Background: Episode starts where Steve is working out and Kayla walks in–they kiss. She has been going through counseling and filed for divorce from Jack . She and Steve are later shocked when Jack refuses to grant Kayla a divorce. Steve tells him off and tells him to leave them alone–but Jack promises he isn’t through with them. Still Kayla and Steve were both relieved that Kayla had come to a point where she felt she could move forward. Steve says it killed him to feel Kayla slipping away from him, he realized she is the most important thing in his life. Kayla she wants to counsel/help other rape victims and has to go to New York for a class that lasts a week. Steve doesn’t want to be apart from her right now–especially now. Kayla says that the class, and helping others in the same situation, is important to her.
Kayla asks if Steve understands, and he says he does, adding “I love you for it.”
(they have dinner and dance & kiss)
Then the scene, short but sweet, begins:
Steve: “I’m going to miss you”
Kayla: “I’m going to miss you too, but it’s only a week”
Steve: “That’s a long time…it doesn’t make sense, for a man who has been alone most of his life to miss somebody the way I’m going to miss you. Even a day is too much…”
Kayla: “I’m surprised you feel that way… because I feel that way too”
Steve: “You know something? You’r really incredible. I don’t know too many people who would go through what you went through and then turn it around and use it to help other people. I feel so proud. I never loved anybody like I love you.”
