Home To Love

Once Ethan gets off the plane in Harmony, he wastes no time in hailing a cab, and heading to the Lopez-Fitzgerald household. Once there, he knocks on the door, and is greeted by Pilar.

"Pilar, please tell me that Theresa is here."

"Yes, Ethan, she is, but she does not want to see you."

"Pilar, you don't understand, I have to tell Theresa everything! I have to tell her how much I love her and her alone!"

"Ethan, I know how much you're hurting. But you have to understand that my Theresa is hurting, too. She has loved you for so long, and knowing that she can't be with you is killing her."

"Pilar, that's just it! We can be together! I realized when I was in LA what a sham my marriage to Gwen was. She was having an affair, Pilar. She was going to pass off that baby she is carrying as my own. You know I can't be in a marriage based on lies. Theresa ran off in LA before I had the chance to tell her the truth."

"Yes, Ethan, I know that. But Theresa does not know the truth, as you've said. Just please let her be alone for a while. If you and she are meant to be together, you'll find your way back to one another."

"Alright, Pilar, I'll see what happens."

As Ethan leaves the Lopez-Fitzgerald home, he sits in his car, and takes a picture of Theresa out from the glove compartment.

"Do you even know how much I really love you. Theresa?" He says. Suddenly, a light comes on from the upstairs bedroom, and Ethan notices Theresa staring out at his car.

"Oh, Theresa, what I would give to make you believe that I love you and want you."

(In Theresa's room)

"How can I face Ethan when I know he doesn't want me? He all but admitted he can't be with me. Why is he even here?"

Pilar knocks on Theresa's door. "Come in."

"Hija, you have to see Ethan. It's only right that you hear his side of the story."

"Mama, whose side are you on?"

"Yours, Theresita. But Ethan...he loves you...I can see it in his eyes, hija. Please, just listen to him."

Just as she is about to cave in, Theresa shakes her head. "No, mama, I have to learn to live my life without Ethan Winthrop. I have to." Closing the curtains from the window, Theresa turns around and lies on her bed, and begins to cry.

"God, please let me find my way without Ethan..."
