"Thank you for meeting me."

Carly whipped around to face Lorenzo. "I don't have much time so you better make this quick."

He stepped forward towards her. "Leave him, Carly. Come to me, I'll give you the world."

Carly sighed deeply and shook her head. "I already have the world. Don't you understand, I have everything I've ever wanted, dreamed of. Giving all that up isn't that simple."

"But you don't love him. I could give you all that too, Carly. I could give you all that and more. You love me, you told me so yourself. Unless, unless that's changed."

Carly took a deep breath. Tears were springing to her eyes. This was getting harder and harder. Fighting to save her marriage was becoming more and more difficult every time Lorenzo pleaded with her. She didn't want to feel the way she did, she honestly didn't. But the point was she did. In the past couple days things were starting to come back to her. She was beginning to reconnect with Michael and Morgan and her mother, but her feelings for Lorenzo weren't subsiding. She knew she loved Sonny, she didn't doubt it, but it just wasn't the same anymore. But at the same time she didn't want to give up so easily either. She didn't want to hurt Sonny. She had no idea what she was going to do, but she knew she couldn't drag this out much longer. It was causing too much pain for everyone involved.

Lorenzo stepped closer and put his hands on her shoulders. "Tell me you're feelings for me haven't changed." There was a pained expression on his face.

Carly closed her eyes, tears slipping onto her cheeks. "No, they haven't changed. I love you, alright. There, I said it."

Lorenzo smiled. "There you go, Carly. What are you waiting for? We can be together."

Carly shook her head, tears sliding down her cheeks. "I can't, I can't do this right now. I have to go." She took off running up the stairs and away from Lorenzo. He rubbed a hand across his face and headed in the other direction.

A figure stepped out from around the corner and dark brown curls shook as they hurried away.
