After several hours of both driving and flying, Todd had finally arrived in New York. He had Téa's address, since they sent each other mail quite a bit. So once he arrived, he made his way to her apartment.

Téa, of course, had no clue at all that Todd was coming, so she was doing what she normally did on a Saturday afternoon: prepare arguments for her cases that would happen within the following week.

She was in the middle of preparing a statement when she decided to take a break and go to the park and get some fresh air. After getting dressed and grabbing a sweatshirt, she was getting ready to leave when she heard a knock on the door.

Téa thought to herself, "Now who could that be?"

She went to her door, opened it, and saw Todd standing in front of her.

Téa was a bit speechless, as she was not expecting Todd to just show up like that. After a few moments, and with tears in her eyes, she managed to say, "Todd?"

Todd smiled and said, "Yes, I'm here. I missed you so much."

Todd and Téa gave each other a huge hug, and Téa replied, "I missed you too."

Todd replied, "Are you going to invite me in, or are we just going to stand out here?"

Téa giggled and replied, "Of course. Come on in."

They went into Téa's apartment, and Todd replied, "Wow, you really made it home here."

Téa said, "I tried to, but it didn't feel 100% like home. It was missing you. I miss you practically every moment of every day."

Todd nodded and said, "I feel the same way."

Téa felt tears in her eyes, and said, "Yeah, we both miss each other so much, but this was a once in a lifetime opportunity that I couldn't refuse."

Todd just rolled his eyes and said, "I know that, but why did you have to take it now? Why not in a few years from now?"

Téa felt a little bit angry and snapped back, "It may not have come along again for a very long time! It was now or never!"

Todd yelled back, "Still, you dropped this on everyone in town so fast, it was like you wanted to leave!"

"Excuse me?" yelled Téa, with more tears in her eyes, "This is exactly why I didn't tell anyone until I was sure I was leaving!"

At that moment, Téa had started to really cry. She was feeling horrible for making Todd feel horrible at that moment. It was supposed to be a happy moment, but it turned into a huge argument.

Todd started to feel bad then too, and said to Téa, "I'm sorry for snapping like that. This must have been a hard decision for you, and I understand why you didn't tell anyone."

Todd went to Téa's face to wipe away the tears streaming down, and Téa didn't stop him. After he did, she said, "This was not an easy decision at all. I had to decide between a huge opportunity or keeping the life I've always known in Llanview."

Todd replied, "I understand now. It would have been nice to live here with you, but I couldn't leave, with the kids, and the paper, it would have been too much."

Téa said, "I know, and it would have been impossible to make it work long-distance."

After a few moments of somewhat awkward silence, Todd said, "It would have been, but we're always going to love and care about each other, no matter how close or apart we are."

Téa just said, "Yes. I love you, no matter what, Todd."

Todd replied, "I love you too, no matter what."

The two hugged each other, then shared a much desired, and much needed, kiss. It was something that they enjoyed every second of.
