Hello my wonderful readers! I was pleased at the reaction to my last chapter, however I know that if I don't mend things I will find people with torches outside my house. So, in order to avoid that type of situation, here is the next chapter: ENJOY!

The rest of the day went by slowly. Teresa sat in her living room, trying to sort out the mess that had been created in her marriage. She only moved when she wanted to eat something, another reminder of Jane's absence in the form of her pregnancy.

She kept running through her head what Jane had said. Yes, she had to agree that it was a natural reaction for him to compare his first marriage to his second one, but it still hurt her deeply for some reason. Perhaps it was because this was her first marriage, heck, even her first serious relationship in a long time. But this was Jane's second, so Teresa felt that he was not enjoying the 'newness' of it like she was.

Oh, and there was the oh-so familiar jealousy aspect. Yes, she could admit it: she was jealous of Jane's first wife. They got to be with Jane in his pre-broken stage, when he was just out to live life to the fullest, before he was just out for revenge. Teresa had to deal with that Jane for a long time, and she knew how dark the revenge side of Jane was. Teresa would have loved to have been married to Jane before that phase, when you knew that there was no deep sadness hiding behind that obnoxious grin, when he would not have ever considered physically hurting someone, much less killing someone, in revenge.

But, that was a past that Teresa would never have access to. The old Jane was dead, died the same night as his first family, and now Teresa could only hope to help the new Jane put aside revenge and focus on life.

However, how could she help Jane if she kept pushing him away, refusing to open up to him? He had tried so hard to keep them together, and now Teresa was willing to just throw it all out the window, without even sitting down and having a long conversation about it with Jane.

Teresa groaned, leaning against the couch. Man, she needed a drink. Which totally stunk that she could not have one in her current position, but she needed something that could help her clear her head for a while. Because if she was going to try and call Jane, she needed a clear mind(do not ask her how drinking would help, but their marriage had been started by alcohol, maybe it could mend it as well).

Finally, she decided to grab her purse and go to a restaurant not far from her place, where she could eat some good food and be able to get out of her home, which was reminding her too much of Jane.

When she arrived, the hostess came up and asked her what her name was. Teresa was a bit confused, but answered, "Teresa Lisbon, uh, Jane."

"Good, please follow me."

"To where?"

"Why, to your table. Your husband is already here and asked for me to show you over to him when you arrived."

Teresa was more perturbed than surprised. Of course Jane would already be waiting there for her. If he had not been there, she would have been actually surprised.

The hostess showed her to a corner booth, in a slightly darker section of the restaurant. The hostess handed Teresa a menu and got her drink order as Teresa settled in the booth. After the hostess was gone, Teresa turned her attention to Jane. Since it was dark, she had a hard time seeing him, but she could still make out the basic outline.

"So, I take it you are here to have a talk. I have been thinking for a while, and seeing you here, I think I finally came to a semi-decision." Teresa began.

A hand went up in front of her. "Sorry, but I am not interested in hearing about your marital troubles," The shape leaned forward, "And I am most definitely not your husband, Patrick Jane."

Yes, I know, another evil cliffhanger, but how else am I supposed to make certain that you all keep reading my story? LOL. I hope that you will tell me what you thought about this chapter in a REVIEW, and I will get to work on the next part of the story. Until next chapter, Li Li.
