Leo:

He walks to the fairgrounds after making a quick phone call to someone he knew. Leo knew he screwed up and hoped that April would give him the chance to explain his actions. If not, then he had a backup in plan in place. Either way, he hoped his girlfriend hadn't given on him quite yet.

…

Brenna/April:

"Where did you go Brenna?"

"I just went to clear my head. It's been one of those days."

"Everything alright between you and Greer?"

"Yeah were good. I was just thinking about how happy I am."

"I'm happy for you Brenna. Greer is very sweet. I like her a lot."

"I guess I should the same for you and Leo."

"What in the world are you talking about? There is nothing going on between Leo and me. We are just friends."

"So do you go kissing all your friends like that? I mean it wasn't hard to miss. Guess I shouldn't be surprised though."

April had no comeback for Brenna's words and tried to defend it but decided to ignore it. She wasn't sure what she and Leo were anymore after that whole Dominic fiasco.

"You should hear him out first before you judge his actions. I'm sure he's trying hard to deal with an ex competing with the present."

"Thanks Brenna."

"Don't screw this one up April. I think Leo is good for you and I like him too."

…..

Graham/Beth:

"That was weird. Everyone seemed to have split from us. Do you think it was something I said?"

"I'm sure it's nothing. They probably wanted to be alone and hang out."

"I don't know. When I brought up Dominic, it looked like April was trying to avoid the conversation. Did it seem like that to you?"

"No. I'm sure she just wasn't expected to get that curve ball thrown her way. I'm sure she misses Dominic as much as you."

"Yeah, you're probably right. She's hanging out with Leo probably to get a scoop on his dad's campaign or something. She is a writer after all."

"I'm sure that's it Graham. Enough about them. Let's go and have some fun."

Beth smiles at him and hopes for the life of her that it's just that. She doesn't think she could explain the situation to Graham if Leo and April was a couple.

….

Brenna/Greer/April/Leo:

"April, Greer and I are going to take off and ride the rollercoaster and play some games. You are more than welcome to hang out with us if you like."

"No it's okay. I'm going to wait right here and wait for Leo. He'll be back soon. I don't want to abandon him since he brought me here and all."

"I don't think you'll have to wait long. Leo's headed this way."

"You guys go and have fun. I'll catch up to you guys later."

Brenna and Greer leave April back at the table and Leo then takes a sit right across from April. He was really nervous and April didn't understand why. She was the one who felt like she did something wrong and was going to apologize. All these thoughts were spinning in her head that she didn't hear one thing Leo just said.

"April, hey you alright?"

"What, yeah I'm fine. I was just zoning out for a moment. What were you saying?"

"I was talking about our relationship."

"I'm listening Leo."

"Look April, I want to apologize for how I acted earlier when Graham mentioned Dominic. It was a bit awkward to say the least especially since no one knows that we are a couple. It's hard to not come out and just tell him that he's wrong about you and Dominic getting back with one another. I should have given you the benefit of the doubt before I jumped to conclusions. You've always been honest with me and never kept secrets. I guess that I'm just intimidated by the ex-boyfriend even though he's not here. I'm sorry for hurting your feelings too. It wasn't my intention to make you feel uncomfortable. I hope that I haven't screwed up too much. Will you please accept my apology?"

April grabs Leo's hands and smiles at him. She draws little circles in the palms of his hand before replying, reassuring him that things would be alright.

"Thank you for that. I accept your apology. You have nothing to worry about with Dominic. He is my past and you are the present. I did get a snow globe from him, but that was right before you picked me up to bring me here to the fair. I didn't have a chance to reply to him and I didn't feel like I needed too at the moment. He was the furthest thing from my mind. Leo, I meant what I said on the beach. I really like you and definitely want you as my boyfriend. We have something unique and that's why I really wanted to enjoy our time alone."

"I guess I'm just jealous. I mean you can have any guy and yet you're with me. It's hard to accept that since I'm not usually the type of guy people choose."

"You shouldn't be so hard on yourself Leo. There are many great qualities about you. The thing I really like about you is that you don't draw attention to yourself. You tend to do things from your heart. That to me makes it even more special."

"Have I told you how much I love having you as a girlfriend?"

"No, but I don't mind the compliments."

"Are you fishing for compliments? If you are, I can show you instead of telling you."

Leo gets up from the table and pulls April into his lap. He kisses her on her forehead, her eyes, and her cheeks and around her mouth before he gives her a kiss on her lips. She leans into his shoulder and puts her head down.

"I'm really happy Leo. Thank you for everything and not giving up on yourself and us."
