Chapter flashback:

As Fox stepped out the car he approached the front door of the mansion. Already he could sense Theresa's presence. It felt good. As he pressed the door bell button Theresa approached the inside of the front door and slowly turned the door handle.

Chapter 3:

Fox hesitated as he waited for the front door to Theresa and Ethan's mansion to be answered. "What am I doing?" he questioned himself. "I don't want to be reunited with Theresa with Ethan there. I gotta get out of here."

From the inside...

"Ethan! The door's jammed!" Theresa yelled out to her husband as she tried to open the door. Ethan walked over to Theresa and the door and struggling, pushed the door. It finally opened. But no one was there. "That's weird. No one's here. I could've sworn the doorbell rang." Theresa said.

"It did. Hmm, probably just some kid's playing a practical joke on us. Let's go back inside." Ethan said leading Theresa inside.

"I remember the day's when me and my friends played those type of jokes on people. So much has changed since then hasn't it darling?" Theresa said.

"Yes." Ethan said not really hearing what Theresa said. He just paid all his attention to the tv. Theresa sighed.

"Ethan do we have to watch tv? Why can't we go for a nice walk on the beach or wharf, or go out for dinner?" Theresa asked Ethan getting frustrated.

"I'm watching the tv Theresa! We'll talk later." Ethan yelled not caring one bit.

"Well I'm going for a walk, I'll be back soon... maybe." Theresa grabbed her coat and started walking towards the wharf.

Wharf...

Fox was leaning over the edge of the wharf. "Damn! I should've just stayed at the damn mansion, at least I would've been with Theresa then." he thought out loud. "Oh Theresa." Fox remembered one of the great moments he had with Theresa.

It was Fox and Theresa's first Valentine's Day as a couple. They were at Fox's penthouse having a candlelight dinner on the balcony. "Fox, this is beautiful. How did you organise all this?" Theresa asked amazed at what surrounded her.

"Well for you I can do anything. I'm glad you liked it."

"Like it? Fox I love it! This is the best Valentine's Day I have ever had! But mainly because I'm with you sweetheart." Theresa smiled at him.

"Happy Valentine's Day, Resa." Fox said. "Care for a dance?" he asked holding out his hand.

"Of course." Theresa responded holding his hand. They started dancing to 'Almost Paradise', Theresa rested her head on Fox's shoulder. "I'm the most luckiest girl in the world." she said.

"Why do you say that?"

"Possibly because I'm in a relationship with the most loving, caring, honest, gentle, handsome, and sexiest man alive. You."

Fox laughs. "Well, I don't blame you there."

"I love you Fox." she said.

"I love you too." Fox kisses Theresa gently on the lips and they resume dancing.

"If only I didn't get on that damn plane. Then I would still be with Theresa. We could've even be married, or had some kids as well."

"Fox?" a voice said behind him. "Fox Crane?"

Fox turned around, it was Whitney. "Hey, Whitney!"

"What the hell?" Whitney whispered to herself. "No, your probably just someone who look's like Fox. I'm sorry I bothered you." she said before walking off.

Fox grabbed Whitney's arm. "Whitney! It is me! I didn't die in the plane crash." Fox cried, desperate.

"But... but how's that possible? Everyone on board was killed." Whitney questioned Fox.

"I was blown from the plane, and I had amnesia for 5 years." Fox said throwing his arms in the air.

"Oh My God, Oh My God! I can't believe it! It's been 5 years, and you know... most of the people in this town, when they die they end up not being dead. I thought it was different for you, cause you were gone for so long."

"Yeah...?" Fox said slightly confused at what Whitney was trying to say.

"So, have you seen Theresa yet?"

"No, but why the hell does everyone keep on asking that?"

"Umm, how about because she is the love of your life. Fox! I know you probably still love her."

"Yeah I do. But I heard she's with Ethan now, so I better just stay out of their lives."

"That doesn't sound like a good idea to me. Theresa and Ethan's marriage is very cold."

''That's what Pilar said earlier."

"Because it's true! Theresa told me the other day that she and Ethan arn't the same as they used to be. Did you know that at your memorial service they became friends again? That's when it all started."

"Really? How did they fall back in love again?" Fox asked.

"It doesn't matter."

"No Whit, please tell me. I want to know."

"Okay, but you might not like it."

It was now 2 months since Fox's tragic 'death'. Theresa was still devastated, but was beginning to accept that Fox was gone, and very slowly was moving on. Ethan had high hopes that he and Theresa would end up back together again. He had divorced Gwen and was also moving on. In fact, Ethan had never stopped loving Theresa. He always thought that Gwen was the one for him. But he started to see her in a whole new light.

It was a bright, summer's day in Harmony, and Theresa Lopez Fitzgerald unfortunately had to work on this wonderful day. She was an assistant at Crane Industries. She worked close to people like Julian, Ethan, Chad, Alistair and Rebecca. Rebecca didn't exactly work at Crane Industries, she just ran around the building all day barking orders at all the workers. She always used to say it on the line of this: "I'm Mrs Julian Crane, and if you don't do this then I will get you fired. You understand me? Now shift it!" she always used to yell. Of course the workers had to give in to her, fearful of losing their jobs.

Anyway, Theresa was in her office typing up a letter from Julian to another business of some sort. Theresa wasn't allowed in on the details, but she knew that the man she was dealing with was very suspicious. Theresa was busy typing away when she was interrupted by a voice. "Theresa." it said. Theresa turned around.

"Oh, Mr Winthrop, you scared me there for a second." Theresa said.

"Oh please, Theresa you can call me Ethan at work too. I much prefer it."

"Yes, okay then. Ah, what can I do for you?"

"I'll tell you what you can do for me. How would you like to go out to dinner tonight... with me."

"No! No! Wait stop! So Ethan asked Theresa out at work?" Fox asked interrupting Whitney.

"Yeah, now just let me continue... please?"

"Sure, sorry."

"So anyway... "

"Oh Ethan, umm... I wasn't really expecting that. What can I say?" Theresa asked slightly flattered.

"Just say yes. I would enjoy your company."

"Okay then, yes. Alright, I'll go out with you tonight."

"Yes! Okay, I'll pick you up at 7pm. Dress in something nice, and formal. See you then." Ethan said rushing out the door after giving Theresa a kiss on the cheek. Theresa blushed and continued typing embarrassed.

---------------------------------------------

That night...

Theresa was getting ready for her date with Ethan. She was dressed in a black dress with silver heels, and her hair was out with curls at the bottom. Her mother, Pilar came in the room. "Theresa where are you going?" she asked.

"I'm going on a date mama." Theresa said putting on some earrings.

"A date? With who?"

"Ethan."

"Ethan! Theresa, are you sure about this?"

"Why wouldn't I be? I'm going out to have some fun mama."

"But Ethan.?.. I'm already having my doubts Theresa." Pilar said obviously concerned.

Theresa sighed. "Mama, don't worry. It's just one date." Theresa was interrupted by the door bell. "Ooh, that will be Ethan. How do I look?" she asked Pilar.

"Beautiful." Pilar said.

"Okay, I'll see you later mama." Theresa said running towards the door. She opened it and there was Ethan smiling, holding some roses and wearing a suit.

"Oh wow, you look fantastic Theresa." he said.

"Thank You Ethan."

"Hello Pilar." Ethan said when he saw Pilar.

"Hello Ethan." she said back. She turned around and left the room.

"So Ethan, where are we going?"

"The country club. I hope you like it."

"Oh wow! This should be fun."

"Hmm, Ethan took Theresa to the country club? Okay." Fox said.

"Do you want me to stop now." Whitney asked.

"No, please go on.

-----------------------------------

Country Club...

"This is nice." Theresa said looking around her. She was in the restaurant of the Country club with Ethan.

"I thought you would like it. " Ethan responded.

Dinner passed and so did dessert. Ethan took Theresa home. At the door:

"Thank you for a lovely evening." Theresa said to Ethan.

"Anytime, and I really mean that."

"I know you do. See you on Monday...?" Theresa asked.

"Yes of course."

Theresa turned around to unlock the door. Ethan grabbed her arm and kissed her. He pushed her against the wall and began kissing her like there was no tomorrow-

"Oh My God! Fox I'm so sorry, I have to go now. I'm meeting up with Chad. Umm, I'll see you sometime...?" Whitney said.

"Yeah, of course. See ya Whit."

"Bye." Whitney said before walking off.

Fox sighed and turned back around. "Look's like Theresa and Ethan really did love each other." he said to himself. Suddenly a hand touched his shoulder. He turned around and there was Theresa, right before his very own eyes!
