Pre-1x08 episode
April/Leo:
I only have a few more days until my life changes. There are so many things that I need to do still and it's so hard to get everything accomplished. With the way that things have been going lately, nothing good has come out of it. I take that back. Leo has been a great help to me outside the group session. He gave me his blessing to do that piece on his father and it won me a spot on the paper. Leo's also been there to there to take my mind off of me having cancer and having fun. I'm not sure what I would have done without his help.
As I daydream in yoga class, the person who I happen to be thinking about walks into the room. I can't help but stare at him. He catches me and I look down. I can't help but pretend it's all a dream.
"You know April, if all it took was joining you in yoga class to get that type of reaction from you, I would have done it a long time ago."
He throws me a wink and a smile and all I could do was groan. I didn't have a witty comeback and he knew it. As I was pondering my next move, he moved his yoga mat closer to me. I couldn't help be flustered by the close contact.
"April, are you okay? You don't look so great. Maybe we should take you to the hospital."
"I'm fine Leo. It's just a bit hot in here. I'm not used to sweating this badly."
"Are you sure? I can't have anything happen to my cancer friend."
Why did Leo have to be so concerned? I can see it in his face that he's worried about me. I just want to throw my arms around him and give him a hug at this moment but I don't. I don't want to lead him on.
"Yeah I'm sure Leo. I guess the symptoms are slowly catching up to me. I'm worn out from the stress of work, worrying about my family and trying to be positive about this cancer."
"You know what you need cancer friend, a night out on the town with me. It's nothing fancy. We can just grab a bite to eat and head to a club."
"I don't know Leo."
"Come on…Let your hair down and have some fun. I'm not taking no for an answer."
"Fine. When and where?"
"I'll pick you up. Just dress how you want."
"This place were going, it's not going to land me in jail is it?"
"No, why would you think that?"
"Okay, the thing with the car I get. I promise to not do anything to call attention to you."
"1 hour and I'll be ready. Give me your phone so I can give you my address."
"That won't be necessary. I already know where you live."
"I don't even want to know how you know where I live. Don't be late."
"Sheesh…you're so demanding when you're frustrated."
April glares at Leo and all he can do is laugh as she walks away.
Leo shakes his head and says to himself "She has no idea how cute she looks in that attire. It was so hard to not want to just grab her and kiss her on her lips."
