Thinking Things Through
Closing the door to her bedroom, Theresa sighs, as she reflects on her conversation in the kitchen with Ethan.
Flashback
"Ethan. I want you, and it's no secret you want me. I know the circumstances we're facing right now, and I know the way we can remedy that."
"I'm…I'm not leaving Gwen, Theresa." Ethan mumbles as he feels the defeat running through his body to listen to Theresa.
"I know. Which is
why…why I think we should have an affair…"
End Flashback
"What the heck possessed me to say that? Have I really stooped so low that I would tell Ethan, a man of morals and honor, to go against his vows? God, I love him, I do, but I never wanted to put him in a situation that he would confuse himself with."
Sitting on her bed, Theresa holds a picture of her, Ethan and the kids at the park. Sighing, Theresa runs her finger over the picture. "This should have been us all along. All I ever wanted was a family with you, Ethan, and now, I don't know if I'll ever get that back."
"I moved into the mansion so I could get closer to Jane and you, and yet, it seems my plans didn't work out the way I wanted them to. Having an affair with you…it may be the only way I can be able to show you how much you mean to me..how much I want you…how much I never STOPPED wanting you…God, what am I doing with my life?"
Sighing, Theresa daydreams of what a life with ethan would have been like…
Dream
Having put the kids to bed, Theresa goes to her and ethan's bedroom, and lights some candles. Suddenly, she feels a pair of strong arms wrap around her. Smiling, Theresa tilts her head to the side, letting Ethan kiss her neck freely.
"MM. Hi." His voice whispers over her skin, causing goose bumps to break out.
"Are the kids in bed?" She asks breathlessly.
"Mm-hmm. And now, I will show you just how much you mean to me."
"I thought you did that already?" Theresa says, with a smile to her voice.
"Yes, but you make me insatiable. I can't stand not having you more than once.."
"You're crazy."
Turning her around to face him, Ethan smiles. "yes, I'm crazy about you. I love you, Theresa. And I'm so happy that we're back together."
End Dream
"That should have been our life, Ethan. It should have been. God, I wish I knew what you were thinking…
Hearing a knock at her door, Theresa gets up from her bed, and opens the door to find Ethan on the other side.
"We need to talk."
