Tess:(looks at her paper)I am doing this for your mother.

Tyler:And not because of me? (acts hurt and sad)I am truly hurt over this..I mean here I thought this was a way for you and I to see each other.

Cooper:Interesting.

Allison:Speaking of scoring a deal..Tyler has a job interview with Tess.

Jacob:Losing her?

Buck:Have you ever felt like something is going on right infront of you and you're not seeing it?

Jacob:Sometimes.

Buck:Lately I have been (walks ot the bench)feeling that way like Tess is up to something or is hiding something from me and I dont know what it is.

Jacob:She has been stressed out for awhile now.(walks over to him)

Buck:I know and it's due to the fashion show but it's like that trip to Paris..right before she left she was okay and normal but then she comes back and she's different.

Jacob:Maybe it's a midlife crisis?

Buck:I accused her of cheating on me.

Jacob:(cant believe that)Excuse me..Tess cheating on you? I dont think so

BucK:What else am I suppose to think? I mean I dont want to think her cancer is returning.

Jacob:Have you asked her what it is?

Buck:No and I am afraid to because I dont know what the answer might be...she's not herself I can say that.

[Wilder Modeling Agency,Tess's office]

Tess:What do you want from me? I said it was over between us.

Tyler:Tess Tess Tess do you honestly believe that?

Tess:Do you see this (points to her ring)it's a symbol of trust,honor and love something that you dont have in your life.

Tyler:(gets up)It's funny to me that you said those words because in Paris at the hotel room we shared those nights the only trust you had was with me..not Buck and not that damn ring..

Tess:(stands up and feels confused)I love Buck..he's my husband.

Tyler:Hmm I wonder how he would feel if I told him that his loving wife for so many years had an affair with somebody half his age,wonder how he would feel about that?

Tess:(on the verge of tears)If you tell him I will--

Tyler:(stands right infront of her)Do what? Tess you can't tell me it's over...

Tess:(sighs in a whisper tone)It's over.

(Tyler grabs Tess into a passionate kiss as Tess responds back as outside of her office Brianna walks to her door ready to come inside)
