Chris walked out of his office and was surprise to run into Adam. "What are you doing here?" He asked him.
"I came to see Kyra." Adam replied. "It's a free country. I can see who I want." Adam looked at him. "Are you jealous?"
"I have no reason to be jealous. Kyra and I are very happy. She's been done with you for a while and she has no desire to revisit anything with you." Chris looked at him. "Why are you really here?"
"I told her I was still in love with her and that I made a mistake. And I want her back."
Chris looked at him. "You have a lot of nerve coming here. Get out Adam. She's done with you. And if you think you're going to try to come between us, you are seriously mistaken."
Adam walked to the door and then turned back to Chris. "She still has feelings for me. I know she does." He said before walking out.
Chris sighed once he left. If Adam thought he was getting Kyra back, he was wrong and Chris would make sure he knew it.
A few days later, Hunter and Meredith headed for their next therapy session. Hunter had spent the last few days writing in the notebook about his feelings and what he read in Meredith's notebook.
"Well, last time, Hunter, you read Meredith's notebook. What have you written down about it?" Kyra asked. Hunter handed her the notebook. She quickly read it. "Can I share this with Meredith?" He nodded and she handed it to her.
Meredith read it and then looked at him. "You worry about the age difference?" She asked him.
"Yes, I do." He sighed. "Mere, I'm 19 years older than you. That's a lot of years. I worry that you will realize that you want someone closer to your age. That's always been my fear and when I found you cheating with someone who was close to your age, it made it more real. It could happen"
Kyra looked at Meredith. "What do you think about that?"
"I never think about the age difference. Yeah I know he's older but I don't even think about it." She looked at Hunter. "I love you and I have never wanted to leave you for someone close to my age. Even with the affair, I never wanted to leave you."
"Alright." Kyra replied. "Now, Meredith, what are your thoughts about what Hunter wrote to what you wrote?"
"I'm glad he read that I was worried he would file for divorce once all the therapy was done. Because that's my fear. That even though we are working through things in therapy, that he won't be able to really forgive me for the affair. That he will think that he can't trust me anymore and decide that he can't be married to me anymore."
"And what did you think about his thoughts?"
"I'm glad he said he didn't want a divorce but I know nothing is certain."
"And that's true." Kyra replied. "You both know that nothing is certain where therapy is concerned. After all of this, you could end up getting divorced. I just want you both to be prepared for that." They both nodded. "Good. Now, we discussed your meeting, and the wedding and your fears. Now, let's talk about what led up to the affair. Hunter, you suggested Meredith get a trainer, right?"
"Yes, I did. But I had no idea he was her ex."
"Alright. Meredith, when you realized your trainer was your ex, why didn't you ask for someone else?"
"I don't really know. Seth and I parted on good terms. And I honestly didn't know anything would happened. I thought all the feelings I had were gone and he and I could remain professional."
"What feelings did you have?" Hunter asked her.
"Seth and I had a pretty serious relationship. I will always have some feelings for him but I'm not in love with him and I don't want him."
"Alright, so, what happened to cause you to cross that line with Seth?" Kyra asked.
She sighed. "I was very lonely. Hunter was always working and traveling. I was alone. And I started working out more than I had planned. Seth and I started spending a lot of time together. He was there for me and things just happened. I regret it everyday. I hate that I could do that. I never thought I would do that."
"Alright." Kyra said making notes. "Hunter, do you have something to say about what Meredith just said?"
"I knew she was lonely. She told me numerous times and that's why I suggested the trainer. It just never occurred to me, I guess, that what she wanted was to spend time with me. I wanted to give Meredith everything. That's why I was working so much. I have always worked like that and the fact that my business is so successful is a tribute to that. But I should have thought about Meredith and the fact that she wanted to spend time with me."
"Well, that's a good start." She replied. "I think you both have made some good progress today. I think next session, we will began healing from this." They both nodded and headed out.
She made her notes and smiled when Chris walked in. "Ready to go?"
"I am." She replied.
"Oh, Adam came by to see me today." Chris said as they got into the car.
"What did he want?" She asked him.
"I think you know. He wanted to tell that he told you how much he loved you and what a mistake he made. He said you have feelings for him."
"I don't and I told him that. I told him I was happy with you and what he and I had is gone."
"Good. Because I told him the same thing." Chris smiled. "Nice to know we are on the same track." She nodded as they drove home. She couldn't believe Adam went to see Chris. Whatever he was doing wasn't going to work.
Meredith sighed as she walked into the house. She and Hunter had gone out to dinner and talked a little bit. She wanted him to move back home so much but she knew Kyra was right. They had to fix their marriage before that could happened. She walked into the kitchen and got a bottle of water just as the door bell rang. She wondered who was visiting her. She opened the door and sighed.
"What are you doing here, Seth?" She asked him.
"I wanted to talk to you." He said as he stood there. "Can I come in?"
"No, you can say what you have to say right here." She said to him. "So what do you want?"
"I want you. I think we can rebuild our relationship. I think that's what us meeting again and sleeping together is telling us we have to try."
"No, it doesn't." She replied. "What it tells us is that it was just chance that you were assigned my trainer and it was my stupid mistake that lead to us sleeping together. And that's what it was. That's what the whole affair was. It was stupid. A stupid mistake."
"Do you really believe that or are you just telling yourself that?"
"I believe that." She sighed. "Seth, I will always remember our relationship and what we felt for each other but our relationship and the affair are over. I love Hunter. I always have. I want my marriage. And I'm doing my best to fix what I did. Leave me alone Seth. There is nothing I want more than my husband and my marriage. Don't come here again." She said before shutting the door. She hoped he got the message. She was done with him and the affair. She was focused on her marriage and husband.
