"I-I have to go." Reba said softly as she turned to leave.

"No, Reba, wait." Brock said catching her arm. "Please don't go. Let me explain."

"I don't wanna hear an explanation." Reba said turning to go.

"Reba, I love you. I never stopped loving you for one second in my life. I need to know if you love me too."

"What do you think the answer to that is, Brock?" Reba asked looking into his eyes.

"Honestly, I don't know. I can tell you what I want it to be." Brock said.

"I think it's obvious what you want it to be." Reba said rolling her eyes.

"Well? Do you?"

Reba looked up to meet his eyes. It seemed as though he stared into her soul. She knew she couldn't lie to him, but she didn't want to get hurt. "No, I don't." She said quickly moving her eyes to focus on something else.

"Reba, look into my eyes and tell me honestly that you don't love me." Brock demanded.

"That ain't fair! You know that I can't lie!" Reba realized her slip and quickly covered her mouth.

Brock gave a smirk and moved closer to her. "So, you love me too?"

"Noooo." She said in a way that Barbra Jean would. Brock raised an eyebrow at her.

"Ugh, yes. Ok? I do. I have loved you Brock for a long as I can remember." Reba said looking up at him with tears forming in her eyes. "I love you..."

She was cut off by Brock's lips crashing on her own. Her mind said to pull away. To not trust him, but her heart said to love him. There was no question as to which one would take over. She pulled him in closer and deepened the kiss. It felt wonderful to her to be wrapped in his arms again.

Brock held onto her as tight as he could as if she would slip away. He made a promise that he would never lose her again.

Reba having pulled her mind together pulled away. "Brock, I can't do this." Reba whispered looking into his eyes.

"Why not?" Brock asked confused.

"I can't get hurt again. I can't go through the pain."

"Reba, that was a huge mistake. I wanted to turn back time as soon as it happened. I will never ever do anything to hurt you. I don't want to see you hurt again." Brock said with his hands on her shoulders forcing her to look at him.

"What about the kids?" she asked quietly.

"I talked to them."

"When?"

"Well, before my mother came. They knew Barbra Jean and I were gonna get divorced soon, so Van said 'Mr.H, when you're a free man, are you gonna go get your woman?' and I asked them if it would be ok with them if I did. They were all happy about it."

"Oh." Reba said as she looked down.

"Yeah. What do you say? Give me another chance? I promise I won't hurt you ever again." Brock said sincerely looking into her eyes.

Reba smiled and closed the gap between them. In her mind everything was going to be alright. Her life was going to be back to normal again.

Brock pulled away from the beauty he was kissing. "Reba Nell McKinney," he started kneeling to the ground, "I love you with all my heart.."

Reba interrupted him with a question. "Are you asking me what I think you're asking me?"

"Please give me another chance."

"Are you serious?" Reba asked giggling.

"One hundred percent serious." He replied taking her hand in his.

"You know we can never be the same again."

"I know." He started as he stood up to look directly into her eyes, "We can be better."

Reba kissed him with as much passion as she had. "Is that a yes?" Brock asked hopefully in between a kiss.

"Yes!" She said smiling against his lips.

All troubles and worries escaped their heads that night. All that mattered was being in each other's arms as their hearts did all the talking. To them life could not be any better.
