Patrick, emotionally and physically spent, sighed as he exited Anna's hotel suite. It was over. Finally. It had been difficult to face the truth of what he wanted for his future and end his marriage, but he knew it was the right thing to do. It wasn't fair to him or to Robin to continue forcing something that used to come so naturally. He would always love his wife, but he was in love with Sabrina. Despite him saying "nothing" happened in that elevator, seeing that video brought all of his emotions back and he knew he'd been lying to himself. As Parick recalled the sting of Sabrina's slap against his cheek and the feel of her lips on his when he kissed her, as well as the trail of fire her hands left on his body as if he were reliving it at that moment, he realized he wanted it all again. And, his talk with Emma, as uncomfortable as it was, gave him the push he needed to go after what (or rather who) would make him happy. Patrick had assumed Emma's happiness was tied to having her parents together in the same house, but he knew that she would be happy as long as they were happy - even if it was apart.
When Robin opened the door, she assumed he was there to beg her forgiveness the way he had when he'd slept with Lisa Niles, so the fact that Patrick was there to break up didn't go over well. She'd ranted and raved for a while, calling him and Sabrina every name in the book in her anger, but he'd eventually made her see reason. When Patrick asked Robin if she was happy in their marriage since her return, she'd surprised herself (and him) when she said she wasn't. It was at that moment, that they both accepted the writing on the wall. As such, they spent the next few hours discussing the divorce.
Patrick pulled his phone out of his right pocket so that he could call Diane to draw up the divorce papers. When he used his left hand to unlock the phone, he was momentarily distracted by his wedding ring. Knowing it no longer belonged there, he shifted the phone to his left hand as he pulled it off with his right one and slipped it into his pants pocket. Then, he dialed.
Meanwhile…
Sabrina yawned as she opened her eyes to see Will staring down at her. He smiled and said, "Morning, sleepyhead."
"What time is it?" she asked groggily.
"After eleven."
Sabrina brought her hands to her face and rubbed it. "Oh, man, I didn't mean to sleep so late!"
Will smirked. "Well, last night was eventful." He added, "In many ways," as he leaned down and kissed her lightly on the lips.
Sabrina smiled, remembering how Will had gotten her mind off of the Ball. "That it was."
"So, how did you sleep?"
Sabrina thought a moment and then said, "Surprisingly well." When Will laid back down on his back, she shifted positions so that she was on her side and put her chin on his chest. As she put her arm around him, she said, "It's funny, but I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders."
"How so?"
"As humiliating as it was to see that video on the screen, I'm glad it came out. The guilt of my affair with Patrick has been eating away at me, slowly, for months. I could barely look Robin in the eye anytime I ran into her."
Will absently stroked Sabrina's hair. "I know how much that was weighing on you."
"It really was. I guess I just don't have it in me to be the other woman," Sabrina said on a sigh.
Will looked her in the eyes, serious, and replied, "You deserve better than that anyway. Any man lucky enough to have you in his life shouldn't want anyone else."
Sabrina whispered, "Thank you," and shifted her body weight to bring her face even with his and then she gave him a long, tender kiss. "You don't know what that means to me."
"So, you're okay?"
"Yeah, I really am. My affair with Patrick is out, as is the truth about what happened to my son. I feel like I can finally close the door on my past and look to a future with you - if you're interested."
Will grinned. "You have no idea how happy I am to hear that," he said as he pulled her on top of him.
When Sabrina was on top of him, she laughed and leaned down to kiss him behind the ear. Then, she pressed her hips into his and murmured, "I think I do."
Will moaned in pleasure and then rolled them around so Sabrina was pinned beneath him. "I should probably show you. Just to make sure."
Sabrina didn't say anything. She just pulled him in for a kiss that let him know she was open and eager for a demonstration.
