What Have I Done?

Once Gwen and Ethan arrive at the Crane Mansion, Ethan quickly runs away to his bedroom, and locks the door.

"Home at last. Yet, why doesn't this feel like my home? I feel like I'm in a mausoleum. No one talks, only Rebecca has reign, like this is a palace. God, what have I done with my life?"

Sitting on the bed, Ethan pulls out a picture of Theresa from his wallet. "Theresa. I loved you so much, and yet, we always seemed to have hurt come our way. Our love was tested and tested, and yet I always managed to do the wrong thing. I picked Gwen because she was pregnant, yet my heart was pulling toward you. I stayed with you when our daughter was kidnapped, yet I went back to Gwen when we found her.

I told you I loved you at the compound, and yet, you couldn't hear me. Why couldn't I have just told you that when your face was against mine? I felt your breath…the breath I longed for to flow against mine…I felt your heart beat in tune with mine….and yet…I let you go."

Sighing, Ethan lies down, holding Theresa's picture close to his heart. "You're all I ever wanted, Theresa….all I ever wanted…" Closing his eyes, Ethan begins to dream…

Ethan's dream

As the waves crashed along the rocks, the smiling face of the woman whose hand he held took his breath away.

"Theresa, you're so beautiful."

"You make me feel beautiful, Ethan."

Stopping in their walk, Ethan took Theresa into his arms, and turned her around to watch the magnificent sunset.

"It's beautiful." Theresa sighs as she holds Ethan's arms close to her chest.

"You're beautiful." Ethan whispers, placing his lips on Theresa's soft cheek. "I love you, Theresa."

"And I love you, Ethan. Always and forever." Theresa says as she turns to meet Ethan's lips against her own.

End Dream

Waking with a start, Ethan shakes his head as he tries to get his bearings. Looking next to him, he starts to smile thinking Theresa is lying in his bed, when the blonde locks make him sigh.

"Gwen. It was just a dream." Ethan whispers, turning to his side. "God, what am I doing? I made my choice, but why is my heart telling me something else?"
