Moving On

As the door to the Crane apartment opens, Theresa looks up with expecting eyes, and sighs when she sees Fox at the door.

"Hey, you, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Fox asks as he comes to Theresa's side and wraps his arm around her shoulders.

"Oh, Fox. I've lost him. I've lost him completely." Fox needed no further explanation as to who "he" was. "That jerk. How could he do this to Theresa?" "Theresa, I am so sorry. Maybe it's for the best, you know? Maybe it's meant to be."

"Fox, it's not! I'm meant to be with Ethan, I just know it deep in my heart! It's just like you and your mystery woman. You know that you can't be with anyone else but her!"

Fox thinks of Whitney Russell, the woman of his heart, and comes back to the present. "You're right, Theresa. I want only the woman of my heart, no one else."

"It's so hard giving up, you know? But I have to do it. I have little Ethan to think about. Makes me wonder why I even named my son after the one man I can never have again. But, what's done is done."

Fox hugs Theresa, trying to comfort her. "You'll make it, Theresa, you have to."

"Thanks for being my friend, Fox."

"Hey, no problem." Theresa kisses his cheek as she goes toward her room.

"Where are you going, Theresa?"

Theresa looks at Fox. "Back to Harmony. Far away from Ethan, where I can slowly begin my life again."

As Theresa packs her stuff in her room, she reflects on the night when she discovered Ethan in her bed.

Feeling someone kiss her cheek softly, Theresa moaned. "Who could be doing this? Only one man has kissed me this way...No, it can't be Ethan...he's in Harmony." As Theresa turns in her bed and opens her eyes, she is stunned to see Ethan's face in front of hers.

"Ethan? What are you doing here?"

"I couldn't stay away, Theresa. It's you. You're the woman I want to be with. Please, be with me."

They share a passionate kiss


Present

"God, I need to get Ethan out of my head. God, why are you doing this to me?!"

Meanwhile, outside the hospital

"God, how could I have been so stupid? Theresa is the only woman in my heart. Why didn't I do the right thing all along and just marry her? I have to get to her, I have to tell her that I want to be with her forever!"
