Leo and Becky had created a small friendship over his visit and decided to go see a movie that their other halves had no interest for.
Adam was upstairs putting Joseph back into bed after a long day, since it was 9 o'clock. Fiona was looking around the living room, seeing the many pictures of the Torres family.
She had her eyes on one which was of Adam holding Joseph up. It appeared to be as if he was still learning how to walk. The smile on the little Torres was huge and Adam had a signature smirk as he looked at the camera.
Soft footsteps were heard as Adam came back down stairs. Fiona turned around and smiled upon the seeing Mr. Torres. He had changed from his earlier long sleeve to a black solid t-shirt.
"Done with father duties?" Fiona asked as she sat on the couch, crossing her legs naturally.
Adam sighed and nodded, "Took him a while but he's in bed now." He sat on the edge of the couch, keeping his distance.
She looked at him curiously and couldn't hold her question in anymore, "You never told her, did you?"
He shook his head and played with his hands on his lap, "Nope." There were times when he wanted to tell her, to get it off his chest and so she would know. But it never came out.
"How come?" She asked carefully, not tearing her eyes from him.
"I don't think it matters." Adam looked at her, "The marriage is already a mess. She's going to file for divorce anytime soon and just telling her will make her do it faster." He shook his head and looked straight forward, "I've been miserable ever since you've left. But now you're taken."
Fiona frowned and rubbed her temple, "You couldn't have expected me to have stuck around and waited for you? I have a life too, Adam. It was placed on hold because I fell in love with a married man."
Suddenly, Adam got up and paced the living room. Fiona could tell he was very irritated with himself. Truth be told, if it weren't for Leo she would of probably stayed in Toronto those many months ago.
"You said I was using you, Fiona! You said I was using you but I loved you." Adam looked at her sadly and frowned, "You really thought I would use you? That was my plan at first but I fell in love with you, Fiona."
"Now you have a ring on your finger." He muttered to himself as he stood in the same place. "I fell in love with you, Fiona." Adam said sadly, repeating himself.
Fiona kept her mouth closed as she looked at the guy in front of her. The way he was looking at her was driving her heart crazy. The only thing she wanted to do now is get up and kiss him.
"I'm with Leo now. It's too late." She said sternly and looked down.
Adam approached her and kneeled in front of her. His hands were on the couch as he spoke to her softly, "Look at me."
Fiona looked up to make contact with the eyes that always looked into her soul. She kept quiet as he moved a hand to stroke her cheek.
"Do you love him as much as you love me?" Adam asked slowly. "Because I don't love Becky as much as I love you."
Her heart skipped a beat hearing those words come out of his mouth. He then continued, "Remember our first date? We held hands. We kissed. We made love. It felt right doing that with you. It felt right calling you mine and you calling me yours. That night I realized how much I just wanted to be with you."
Fiona's eyes looked at him lovingly. She cupped his face and felt his light stubble. "I want to put a ring on your finger. And not that regular diamond ring. I know how you love to stand out and I'd pick one out that's perfect for you. Because you deserve only the best."
He finished and smiled at her. He noticed how watery Fiona's eyes were and how it must be happy tears because the smile on her face showed it. "Be Mrs. Coyne-Torres. Go on a honeymoon to France with me. By a house with me. Have kids with me. Grow old with me."
Fiona was processing what was going on, but her heart was all in it. She wanted nothing more than to be with the guy that her made feel complete. "Make love to me." She leaned forward to capture his lips with hers.
In no doubt, this is what they were both missing.
