A Blessing in Disguise Ch. 2

As the blurry image of the young man standing before her became clear, she realized that it was the man who was always there for her. As she looked at his face, she could tell that he was concerned for her. He wiped the tears off of Theresa's face with his strong, masculine hands.

"Theresa, what's wrong. Did Ethan do or say something to you?" said the young, concerned man. 'Why do you always allow him to hurt you like this?'

"Oh Fox! Ethan has chosen Gwen once and for all. He told me that he loves her and wants me to move on with my life, but how can I do that when my life is finally over! All my hopes and dreams are crumbling before my eyes and there is nothing that I can do to stop it," sobbed Theresa.

Fox embraced his good friend in a hug. He didn't know what to say to her. Theresa snuggled her head on Fox's chest while Fox puts his chin on top of her head. "What am I going to do now that Ethan is out of my life?" questioned Theresa.

"I wish I know what to tell you to make all this pain disappear, but I don't. He is no good for you honey. Haven't I always told you that? He was lucky that he has even met you, let alone captivated your heart. Try to keep your mind off of things."

"How am I going to do that when everywhere I go and everything I do will remind me of Ethan and his love for his wife?" asked Theresa.

"I'm going to take you on a trip far away from Harmony. Let's go right now. We don't even need to pack because I'll buy us some clothes when we get there. How does that sound?" Fox asked as he waited for an answer.

"I rather be anywhere, but here right now. Let me first phone Mama," Theresa managed to say between her sobs.

"Great! I'm going to make some phone calls for our trip," said Fox.

Theresa tried to shake the memory out of her mind. Taking one last glimpse of the sky, she turned and entered the beach house. It was a beautiful, cozy house. She was grateful that Fox took the initiative to take her mind off her problems. 'I wonder where Fox is?'

"Fox, where are you?" shouted Theresa as she walked toward one of the bedrooms.

"I'm in here."

'I wonder what he's up to?' Theresa walked towards the direction of his voice. She stopped dead in her tracks as she was just about to enter the room. She couldn't believe her eyes.
