Chapter 1:

Theresa Winthrop stood in her deluxe mansion located in New England. She stared out the window crossing her arms. Ethan was at work, and Theresa was bored. Most days were like this. She complained to her husband, but he just said to go shopping or go out for lunch. As great as that life would sound, Theresa hated it. She wanted someone to talk to, and keep her company. There were no maids to talk to, as Theresa and Ethan decided not to hire any.

"Maybe I should get a job." Theresa thought out loud. "No, Ethan will be furious." Theresa sighed. "What to do? Go shopping again? No, I did that yesterday, and last week."

Theresa went through to the living area and brought out some old photo albums, both the Crane album, and Lopez-Fitzgerald albums. She started going through the Crane album and came across a picture of the deceased Fox Crane, Ethan's half-brother. Theresa was devastated the day Fox died

Theresa and Fox were standing at the airport. Fox was going on a business trip to Paris, and Theresa was with him waiting for his flight to be called. Finally the moment arrived. "Flight 193 to Paris on France Airways, could passengers please come to gate 3 for boarding." the voice over said.

"Well, this is it." Theresa said sighing.

"Don't worry, I'll be back in 1 week. You won't have to be without me for too long." Fox said grinning.

Theresa gave a little laugh and looked up at Fox. "I'll miss you." she said.

"Aww, I'll miss you too Resa. Come give me a hug." he said opening his arms. Theresa ran into him and gave him a tight hug not wanting to let go. She and Fox had been a couple for 2 months now, and she had never been happier. Theresa finally let go of Fox and gave him a passionate kiss. For some strange reason, she was treasuring this moment. "He'll be back in a week." thought Theresa. "Why am I acting so... weird?" She had a horrible feeling about Fox leaving.

Theresa looked back at Fox's picture. She was ready to burst into tears. Even though the accident was 5 years ago she still couldn't forget or get over the heartache she went through. So much had happened since Fox's death. She and Ethan got back together, and got married. Then Alistair retired as head of Crane Industries, Julian got the job and then promoted Ethan. There was one thing Theresa and Ethan desperately wanted but could not get- a baby. They had been trying for years now, but no luck. They went to the doctor, but tests proved nothing was wrong with either of them.

"I'll see you in a week Resa." Fox said picking up his bags. Theresa hugged Fox once more.

"I love you sweetie." she said to him. She finally tore herself away from Fox, and gave a nervous smile.

"Hey, I love you too, and I always will." he said. He gave Theresa a kiss on the cheek and vanished out the door. Theresa was starting to get a horrible vibe about Fox.

"Oh God, please let this feeling be nothing." she said worried. She paced up and down the room nervously and watched as Fox's flight left the gate 20 minutes later. As Fox's flight was moving Theresa's vibe became stronger and stronger. She was going red. "I'm probably just not feeling well." she said. As Fox's flight slowly reached the runway it went faster. Theresa watched closely. The speeding plane kept on going faster and faster. Theresa watched horrified, as she saw a flame on the wing of the plane. "Oh My God! The plane's on fire!" she screamed so staff would coming running. A staff member approached her and also watched horrified.

"Oh My Lord, that thing is going to blow!" she yelled. "Right, everyone out this room immediately!" she yelled. "Come on mam, we need to get you to safety." she said to Theresa.

"No, my boyfriend's on that plane." Theresa said her eyes not leaving the plane, which was on fire. Suddenly there was a big bang. The plane had exploded with Fox on board! "FOX!" Theresa screamed at the top of her lungs.

Theresa turned the page of the photo album, another picture of Fox. He was dressed in a formal suit, grinning at the camera. Theresa felt a tear form in her eye. Suddenly she was stopped by a bang at the door. Ethan had arrived home. "Hello Theresa." he said.

Theresa quickly shut the photo album and turned to Ethan smiling. "Hi Ethan." she said getting up and taking of his coat. "Nice day?" she asked.

"Your kidding me right? First Julian gives me a load of paperwork, then I receive a fax informing me that I have to go on a business trip to Paris." he said.

Theresa stopped dead in her tracks. Another reminder of Fox. She turned to Ethan. "Business trip? Paris?"

"Yeah, that's right." Ethan said.

"Ethan you can't go!" Theresa said.

"I'm sorry darling, but I have no choice. It's either that or get fired. Why? Why don't you want me to go?" he said curious.

"Umm, nothing. I just don't want to be apart from you." Theresa lied.

Ethan saw the photo album and walked over to it and opened it. There was a picture of Fox. He sighed and shut the album. "I know, your worried that the same thing will happen to me as Fox." he said.

"No, that's rubbish! Where did you get that idea from?" Theresa said quickly and nervously.

"Theresa, I'm not stupid. But don't worry. If it makes you feel any better I'll take the Crane jet to Paris. There much better than those airlines." he said.

"Okay."

"So what's for dinner?" Ethan asked.

"Oh, I haven't prepared it yet. I'll go do it now." Theresa said rushing off into the kitchen.

"FOX! FOX!" Theresa was screaming at the top of her lungs.

"Mam, please we need to evacuate the building." the airport staff member said to her trying to pull her away from the window.

"No, not until I know that my soulmate is alright!" Theresa yelled ignoring the chaos behind her.

"Mam, I'm sorry but it look's like there arn't any survivors. That explosion was huge, it would've killed everyone on board."

"No you listen to me! I know that he is alive! We have a special connection!" Theresa snapped at the staff member.

"Look please get out the building! It's for your own safety!"

"No!"

"Well, mam I have done my best to get you out of here. I have other people I need to attend to!" the airport staff member walks off frustrated. Theresa collapsed to the floor crying her heart out. "I've lost him!" she screamed.

Back to reality, Theresa and Ethan were having dinner. It was dead silence. No one had said anything. Finally Ethan spoke. "Theresa, you look distant. What are you thinking about?" he asked.

Theresa couldn't tell her husband she was thinking about her ex-lover. "Umm, I'm just thinking about how we got back together." Theresa once again lied.

"Yeah, it started again by when we became friends again. We hated each other before that didn't we?" Ethan asked.

"Yeah."

It was the day of Fox's memorial service. Fox's body had never been found. No survivors were found. All his family and loved ones were in the church preparing for the service to begin. Theresa was staring at Fox's picture, which was on the alter. A hand touched her on the shoulder. It was Ethan.

"Ethan? What are you doing?" she asked curious.

"Theresa, I'm so sorry about Fox. I just wanted you to know, if there was anything I could do just let me know." Ethan said putting his hands on Theresa shoulders. From behind him his wife, Gwen was fuming and glaring at Theresa.

"Ethan, we hate each other." Theresa said.

"I haven't got anything against you. I guess it was just Rebecca messing with my head."

Gwen's jaw dropped. "Ethan? Your blaming my mother?" Gwen asked furious.

"Gwen, please this is not the time or place."

"I don't care! No! That's it! I can't compete with Theresa anymore for your attention. I want a divorce!" Gwen yelled running out the church.

"Gwen!" yelled Ethan. He just ignored her and turned back around to Theresa. "Doesn't matter, I was planning on leaving her anyway. So as I said, anything, anything. You know where I am." he said.

"Thanks Ethan. I appreciate it. I know you and Fox were never really close but I'm sure he's glad your here today." Theresa said smiling.

"Excuse me everyone, but I'm ready to start the service. So could everyone please take their seats." Father Lonigan said. Theresa sat down next to her mother, Pilar and her brother, Luis.

Pilar grabbed her daughters hand and held it close to her. "I'm so proud of you mija." she said.Theresa smiled and payed her attention towards Father Lonigan.

"Today, we are here to honor a memory. The memory of an incredible person who touched so many people's lives. His name is Nicholas Foxworth Crane, or Fox as he is known to many. Fox was recently killed in a terrible plane disaster which also claimed many other lives. Today, we are here to pray for Fox and share memories of his life." Father Lonigan started. Theresa already felt like she was dying inside. She was ready to cry, but she was going to stay strong.

Fox's mother, Ivy went up to the alter. Many of Fox's friends and family were giving a speech about his life. "My son was a wonderful man." Ivy started. "He was dedicated, loving, charming, had a great sense of humor and most of all had a kind heart. I remember this one time when Fox was only 8 years old. He was home for the holidays, he was so excited about Christmas. He kept on bugging me and Julian asking us if he was getting a battery controlled car. Of course, we couldn't possibly tell him. But on Christmas Day, his face just lit up when he saw a battery controlled car waiting for him. It was such a happy moment for him and me, to see my son just so happy. But Fox, I just want you to know I love you very much, and my life will never be the same without you." Ivy said. She was getting very emotional. Theresa saw a few tears on Ivy's face. Ivy returned to her seat. Her husband, Sam put his arm around her and comforted her.

Fox's sister, Fancy began her speech about Fox. "I loved my brother very much. He was always looking out for me, and never gave up on me even though I got angry everytime he became too overprotected. Like there was this one time when I was 16, Fox was 19. I had this new boyfriend, he was great. Handsome, charming and of course the school jockie. Fox hated him though. He kept on trying to tell me that he shouldn't be trusted, and was a liar. I didn't talk to Fox for 2 days. I was so mad at him for intefering in my personal life. But one day at school, I found my new boyfriend boasting to his friends how he was going out with the rich girl, and how we would go to expensive places for our dates. He was using me for my money. So I dumped him. And it turn's out that Fox was right about him. I couldn't trust him, and he was a liar. That's what I'll miss about my brother, his ability to protect people, and those hear who really know Fox, will know he doesn't give up without a fight. Thank you." Fancy said before sitting back down.

Many other speeches followed after that. Pilar, Ethan, Whitney and Julian all did one.

Finally it was Theresa's turn. "Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for coming today. I know Fox would appreciate your precense. Most of you here know that Fox and I fell in love approximately 2 months ago. We were so happy. Everyday he sent me a red rose to my apartment, with the same message on it. It read 'Your my one true love, I love you', I know it's not that original, but I loved it. When I said goodbye to Fox at the airport, I had a horrible feeling about the flight he was going on. And when I saw that plane explode, so did my heart. He's gone. Oh God! I could've saved him!" Theresa yelled. She began crying uncontrollably. "I'll miss you Fox! I love you!" she yelled. Pilar came up and hugged her daughter.

"It's okay Teresita." she said comforting her daughter.

Theresa looked at Ethan. "I remember that, when we became friends again. It was at Fox's memorial service." she said.

"Yeah." Ethan finished his dinner and turned to Theresa. "That was a wonderful meal. Thank you for making it." he said kissing her.

"Anytime." Theresa said not paying attention.

Meanwhile, outside the Crane Mansion, a man stepped out his car and dropped his suitcase. "Oh it's good to be home." he said- It was the thought to be deceased Fox!
