Amy was Tom's ex-fiancé and Scotty saved her from that elevator back in the day. :lol:
Watch out RT Anni, the 'Other Woman' is still out there.
Thanks for the reviews!
Er, yeah, what Flash said.

APL Financial, 100th floor, noon
Steph: I'm hungry.
Bob: *writing* Is that right.
Steph: Yup.
Bob: What would you like?
Steph: McDonalds.
Bob: I think we can manage that. *lifts eyes, winks*
Steph: *smiles*
Bob: *grabs phone, dials*
Steph: When's Daddy coming back?
Bob: In a few.
Steph: *walks over to window, looks down*
Gables Estates, house, 4pm
Lori: *walks in, throws luggage*
Tom: *steps in* Dominick's with your father. Scott and Steph are in New York.
Lori: *smiles* So I have a big empty house to hang out in until they get back.
Tom: You could always go pick up Dom.
Lori: Yeah right. *walks away*
Tom: Is it okay that I take off?
Lori: You don't want anything to eat?
Tom: *shuts door, walks over* I guess that wouldn't hurt.
Lori: *opens fridge* I have...cold cuts and bread.
Tom: Sounds like a feast.
40 minutes later
Lori: *pours iced tea*
Tom: Have you decided whether or not to tell Scott about your little adventure?
Lori: Let's just keep it between us.
Tom: *nods* Sure.
Lori: *sits in chair*
Tom: I really need to take off. Anni's off today so that means the kids are home. Thanks for lunch. *kisses Lori's cheek* I'll see you later.
Lori: Right.
Tom: *stands, walks away*
Lori: *sigh*
Biscayne Park, house, 5:30pm
Anni: Brook! Guess who's home!
Brook: *smiling* DADDY! *runs up to window, looks outside*
Anni: *smirks*
Tom: *walks in*
Brook: DADDY! DADDY! *runs over, lifts arms*
Tom: Hey! *picks up Brook*
Brook: *wraps arms around Tom*
Anni: *kisses Tom* How was LA?
Tom: Informative.
Anni: Super. So you can take over for Tim when he retires.
Tom: *laughs* Uh, we'll see. *places Brook on floor*
Brook: *runs away*
Tom: *wraps arms around Anni*
Anni: Oof.
Tom: I love you.
Anni: *blinks* I love you too.
Tom: *lets go* How have you been?
Anni: Good.
Tom: *places thumb on Anni's cheek* I missed you so much.
Anni: *lowers head*
Tom: What's wrong?
Anni: Nothing. I'm glad you're home.
Tom: You don't look glad.
Anni: Scott took me on a yacht.
Tom: *lifts brow*
Anni: He wanted me to relax and forget about all my stresses and everything. Apparently I drank a little too much and I remember kissing Scott.
Tom: *stares at Anni*
Anni: *lifts head* I'm pretty sure he didn't reciprocate.
Tom: Pretty sure.
Anni: He wasn't drunk.
Tom: Of course not.
Anni: I'm sorry.
Tom: For what? You weren't entirely in control of your actions.
Anni: But it does show what a part of me wanted, doesn't it?
Tom: Come on, Anni. If I wasn't straight, I'd want Scott too.
Anni: *stares at Tom*
Tom: You were saying?
Anni: I love you, I just...I don't know...
Tom: Anni, it's okay.
Anni: No it's not. Sometimes I feel like...I'm unwanted.
Tom: What do you mean?
Anni: When I was with Scott, I felt like I had his complete attention. It was like there was no one else in the world but the two of us and I guess I wished I had that with you.
Tom: You don't think I pay enough attention to you.
Anni: In short, no.
Tom: *nods*
Anni: I'm not saying you have to be Scott and we all know he's not perfect either but maybe we're having such a problem gelling together as husband and wife is because you don't know what that's supposed to be.
Tom: ...I don't understand.
Anni: Look at how you were raised. It was all chaos, pain and confusion. You were taught that if you make yourself vulnerable for one minute, you're somehow less of a man. And your own parents weren't the perfect example of a working relationship either.
Tom: *lowers eyes*
Anni: I mean, haven't you ever wondered why none of your relationships last?
Tom: Yeah. The chicks were messed up.
Anni: *sigh* No, sweetie.
Tom: Are you saying I'm a crappy husband?
Anni: *fiddles with Tom's collar* You're a good man and a wonderful father. But we still need to work on us.
Tom: Right.
Anni: *lies head on Tom's chest*
Tom: *wraps arms around Anni*
