"When she walked down the sidewalk, she didn't know if she was the first person to walk that path, or the second person, or the only person," he continued to People.
Meanwhile, Theresa told the outlet: "I never thought I was the only one... I was confident, but then, let's see, actually, if this is really happening."

"When he offered me the fantasy suite card, I took it very enthusiastically because I really wanted to get into it," she tells People . "That's what we do."
Turner further revealed that after watching the episode of "Fantasy Suite," he called Teresa to express his love.
"After that episode, I called Teresa and I said, 'You know, I just watched myself fall in love with you,'" he added.
