After hearing that his driver would be fine, both Knox and Gina decided to go home. Luckily, they were able to escape media attention in order to do so. Sally was the driver, Knox and Gina in the back, sitting close, anticipating the time when they'd be alone but for now, there was Sally and with Sally, came questions.
"So Knox," she began, meeting his gaze through the rearview mirror. Knox looked up to her and seeing the look she gave, he straightened himself for what was to come.
"What was the relationship like with Lisa?"
Taken aback, Knox clenched his teeth. "I don't think that's any of your business, Sally. Its not your question to ask," he replied, his voice firm.
Gina shifted in her seat. "I'd like to know," she said, causing Knox to snap his gaze towards her, his analysis skeptical as he studied her, wanting to see if it was a joke. He didn't find the question hard to answer but he wasn't particularly fond of discussing his personal issues in the company of those he wasn't exactly comfortable around. But he had no intentions of keeping anything from Gina, neither was he going to make it seem like he was.
He sighed. "There was nothing between us. She was my best friend but being constantly in and out of rehab left us no chance to even maintain the friendship," he explained, his gaze on Gina.
"So you were celibate for five years?" Sally continued without so much as a breather.
"Wh-" he was about to argue when yet again, Gina's expression told him to answer.
Clearing his throat, he replied, "No," he said, hanging his head and avoiding Gina's gaze. "I had a few flings here and there."
"So you cheated?" Sally put in.
"I- what is this?" Knox snapped, glancing from Sally to Gina who was now looking at anything but him. Knox's heart plummeted at the possibility of her blocking him out again. He was quick to explain.
"What Lisa and I had, wasn't real. It was just on paper and the wedding was just a big show to convince the media otherwise. We both knew that and I only went out a few times when I wasn't busy taking care of everything else."
"Don't you think it would've been easier to just tell Gina instead of disappearing for years?"
Knox pulled in a lengthy breath. "I do now but I was scared for my relationship with Gina, I was scared for Lisa and I was scared for April. I acted on impulse and it was stupid of me to and it'll always be something that I'll regret."
Silence intervened for a brief moment, pressing on the lips of every single person in the car, until Sally decided to break it.
"If you both plan to move forward, what about April?" Sally asked, her tone slightly malicious.
"I-"
"We're here," Gina finally said, putting a halt on the conversation as Sally stopped the car. "Thanks for everything Sal, I'll talk to you tomorrow."
