Hope for Love Page #2

---

But you just gone.

You were dealing

with people's hearts.

And people's lives.

You should've been

more careful.

I want another chance.

Ever since you

left me there's been this void.

And nothing can fill it.

You're a piece of my life.

I've tried this, I've tried that.

And nothing can

fill that void.

If you thought

that strongly about me

you would have taken care

of your business

when you had the chance.

I'm married now.

You're married?

Yep.

I mean, it's not the greatest

relationship,

but it's what

I had to do to move on.

I had to take myself off

of your roller coaster

and get back to me.

Are you happy?

I am.

That's all that matters.

Well, we better get back.

I gotta take some

time to process this.

Okay, so you're saying

that if I wanna change

my flight to come home early

I have to pay a change fee,

and the flight difference.

And that's $600.

Yeah, I can't

afford that... thanks.

When is the next train

to Charlotte?

Nothing until tomorrow.

My phone is dead

and I lost my charger.

I'll get another one tomorrow.

I'm sorry.

What are you doing now?

You're gonna leave me after

you cheat on me

with that ho-ass

secretary of yours?

You're gonna leave after you stick

a knife in my chest

and now you wanna twist it?

Go to hell, Ricky.

Go to hell.

I hate you.

Teresa.

You know, life is like

Sandy Koufax.

Who the hell

is Sandy Koufax?

See that's the problem

with you young bucks.

You don't take time

out to learn your history.

How do you know where

you're going

if you don't know

where you come from?

How do you answer

a question with a question?

Sandy Koufax had one of the greatest

curve balls of all times.

He could throw

a no-hitter with just his curve balls.

Mm, I'm sorry, I'm not

into sports.

Yeah?

Well, you just threw me one of

the wickedest curve balls I've ever seen.

Okay.

What are you afraid of?

I'm afraid of

waking up one day

and realizing that

I'm a failure

as a man, as a professional

as a human being.

I'm afraid of not living up

to my full potential.

Wow...

and I'm

just afraid of spiders.

Well, if I see them, I'll stomp

them for you.

You amaze me.

I would like... I would like

to stay up top.

How long

are we gonna run?

Come on, that's just three miles.

You gotta push yourself.

Do you control your brain...

or your emotions?

My emotions

are telling my legs I need to stop.

Take a deep breath.

I need to sit.

All right, all right,

calm down.

Something about running

makes you think.

I make all my life

decisions when I run.

Oh?

So what did you decide

about me this time?

I decided...

I want to be with you.

Don't play with me,

Ethan, not again.

I can't go

through this again.

Last time, it was just me.

And this time, I'd be

giving up too much.

Shh...

Calm down, calm down.

Come on, just...

Just lean into the curve ball.

I got you, baby, I got you.

I got you,

I got you, mama.

All right?

It's all good?

I had a great time tonight.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

Is he okay?

That's all I care about.

I'll be with him soon.

You know, I'm sick

of pretending.

You don't judge me.

You let me be myself.

Why would I want you

to be anybody else?

I'm just sick

of pretending.

I've been pretending

for years.

Pretending to be over you.

Pretending to love someone

just to pacify my pain.

I just feel

so free right now.

Sure about this?

I want this

and I don't care about

the consequences.

Okay, I've never fished

before in my life.

I don't get it.

This is a beautiful church,

isn't it?

Yeah, but you can just feel

your blood pressure

drop when you pass it.

Absolutely.

Maybe one day you

and I could walk down

the aisles of a church.

Yeah.

All I want to hear

about is Jacob.

Is he eating

and sleeping okay?

He won't sleep.

He keeps crying for you.

It's like, he's depressed.

And your husband, he's called here

like 30 times apologizing.

You gotta ask God's full forgiveness

in your heart.

You need

to stop playing around

and you need to get back

to your family.

This ain't right.

I'm just letting

you know about yourself right now.

Who's Jacob?

My son.

We have a son.

Why didn't you

tell me you had a kid?

We can still make it work.

I can't...

I can't do this.

I have to go home.

Teresa, Teresa!

I have been looking

for you for so long.

And I was overjoyed that

I found you.

But sometimes people

are placed in your life for reasons

other than the ones

that you want.

Sometimes it's

for a much higher purpose.

Ethan, you are a wonderful man

and you'll make any woman

in the world

the happiest

woman in the world.

But you taught me two of

the greatest lessons

that I've ever learned.

Sometimes life is all

about patience.

And life is like

the great Sandy Koufax.

It'll always throw you

a curve ball.

Lean into it.

Love always, Teresa.

I want another chance.

Sure about this?

I want this and I don't care about

the consequences.

I got you,

I got you, mama.

Hey...

Teresa.

Oh, I'm so happy

you're here.

So how was your flight,

how was everything?

It was okay.

What's wrong with you?

What's going on?

Just a lot on my mind.

Is he still awake?

He's asleep.

Please, SpongeBob couldn't

keep him up this late.

I wanna go see him.

They kind of complicate

things, don't they?

I thought you were

knocked out for the night.

I wish.

You want some tea?

Is there liquor

in there?

I suppose

I can arrange that.

Then yes.

All right, okay.

Thank you.

Mmhmm.

Mmm...

You know, you should

take him back.

Oh, grow up, Teresa.

I'm sorry to be

the one to tell you this,

but... cheating... that's

what men do.

Yeah?

Not my man.

I don't need him.

Oh, you don't need a man?

No.

I don't believe that.

I think you

always needed a man.

I don't remember a time that you

were ever alone

since you

were like 15 years old.

You've always needed

a man.

And you do need a man.

I also think

you need to learn

how to open up your heart

to forgiveness.

Why are you

taking up for Ricky?

I mean, you warned

me about him.

You told me that he was

a pig before I even married him.

I did, I did.

But you were so

headstrong

and you

married him anyway.

And out of that you got Jacob.

And that is

the biggest blessing.

I just... I want you

to be happy

And I don't want

you to make the same mistakes

that I made.

Mistake... you and Roger?

That's different.

That was a car crash.

We fought.

Everyone fights.

Teresa...

We fought...

the night he died.

We fought.

We had an argument.

He got pissed

off and he stormed out.

I just...

want you to find room in your heart

for forgiveness, okay?

Talk to him at least.

I don't want you to wonder

"what if" or wonder...

if you gave up too soon.

Can you

do that for me?

Hm, you look good.

Teresa, can

I at least come in?

I wanna see Jacob.

You left me, Ricky,

and dumped him here.

You don't get to just waltz

in on your terms.
