Bree arrived at Lynette's house quicker than she expected but when she knocked on the door, she wanted to run away because she was unsure her friend could help her.

Lynette opened the door with a smile on her face, a tired smile as Bree heard the sounds of screaming children; that smile soon turned to worry when she saw Bree.

"Bree is everything ok?" Lynette asked throwing the tea towel down onto the table that stood by the door. On the table was a basket that held a bunch of keys and normally the mail would stand there also but Lynette had already collected the mail and thrown away the junk.

"Erm…I don't know." Bree simply replied, straining to speak.

Lynette hesitated to ask her in, Tom was busy doing some stuff and the children were running around like lunatics.

"Wanna take a walk?" Lynette asked in a friendly tone and Bree smiled with relief.

"Please." Was all she said.

"Tom, take care of the kids, I'm going out for a while." She called and before Tom could protest, she had grabbed the keys and shut the door.

Bree sat down on the bench first, shortly followed by Lynette who looked with interest at her.

"So what's up?" Lynette asked chirpily.

"It's Rex." Bree answered, choking up once more and Lynette leaned closer draping an arm around Bree's shoulder.

"I know how hard this has hit you, I just wish you'd spoken about it sooner." Lynette told her and Bree heaved a heavy sigh.

"I feel so humiliated." Bree drew in a deep breath before speaking again. "But I just don't want to be alone."
"Nobody wants to be alone sweetie." Lynette assured her.

"No, it's not just that. I just don't want him to leave." Bree looked at her friend, afraid of the pity in her eyes but she saw none; the only thing she saw was friendship, love and empathy.

"Is it because you don't want to face going out there as the ex Mrs Van De Kamp, going out there and having to start again or is it because you still love him and can't bear to lose him?" Lynette asked her. "Because I can empathise with the latter, I never want to lose Tom."

"I…" Bree started but stopped. She only continued when Lynette urged her to.

"Go on, I'm here to listen to you Bree, say whatever you need to." Lynette spoke, reaching her free hand over to Bree, brushing a strand of her red hair out of her eyes.

"I still love him, I guess." Bree looked down again. "After his heart attack I was so worried. I told him I wanted to tell him something, but he was too ready to listen to what I really had to say, so I told him that I was going to take everything he was worth, I wouldn't let him say anything."

"What did you really want to tell him?" Lynette asked, rubbing Bree's back as tears began to flow once more, worrying Lynette because it wasn't like Bree.

"That I loved him more than anything, that I was prepared to beg him to try and save our marriage." Bree replied, looking up to see Maisy Gibbons walking their way.

"Oh hello Bree, Lynette." She spoke in a thick voice.

"Maisy, don't start!" Lynette carefully warned her.

"Oh I'm not here to sneer, I saw Bree crying and was wondering if she was ok." Maisy spoke as if Bree wasn't there, and that angered both Lynette and Bree.

"That's nothing to do with you." Lynette snapped but Bree held up her hand.

"Hang on a second." Bree stood up, directly facing her opponent. "I do have something to say to you Maisy."
"Oh yeah? Well go ahead and say it, we're all adults here." Maisy smirked.

"I just wanted to let you know that next time you decide to sleep with my husband, be aware of the consequences." Bree snarled and Lynette gasped.

"Oh and what are they Bree?" Maisy asked in a vindictive tone. Bree didn't say anything; instead she slapped Maisy causing the other woman to fall to the floor holding her face.

"That isn't my hardest either, so leave Rex alone!" Bree snapped, watching Maisy walk sheepishly away, a frown on her face.

"It's his choice! You're not his mother!" Maisy yelled as she reached the edge of the park and Bree placed her hands on her hips.

Bree smiled, her spirit was back up and once again she felt like fighting the world…. that was until she remembered her situation.

"Why didn't you mention Rex and Maisy?" Lynette questioned as Bree slumped back onto the bench.

"Because that would mean I'd have to admit that Rex has moved on and I'm not ready to do that." Bree looked at her with eyes full of emotional pain.

As Danielle came to the end of the note, she, herself was in tears at the flow of her father's beautiful words and it was at the point that she knew her mom and dad had to get back together now more than ever.

"Oh no." she sobbed, running her hands through her hair, strained sobs coming from her chest as she reached over to the phone.

Rex lay on the bed of his motel room, the bed on which Bree tried to seduce him. His thoughts swirled around his head so fast that he was starting to feel sick and dizzy. The thoughts stopped swirling when the phone rang.
