After a long silence , Teresa finally found the courage to speak . " Troy , you don't have to do this for me . I can't handle it ." Troy stepped closer to her , urgency in his voice . " No - Teresa , you can .

You deserve it , more than anyone ." Teresa instinctively retreated a step , her heart tightening . She really didn't want to keep pushing this conversation any further . After a few seconds , Teresa suddenly looked up at Troy , her voice awkward as she changed the topic . " Charles isn't going to let you see Andrew behind bars . " Troy narrowed his eyes , voice icy .

Your eyes can't lie ." Teresa scoffed , " I just don't want you getting tangled up in my mess with the Logan family for no reason . You're not really part of this , Troy - you're just an outsider .

As she found the first aid kit , Teresa noticed a photo frame sitting on the coffee table .

She glanced over , and to her surprise , it was a picture of herself .
