The next morning, Dana woke up and she felt someone's arms wrapped around her body. She looked and she saw Leo sleeping next to her with his arms wrapped around her. His steady breathing was reassuring to her as she watched him sleep. She quietly got out of his light grasp on her and she went to the kitchen to make breakfast. Leo woke up with his usual, biological time clock. He heard Dana in the kitchen and followed her.

"Good morning Dana. I hope you did not mind me sleeping over last night."

"No, I didn't mind at all. In fact, I really enjoyed you keeping me company. It gets lonely here a lot because I live alone and I have no family," She said with a distant, sad expression in her eyes. "Anyway I hope you like the breakfast I made you," she said.

"Thank you, Dana. I appreciate your hospitality," he bowed to her and sat at the table, eating the breakfast and complimenting her cooking. He was glad she was so nice to him. Not many people were nice to mutated talking turtles.

"No prob Leo, anytime. You are welcomed here anytime you want to come," she sat down eating her breakfast as well. After that, she washed the dishes then went to go change the gauze on her knee and re-cleaned it with peroxide. Leo went over to her in her bathroom and wanted to look at her knee.

"Dana is it okay if I check your knee?"

"No, I don't mind Leo. You can check it."

So he carefully put his hands on her knee and checked her injury and looked at her. Little did he know that soft gentle touch of his hands on her skin was making her feel all good inside.

"Hmm, it's pretty bad Dana, but it's not deep. With time it'll heal."

"Thanks so much Leo," she said.

Leo nodded his head.
"Please be more careful next time, Dana. I hate to see you get hurt," his voice was gentle and sweet.

"Ok, I will but I got it while I was running after the guy who stole my purse and I fell and I scraped my knee. That's all but I will be more careful from now on. I just wish I got my purse back though," she sighed.

"The thief is probably already hiding and untraceable, Dana. I am not a detective nor Batman to do it," he smiled a little.

"I suppose not Leo," she began laughing. She laughed so hard she thought her insides were going to explode. "Besides they are only material possessions which I don't really care for anyway."

"I think putting cash and your identification card into your pockets next time will prevent robberies such as these," he suggested to her.

"Yeah, that's probably true. Although a punk could just as easily steal them from any pocket anyway," she laughed and then gave Leo a smile. "Well Leo, you should probably get going. I've got to go to work and your brothers are probably wondering where you are. Thanks for being here Leo. I greatly appreciate it."

"Well if that's what you want. I would never refuse you anything. I'll see you later Dana?"

"Yeah, see you later. Bye Leo."

"Bye Dana," and with that he jumped out her window, went up the fire escape and then disappeared from sight.

"Aww, did you guys go all the way?" Mikey teased his brother Leo when he finally made it home. Leo sent him an angry glare.

"She is a respectful woman. She would never have sexual intercourse on the first date."

Dana got ready for work. She got dressed and went to her job. She made it to the florist shop doing what she always does. She was taking orders and designing flowers when suddenly a criminal came into the store asking for money.

"Give me all the money in the register and you won't get hurt girly," he said to her. Fearing for her life, she quickly filled up the bag with all the cash and quickly gave it to him. He left without another word.
