Returning to My True Love

Beginning to get his life back on track, Ethan makes his way to his desk, and looks down at his calendar.

"Today marks the day I first made love to Theresa. We would have been married by now. God, it's amazing how much my life has changed. Now, I feel stronger in my love for Theresa. I just hope I can prove that to her."

Taking a deep breath, Ethan takes the phone, and dials the familiar number in his mind.

"Hello?"

Hearing her voice brings a flood of memories to his mind, taking a deep breath, Ethan sighs. "Hello, Theresa."

"Ethan. What do you want?"

"We need to talk. Can we meet at the park? Please?"

"We have nothing to talk about, Ethan."

"Theresa, yes we do. I know what today is, and I need to see you."

Theresa sighs, "Fine. I'll be at the park in 10 minutes."

"Thank you, Theresa. See you soon."

Hanging up the phone, Ethan looks at Theresa's picture again. "My true love. We will be together again, I just know it."

Theresa's house

As Theresa gets dressed, she thinks to herself "God, Ethan, what are you doing to me now?"

Park

Walking around the park, Theresa looks, and doesn't find Ethan anywhere. "Don't even tell me this was a setup.."

"It wasn't." a voice suddenly says. Turning around, Theresa gasps as she stares into Ethan's beautiful blue eyes.

"You scared me."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

"It's fine. So, what did you want to see me about?"

Taking a deep breath, Ethan moves closer to Theresa. "Happy Anniversary." He whispers softly, hearing her breath pitch.

"You shouldn't be saying that to me now, you're married."

"I still remember, Theresa. A love like ours is not meant to be forgotten."

"A love like ours? Why are you talking in the present? We're through, Ethan, remember? You chose Gwen over me."

"I know. And now I realize what an asshole I was to have been so stupid not to have seen what has been in front of me all this time. It should have been us, Theresa. I realize that now. I've been such an idiot. I want you back in my life, I want to be with you."

"Hello, you're married to Gwen, you can't be with me."

Sighing, Ethan bows his head. "I'm getting a divorce, Theresa." He mumbles.

"What did you just say?"

Looking up into her mocha eyes, Ethan tentatively holds her hand. "I said I'm divorcing Gwen. I found out something tonight that made me realize exactly what I was doing wrong in my life. Theresa, it was Gwen. Gwen and Rebecca were the ones that sent the tabloid information out."

Gasping, Theresa looks at Ethan. "How can you be so sure?"

"Because I received an envelope today from the tabloid office with all the evidence. When Gwen saw it, she took a fit, and then outright admitted what she did. Theresa, you have to believe me. I never suspected you did it. I always knew you were set up. I just never expected that the person to have set you up was Gwen. Can you ever forgive me?"

Stunned, Theresa stares at Ethan. Taking a deep breath, she begins, "You've always forgiven me for everything I've done to you. It's only fair that I forgive you too."

Hugging her, Ethan becomes intoxicated by her sweet scent. "I never stopped loving you, Theresa." He whispers in her ear.

Sighing, Theresa pulls back slowly. "What are you asking me to do, Ethan?"
