Theresa tucked her hair behind her ears as the wind gently breezed past her face.

Paradise View. It had been forever since she had been there. Memories of the time when Fox had taken her there flooded her mind.

"And the bet." she thought to herself as she smiled.

She then saw him sitting with his back to the wall. She knew she would be able to find him here. She slowly made her way over to him and then silently sat down beside him.

"Harmony hasn't changed much." she said softly as she looked down on the town.

"Nope." he replied without shifting his gaze.

Uncomfortable, Theresa fidgeted as she thought of what to say. "Want to tell me why you're angry with me?"

Fox sighed and hesitated before he answered. "I just hate the way you and Gwen treat each other."

"I try..." she began. "I try so hard to be nice..."

"What you said... what you said scared me." he quickly admitted.

"Scared you?" Theresa repeated as she turned to look at him. "Why?"

"You made it seem as if you were going to try to be with Ethan again." Fox confessed.

Theresa quickly shook her head. "That would never happen, Fox. Ethan is in the past and I'm completely over him."

"Remember that time I found you two together?" he asked. "I was so scared that I had lost you to him and that feeling... that feeling I can't even describe. I always thought he was the reason why you left."

"Partly." Theresa answered. "I was confused because he and Gwen were no longer together and he told me he wanted me back and in a way I wanted to start over with him... but I couldn't."

Noticing the way she was making Fox uncomfortable, Theresa turned his face so that she was looking into his eyes. "I couldn't because I had these feelings for you that I was so confused about. I had vowed never to love anyone again and then you came along and I didn't want to give in because I thought I would end up hurt."

"I would never hurt you." he whispered as he took her hand in his.

"And that's what I know now... but then... god Fox, I had been hurt so many times..." Theresa silently began to cry.

"Theresa, when I look at you I see a beautiful strong woman who's captured my heart and I would never hurt you."

"I've captured your heart?" she slightly grinned.

"Yeah." Fox said softly. "You are my heart."

He gently pulled her into a passionate kiss as he ran his fingers through her hair.

"I'm in too deep." Theresa moaned as the kiss ended.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

Theresa smiled through the tears as she looked up at him. She knew that now she could say it. "I love you." she said gently but with assurance.

An emotional Fox pulled Theresa close to him. For hours the two of them sat there in each other's arms, never wanting to let go.
