"I was going to make dinner. Do you want anything?" Rachel asked once Lynette had stopped crying.
"Sure" Lynette replied.
"Okay," Rachel said and went into the kitchen.

Lynette's cell phone began to ring. She looked at the call display and saw it said 'Tom'.

"Are you going to answer your phone," Rachel said walking into the living room.
"It's Tom. I'm not ready to talk to him yet," Lynette said.

"Okay I understand," Rachel replied and went back into the kitchen.

An hour later Lynette and Rachel began eating dinner.

"Can I stay here tonight?" Lynette asked.
"Of course," Rachel answered.

Once Lynette and Rachel finished dinner Rachel went to find Lynette something to sleep in.

"Here," Rachel said and handed Lynette a pair of pajamas.

"Thank you," Lynette said and went into the bathroom to change.

"Do you want to watch a movie?" Rachel asked when Lynette had come back out.

"I'm tired so I think I'm just going to go to bed," Lynette replied.

"Goodnight I'll be there in a few minutes," Rachel said.

"Goodnight," Lynette said and went into Rachel's bedroom.

Lynette crawled into Rachel's bed thinking about how betrayed she felt by Tom but how much she was in love with Rachel. A few minutes she felt Rachel's arms around her waist and soon fell asleep.

The next morning Lynette woke up to her cell phone ringing again. She looked over at Rachel and saw she was still asleep.
"Hello," Lynette said walking into Rachel's kitchen.

"Lynette we have to talk," Tom said.
"Yes we do," Lynette replied.

"Come you come home?" Tom asked.
"Yeah I'll be there in an hour," Lynette said.
"See you then bye," Tom said and hung up.

"Who were you talking too?" Rachel asked when she walked into the kitchen and saw Lynette put her phone in her purse.
"Tom," Lynette answered.
"Are you going to talk to him now?" Rachel said.
"Yeah," Lynette replied and went into the bathroom to shower.

"I'll see you later," Lynette said when she was showered and dressed.
"See you soon," Rachel said giving Lynette a peck on the cheek.

Lynette walked out the door of the apartment.

Lynette walked through the door of her house on Wisteria Lane. She sat across from Tom at the kitchen table.

"I'm sorry Lynette," Tom said.
"I'm sorry too," Lynette replied.
"What do you have to be sorry for?" Tom asked.
"I had sex with Rachel and I realized I never stopped loving her after college graduation. She's my soul mate" Lynette answered.
"Hon, we've both noticed the tension in our marriage lately. Let's separate and then you and Rachel can start a new life together," Tom replied.
"Really. But what about that woman you were kissing?" Lynette said.
"I broke up with her after you left," Tom said.
"Where are the kids?" Lynette asked. "Upstairs. Boys come down here!" Tom yelled up the stairs.

The boys came downstairs.

"Mommy. Your back," Preston said.

"Yes but I have to go away again. Don't worry it's only for this week. I'll come visit you all the time. I love you so much." Lynette said hugging the boys.

Once Lynette had finished saying goodbye the boys went outside to play.

Lynette went over to Tom and gave him a hug.
"Thank you for being so supportive. We can still be friends right?" Lynette asked.
"Sure. Now go be with your soul mate," Tom said.

Lynette gave Tom a kiss on the cheek and went out the door. She got in her car smiling about starting a new life with Rachel.
