem like a boy who could keep a long term relationship anyway."

Theresa just smiled. She wished she would stop talking about Tony and talk about something else.

"So are you working here now Theresa?"

Theresa nodded.

"Good! I was just about to hire someone to help me around wtih the dinner party I'm throwing tonight. Someone young, beautiful, and here you are! So what are your plans for tonight?" Ivy said rambling on and on.

"Nothing. I was just going to stay at home with my son, but if you need-"

"Son?" Ivy said interrupting her.

"Yes, Tony and I had a son."

"Poor kid. I mean, to have Tony as a father..." Ivy said drifting off. "But anyway, back to my point. Do you think you could help me this evening?"

"Sure, I'm just not sure what I would wear."

"A dress would do."

"Problem. I don't have a dress." Theresa said.

"Don't worry about that! Just come up here tonight at 7 and I'll have a dress waiting for you."

"That's so nice...you don't really have to do that." Theresa said flabbergasted.

Ivy just waved it off like it was nothing. "I won't keep you long, just remember to come up here at 7 sharp!"

"Ok, I will!" Theresa said smiling. She turned around and walked out of the room, she couldn't wait until tonight.

_____________________________________________________________________

Theresa smiled at herself as she looked in the mirror. The dress Ivy had left for her was so beautiful and it fit perfectly. For the first time in a while Theresa let her hair down and the beautiful dark curls adorned her shoulders. She hadn't really dressed up much when she was in New York with Tony. It felt so good to be in a dress again. She then heard a knock on the door and opened it to see Ivy sitting in her chair.

"You look wonderful! I knew that dress would be perfect for you!" Ivy said smiling.

"Thank you Ms. Crane. Expecially for the dress."

"No problem. Now could you come with me downstairs? The party is just about to start."

Theresa nodded and closed the door behind her. Everyone that lived in Harmony was supposed to be there. Everyone that she hadn't seen in such a long time.

________________________________________________________

Fox stood over by a window and drank his punch. He hated these silly parties that his mother threw and that he was forced to come to them. There was no one that lived in Harmony that he could really befriend. Chad was too caught up in Whitney Russell. Ethan was too caught up in Gwen, and why would he want to be friends with his half brother anyway? Everyone else was either too young or too old so Fox just kept to himself. He looked around for his mother, but she was no where in sight. He wondered why she wasn't here yet, after all this was her stupid party. He changed his glance and his eyes settled on a beautiful woman walking in with his mother. She had beautiful long dark brown hair, and the dress she was wearing clung to her curves perfectly. "Wow." he said to himself. He had to see who this woman was. He put his glass down and began to walk their way.

_________________________________________________________

Ethan sighed as he waited for Gwen to make up her mind about what she wanted to eat.

"I don't know if I want some of that salad or if I want a piece of that meat! Are maybe I could have both?" Gwen said trying to decide.

"Why don't you just get both honey." Ethan said. It was quite annoying because she had been trying to make up her mind for a long time.

"Ok! I'll get both." Gwen said.

Ethan smiled. "Finally." he muttered under his breath. He picked up her plate and put down on their table. He was just about to sit down when he noticed a gorgeous woman enter the room beside his mother. He looked a little harder at the woman. She looked really familar. Then it hit him who it was. "That's Theresa." he said whispering. Theresa had a huge crush on him when they were younger but he didn't really return the same feelings for her. He remembered that one day she was there and the next she ran off with Tony DiMetti. Anger filled Ethan at the thought of a DiMetti. DiMetti's and Cranes were rivals and didn't get along at all. It suprised everyone that Theresa ran off with him because she was so innocent and he was so wild.

Gwen glanced over at Ethan and saw that he was deep in thought. "What are you thinking about Ethan?"

Ethan snapped out of his daze, "I think thats Theresa standing next to mother." he replied.

Gwen looked too and said, "Why, that is her!"

"I'm going to go speak to her, be right back." Ethan said getting up from the table and he began to walk towards her.

Theresa looked around as she entered the room. She saw so many familar faces. She saw Kay, Charity, Jessica, Simone, Whitney, Chad, and then a too familar face was walking her way. Ethan.
