Funny how so many exes wound up with other exes...

[fluffysmom]

I really liked finding out about Nicole and Daniel and about Brady and Melanie. It's cool that Nicole and Daniel adopted more kids. It's interesting to hear them talk about this so many years later. Thanks for the double chapter Friday!!

[Kpatch]

[djm]

Oh Boy we are spoiled. Not only a double chapter Friday we get previews today. Am so anxious to find out the anniversary that they are celebrating. The surprise from Wes is going to be exciting I am sure. I am hoping for a renewal of there vows as for what Faith and Nicole have planned. So sad to see this coming to an end. Thanks for the previews Kpatch.

[fluffysmom]

FIESTA KEY BEACH

Philip: Are you saying I have a short attention span?
Chloe: Well, you do.
Philip: Not when it comes to important things. Like you.
Chloe: That’s true. And no.
Philip: No what?
Chloe: No, I really don’t want you to change. I sort of got used to you after the first 20 years.
Philip: That’s a relief.
He nudged Chloe.
Philip: Are you saying the second 20 years were better than the first?
Chloe: Not necessarily. It was just the first couple years after we were married that were pretty frantic.
Philip: I’ll say!
Chloe: But once we left Salem, everything changed. For the better. Living in Florida has been like another world.
Philip: No regrets about leaving?
Chloe: Not even one. We left Salem behind and we never looked back.
Philip: We never went back either.
Chloe: There was nothing there for us. We took all the important things with us. You, me, Wesley, Faith. That’s all I ever needed.
Philip lifted Chloe's chin and turned her face toward him.
Philip: I never thought I could love you more than I did the day we got married. But my passions for you have only grown. Every day. Every year. Seems impossible, but it’s true.
Chloe: Oh Philip, you’re still such a romantic.
Philip: Only because you’re my inspiration.
Chloe: You know, you can still make my heart flutter when you look at me that way.
Philip: You sure it’s not angina?
Chloe: Stop that. You’re wrecking the mood.
Philip: Sorry.
Chloe: It’s okay, I know you can’t resist a cheap joke.
Philip: Are you ever sorry, Chloe?
Chloe: What are you talking about?
Philip: That you ended up with me by some twist of fate?
Chloe: I didn’t end up with you, Philip. I chose you. Maybe not at first, but at last.
Philip: We sure did seem like an unlikely pair back in the beginning.
Chloe: Brainy ghoul girl and Mister Popularity.
Philip: Well, we fooled them all, didn’t we?
Chloe smiled and nodded.
Chloe: We sure did. Who knew that my first love would also be my last love.
Philip: I knew.
Chloe [jokingly]: Oh really? Then why didn’t you clue me in?
Philip: I’m pretty sure I did.
Chloe: That’s true, Philip, you did. You predicted it on my parents’ porch back when we were 16.
Philip: I said we’d be together forever.

Readers, please view this brief video to see what Philip and Chloe are remembering.



Philip: That was the night we spent in the barn.
Chloe: I know. I remember. I’ll never forget it as long as I live.
Philip: Hard to believe that was so long ago.
Chloe: Fifty years.
Philip: Fifty-two years, but who’s counting.
Chloe: That’s right. And today is our 40th wedding anniversary.
Philip picked up a handful of sand and he let the grains drizzle through the opening in his fist.
Philip: Forty years already. Like sands through an hourglass. ... Think the kids remember it’s our anniversary?
Chloe: Oh definitely.
Philip: Okay, spill it. What are they planning?
Chloe: I have no idea. They said it’s a surprise.
Philip: But you hate surprises.
Chloe: I’ve gotten used to them through the years. Come on. I’ve really enjoyed our trip down memory lane, but it’s getting late. We’d better get back to the house.


To be continued ...

[MrsM]

Awwww, Love it.

Just great

[fluffysmom]

Such a sweet scene. I enjoyed the video of them on her front porch. I love the way you include moments from their past. I really like this line: I didn’t end up with you, Philip. I chose you. Maybe not at first, but at last. It's awesome to see Phloe still so in love after 40 years of marriage. I am really enjoying this story a lot. Thanks Kpatch.

[André DiMera]

Wow, 40 years! That's awesome! I loved that video from back when they were teenagers! It was so sweet! This whole story has just been incredible! I love it!

[DancingDays]

Wow!! 40 years and still madly in love.

Wanna play Where's Waldo?

In the last two chapters I buried the titles of previous stories in this saga within the text. I counted seven titles. How did you do?
