I hope so too.

Loved Philip wondering if Chloe realizes there's only one woman he wants. I wanted the kisses to go further but because it's what they both really want...not for revenge. Belle doesn't deserve Philip. He could be dead and she's spending the night with Shawn.

That was a short chapter. I am hoping another is following tonight. I thought that Chloe would have picked up on the They did not honor their vows so why should we. When Chloe said they were both married to someone else. I loved their kiss.

[fluffysmom]

I think she was too overcome by her feelings to question Philip any further.

[ghoulgirl]

I agree with that fluffy.

They are so meant to be. If he came
Back to the show I would start watching again in a heart beat.

[djm]

Could be fluffysmom, but the first thing I thought of when he said it was Chloe saying What do you mean They. Belle cheated on you Do you know something about Brady?

[fluffysmom]

Chloe did ask about Brady. Philip said he was guessing based on Chloe's earlier suspicions.

[djm]

Thanks Fluffysmom. I missed that line when I read it the first time. So the reaction I was expecting was there.

HOUSE IN THE WOODS

After a while, Philip woke up. Lying on the sofa, he lifted his head and saw Chloe sitting by the fireplace with her arms around her knees, which were pulled close to her chest. She was looking at him.

Philip: Hey.
Chloe blinked, as if coming out of a trance. She hadn’t even realized she was watching Philip sleep. It was all so surreal, being here with Philip, no one knowing where they were, feeling things she shouldn’t be feeling.
Chloe: Hey.
Philip: You okay?
Chloe: Yeah. Just having a hard time sleeping. My mind won’t let me.
Philip: Was I sleeping long?
Chloe: About an hour, I think.
Philip looked at his wrist watch.
Philip: Wow, middle of the night.
He rubbed his face and stretched his back as he got off the sofa. Then he picked up Chloe’s purse and brought it to her as he dropped onto the cushions by the fireplace. She looked at him quizzically when he handed her the bag.
Philip: I’d like an order of breath mints to go.
Chloe smiled and rummaged through her purse. She pulled out a box of TicTacs and handed them to Philip. He popped a couple in his mouth and returned them to Chloe, who helped herself to a couple.
Philip: Mmm, delicious. What else do you have in that bag? Any cheeseburgers?
Chloe looked inside her handbag.
Chloe: Sorry, no. Just my wallet, a hairbrush, lipstick, a pen, a useless cell phone. What’s this?
Chloe looked at the business card Philip had put in her purse.
Philip: That’s your safety net. You can call me any time.
Chloe: Thank you, Philip.
Philip: So why couldn’t you sleep? Tell me what you’re thinking.
Chloe looked at Philip and smiled wistfully.
Chloe: You once wrote me a poem called “Tell Me What You’re Thinking.”
Philip: I know. I remember. I read it to you when I taught you how to ice skate.
He reached for her and touched her chin.
Philip: I remember everything.
Chloe’s eyes locked with Philip’s and for a moment it felt like they went back in time. Chloe’s mind was on the verge of turning to mush. She could barely remember her name, let alone tell Philip what she was thinking. He continued to look at her, expecting an answer to his question.
Chloe: I don’t know, Philip. I think I’m coming to the realization that you should be careful what you wish for.
Philip placed his hand on top of Chloe’s hand which was clutching her knee.
Philip: Why?
Chloe: Well, I got everything I wished for. I’m married to Brady, I have a career in opera, I live in a beautiful European city. I have everything I dreamed of.
Philip: But you’re not happy?
Chloe shook her head no. Why was she confiding in him like this? She hadn’t seen him for years. What was it about Philip that made her feel like she could tell him anything?
Chloe: I’m pretty pathetic, huh?
He took Chloe’s hand off her knee and held it between both of his.
Philip: No. You’re not.
Once again, she felt herself getting lost in his blue eyes, and the warmth of his hands sent the blood rushing to her head. Stop it Chloe, you’re a married woman. You love your husband. Just stop this, she repeated to herself, wanting to extract her hand from between Philip’s, while at the same time, hoping he’d never let go.
Philip: I know exactly how you feel.
Chloe: You do?
Philip nodded.
Philip: I have a picture-perfect life too. I have a beautiful wife ...
Chloe: She loves you, Philip.
Philip drew a deep breath.
Philip: She has a funny way of showing it.
Chloe: But it’s true. She told me so. If she really wanted Shawn ...
Philip: There’s only one reason she hasn’t left me for Shawn. Money.
Chloe: No, don’t say that.
Philip: Why not? It’s true. I mean, have you ever known her to have a hair out of place? She wakes up looking like a beauty queen. Belle is all about appearances. And as my wife, she gets a blank check. Designer clothes. Shoes. House. And me to complete the picture. That’s all it is, you know, a picture. An illusion.
Chloe: You make her sound so shallow.
Philip: Well she’s not deep.
Chloe: I don’t believe that. I really do think she loves you.
Philip: She loves Shawn.
Chloe: Haven’t you ever been in love with two people at the same time?
Philip looked into Chloe’s eyes and he ran his thumb back and forth over her hand, which he continued to hold between his.
Philip: Truth or dare?
Chloe: What??
Philip: I have a question for you. Truth or dare?
Chloe: Was that the question?
Philip: Very funny. Truth or dare?
Chloe: Um. I don’t think I have a choice. Truth.
Philip: This is something I’ve wanted to ask you for a long time. ... Why ... why did you choose Brady over me?


To be continued ...

[MrsM]

Ooooohhhhh my goodness. Will she be able to answer that?

[jc20886]

what will her answer be

[mae00]

Talk about putting someone on the spot! Dang Phillip! He went for the jugular - just can't decide if it was his own or Chloe's.....

[fluffysmom]

Love this .....She hadn’t even realized she was watching Philip sleep. It was all so surreal, being here with Philip, no one knowing where they were, feeling things she shouldn’t be feeling.

I really like hearing them voice their innermost thoughts to each other. Chloe's statement about being careful what you wish for is so accurate.

I can hardly wait to see how Chloe answers Philip's question.

[ghoulgirl]

Whooo hoo. I loved this. Their getting closer with words and not other things. Then again, I want that too. HEHE.

Looking forward to tomorrows installment. Thanks kpatch!
