A week later, Meredith walked out of the house and sighed when she saw Seth sitting in his car across the street. Hunter had already left for work. She walked over to Seth's car. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"I wanted to talk to you." He said getting out of the car. "I wanted to talk about us."
She sighed. "There is no us. Why are you not understanding this? What happened between us was a mistake and it never should have happened. And it's done. What we had back in the day is over and done. I'm married and I love my husband. He and I are back together. Leave me alone."
"You can't be happy with him. How can you be happy with an old man when you can have a young stud like me."
"Don't flatter yourself." She said to him. "I'm very happy with Hunter and he knows exactly how to make me happy. Better than you ever could." She looked at him. "Seth, move on with your life and forget me. Forget what happened between us. I'm not leaving Hunter and I never will. Leave me alone." She started to walk away when he grabbed her arm.
"You can't have forgotten all we were and all we meant to each other."
"I never said I forgot. I said it was over and done with. And it is." She jerked away from him. "If you don't leave me alone, I will tell Hunter that you're stalking me and I can't be held responsible for what he might do." She turned and headed toward the garage. She had some errands to run. And she decided to go to Hunter's office and tell him that Seth was stalking her. She was done keeping secrets from him.
"This new account is a good one." Shawn said as he and Hunter were looking over some paperwork.
"I agree."
"Everything okay?" Shawn asked.
"Yeah." Hunter looked at Shawn. "Things are slowly getting back to normal. I've moved back home with Meredith and we are still in therapy."
"Well that's great if that's what you want."
"It is. I want Meredith and our marriage."
"Well you have my support." Hunter nodded as Shawn headed out.
Meredith arrived at the office and asked to see Hunter. Marge told him she was there and she walked in. "Hey, what's going on?" He asked. "Is something wrong?"
"No, well yes." She sighed. "I just wanted to tell you that I think Seth is stalking me. He's come to the house twice and today he was sitting out front."
"He's been to the house?"
She sighed. "Yes, but not in it. He came to try to get me to leave you and go to him. But I told him that wasn't happening. I honestly thought he had gotten the message so I saw no reason to tell you yet because I didn't want you to go to jail for attacking him. But today, I realized he hadn't got it and I need to tell you." She looked at him. "I wasn't keeping it from you. Not really. I just thought he would get the message."
"You should have told me Meredith. I could have already done something to make him stop."
"I know. But I knew you would attack him and he would press charges only to be vindictive. And I didn't want that." She sighed. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you and I should have."
"Yes, you should have." He replied. "I'm going to take care of Seth and he will never bother you or us again."
"Hunter." She said to him. "We're okay right? This didn't hurt the progress we've made so far?"
He looked at her. "No, it didn't but Meredith, you can't keep things from me. No matter how small. Full disclosure is the type of marriage I want. I won't take anything else."
She nodded. "You're right. I want that type of marriage too. Full disclosure and I should have told you he was stalking me. But, like I said, I thought he got the message."
"Alright. Then we are in agreement."
"I should go. I have some errands to run."
"I'll see you at home" She nodded and headed out. She knew he was right. She should have told him but she thought Seth had heard her. And would leave her alone.
Hunter picked up the phone and called Randy. He asked him set up a meeting with Seth at the gym. He told Randy that he just wanted to speak with Seth. Randy agreed to set up the meeting. Hunter headed out once it was done. He wanted to make sure Seth knew to stay away from Meredith.
"Thanks for setting this up, Randy." Hunter said as they waited in the office.
"Well, you said you were just wanted to talk to him right?"
"That's all I want to do. I just want him to stay away from Meredith." Randy nodded as there was a knock on the door.
"I'll let him in." Randy said and headed to the door. "Seth, thanks for coming."
"Well, you said it was important." Seth said walking in. He stopped when he saw Hunter. "What's going on, Randy?"
"Hunter wants to speak with you." Randy replied.
"Talk to me about what?" Seth asked looking at Hunter.
"About you stalking my wife." Hunter said to him. "She told me all about it."
"Stalking? Is that what she said?" Seth laughed. "I wasn't stalking her. She and I have never ended our affair." He smiled within. This was his chance to really make Hunter doubt her. "We have continued it even as you thought she wanted to save the marriage."
Hunter looked at him. "I don't believe you."
"How can you trust her?"
"I do trust her though." He replied. "And I didn't think I would ever again. But I do. And I know you and she are done. That the affair ended. Meredith is done with you and I want you to stay away from her."
Seth walked closer to him. "And if I don't?"
"If you don't," Hunter said and grabbed him and held him against the wall. "Then you will see the real bad side of me. Stay away from my wife." He dropped him and left the room.
Randy looked at Seth. "I've known Hunter for a long time. Do what he says and stay away from Meredith. He's not someone you want to mess with."
"I'm not afraid of him."
Randy laughed. "You should be. And I know deep down you are. Just stay away from Meredith. Move on." Randy walked out leaving Seth there.
Kyra sat in the office looking over her patient files. It had been a week since Chris moved out. She called him but he told her he needed time. She missed him and tried to explain that Adam kissed her. But he wouldn't listen to anything. She looked up as he walked by the door to her office.
"Chris." She said getting up and walking to the door. "Can we talk please?"
"Fine. Let's talk." He said. "Let's talk about Adam and how you seem to want to be near him."
"That's not it. I was helping him with his mother's funeral. He doesn't have anyone."
"It looked like more than that." He replied. "He cheated on you and he left you for someone else. How can you want to help him?"
"Because I liked his mom. She and I continued to talk after Adam and I were divorced. I wanted to help him do something nice for her." She looked at him. "Chris, I don't have any feelings for Adam. I don't want to be with him. I only want you. He kissed me. I didn't kiss him."
"Are you sure you don't have feelings for him? I'm not. And I think you don't really know either." He looked at her. "Admit it, you don't know."
"Adam and I have a history. But any feeling I had for him died when he cheated on me."
"I want to believe that." He said to her. "I really do. But I don't think I can. He might have kissed you but you didn't pull away. From where I saw anyway."
"You must have left before I did pull away from him. Because I did. I love you Chris. I love you more than I have ever loved anyone. I don't want anyone else. Please believe that."
"I love you, Kyra. I do. I just...Adam was your first love. You said so yourself. And I know a lot of people say, you never lose it for your first love. And he wants you back."
"But I don't want him." She sighed. "Chris, I can't say I don't want him anymore than I have. I love you and I wish you would believe that." She started to walk away when he grabbed her arm gently.
"Wait." He said to her. "Let's have dinner tonight and talk about this. I love you and I don't want things like this. But I don't want to be a second choice either."
"You aren't." She said softly before kissing him. "You are the only choice." She looked at him. "And dinner sounds great."
"Good. See you after your last patient." She nodded as he headed to his office.
She hoped dinner went good. She loved him and she didn't want anyone else. He was the one she was always meant for and she would show him that.
