Yes, I can hold... David said over the phone in the hospital waiting area. A few moments later he spoke again. Hi, yes. I was put on hold...I'm trying to get together some funeral arrangements...For as soon as possible...Tonight, Tonight's fine...Wildwind...Leo du Pres...My name...David...no, Hayward...That'll be fine...And yellow roses...perfect, thank you. Thank you very much. David hung up the phone and walked back over to a group of chairs where Trey and Anna sat.

Everything's taken care of, David said. They've moved the service to tonight.

Trey said, shocked. That doesn't give us much time. Are you sure Greenlee's ready to be released today? I mean after all she's been through.

Physically, she's ready to be released, David said. There's no use keeping her here forever.

Can I do anything?

Yes. Yeah, you can put in a call to as many people as you can. Let them know that the funeral is tonight at seven o'clock at Wildwind.

Seven o'clock at Wildwind. Sure.

Are you going to tell Greenlee? Anna asked.

David paused. I'll make sure she's ready to go. David slowly walked towards Greenlee's room and gently knocked on the door before he entered.

Greenlee stood by the edge of her bed her suitcase open. They make you bring so many things when you come in here, Greenlee sniffled, wiping away her tears. And all you wear is that stupid gown.

David smiled weakly as he approached her. Are you alright?

For now, Greenlee said. It might be a different story once I get back to the Loft though.

David said. I took care of the funeral arrangements for Leo. Greenlee stopped packing for a moment. It's set for tonight.

I don't know if I can go, David, Greenlee said. I can't say goodbye. I'm not ready to say goodbye.

I don't think we'll ever be ready for that, David told her. But...it's time, Greenlee. Let Leo live on where it really matters. He brought his hand up to her heart. In here.

He's always been there. Even when he was alive. Leo...He had this...this thing about him. He made an impression on people.

He was a great guy.

Greenlee wiped here eyes once again. The greatest. Greenlee closed her suitcase. I'll be out in a minute.

Take your time, David said. We'll be waiting right outside. David turned and began to exit the room when Greenlee called to him.

she said. Can we keep this baby thing between us for now?

David said. You don't have to say anything until you're ready.

Thanks, David.

David nodded. I'll be outside. He turned and exited the room.

How is she? Anna asked him.

Under the circumstances? David said. I'd say she's holding up pretty well.

How about you?

What about me?

Leo was your brother, Anna said. It would be normal for you to feel...

David asked her. It's not the word, Anna. I just wish I had a little more time to get to know him.

He cared for you very much.

Leo cared for everyone. David brought his hand up and rubbed his eyes. He was such a good...

...hearted person. He always put others before himself, David said as he stood in front of Leo's casket at Wildwind. Leo had a way to light up a room when he walked in. He did manage to find happiness for himself when he met and married Greenlee Smythe. And I think that he was truly the happiest when he was with you, Greenlee. We are all blessed having known Leo, even if it was for such a short time. David turned and faced Leo's casket. We're all going to miss you, Leo.

David paused a moment, then walked back over and sat beside Greenlee. She took a hold of his hands, the tears beginning to roll down her cheeks. Greenlee slowly rose, wiping the tears from her eyes and approached the casket.

There wasn't...nearly enough time for Leo here, Greenlee said trying to hold back her tears. Greenlee paused and glanced out over the sea of faces who had come to bid farewell to her husband. Greenlee sniffled. I can't imagine what my life would have been like if I hadn't met Leo. He was the center of my world. He wasn't only my husband, he was my best friend. He helped me see myself in a new light and...he never gave up on me...He risked his life for... Greenlee started wailing and fell to her knees.

David jumped up out of his seat and quickly walked up to Greenlee. He tried to get her to her feet, but it was almost impossible. Come on, Greenlee, David whispered to her. It's alright. It's OK.

Why did you have to go? Greenlee bawled. Oh, God, Leo, you were my whole world.

David tried to help her up again, this time successfully. Let's go for a walk, OK? he said trying to calm her down. Let's go get some air.

No. No, Greenlee said. I'm fine. I'm OK. I want to stay here.

Just step outside for a minute. We'll be right back. OK? Greenlee?

Greenlee slowly took David's arm and he led her outside. Greenlee took a seat right outside the door and wiped her eyes again as David crouched beside her.

I promised myself before we came here that I wouldn't cry, she said without breaking her forward stare. We see how well that worked.

You know that it's OK to cry for him, Greenlee, David said.

No. Leo wouldn't want that. He wouldn't want anyone to cry for him.

I think you're wrong, Greenlee. I think that Leo would be touched to know how much everyone loved him.

I hope that he knew that when he was still here.

He knew. He knew you loved him. And he loved you more than life itself, Greenlee. Greenlee wiped her eyes again. Are you going to be OK? Greenlee nodded. Maybe you shouldn't go back to the Loft tonight. I'll get you a room at the Valley Inn.

I'll be alright, Greenlee sniffled. I need to get back there.

David stood. he said, extending his hand. Are you ready to go back inside?

Go ahead. I'll be there in a minute. David nodded weakly and placed his hand on her shoulder before turning around and walking back inside.

Greenlee waited a moment and then stood. It was dark, and there was a cool breeze that filled the air. She pushed her hair back behind her ears as she stood staring out at the star lit sky. Greenlee was silent for a moment but then, through her tears, she was able to speak.

Goodbye, my love.

It was almost as dark outside the door to the Loft as it had been outside. Greenlee's hand began to tremble as she unlocked the door and memories returned to her.

Greenlee, I explained to you... Leo said.

Greenlee answered. I know, I know. Suddenly you've become caretaker for your whole dysfunctional clan. My God, what happened to you?

I haven't changed.

You said we'd leave as soon as you were free. Well, she paused. You're free and I have a job in Paris. There's nothing keeping us here.

And I explained to you that...

That you have to stick around for a bunch of nut jobs who have manipulated you.

Leo said. Don't blame them for any of this, please.

You're right, Greenlee said. You're right. It's your fault for letting them get to you when you should be all mine.

I am. And I always will be.

I don't know what that means anymore. I married a man who was romantic and had adventure and he's morphed into this...this social worker slash family therapist slash nursemaid for the neurotic.

I just... I just want to be there for them.

Well, I don't want to stick around Pine Valley while you do it.

Greenlee, please just...that's not fair.

I'm not being fair? Greenlee exclaimed. You promised me Paris. You promised me street musicians and croissants.

I know, Leo explained, trying to calm her. I know. And that's what you're going to have and more.

I want it all now.

Greenlee, please be reasonable.

No, I can't. I can't, because if I'm reasonable, we'll never get out of here.

That's not true, Greenlee.

It's up to you, Leo. What are we going to do? Do we go now or never?

It can't be now.

Then it's never.

Greenlee stood there still holding the doorknob, unable to enter. the tears streamed uncontrollably down her face. She couldn't go inside. Greenlee turned and ran out of the building and to her car. She started the engine and began to drive, her mind wandering back again.

I thought our marriage's one and only fight was over, Greenlee said.

It is, Leo assured her. It is. You're right. There is part of me that doesn't want to leave my family behind right now. But...and I know they're not the most conventional group, Greenlee, but they're mine. And there would be a huge hole in my life if I left them...

Got it, Leo. Got it.

But...but if you're having this feeling, this doomsday scenario in Pine Valley, then I'm going to believe that because you were right before. So let's just get the hell out of here. Let's go tonight. Greenlee took off running from Leo. He followed after her. he called. Where are you? Leo looked around, finding Greenlee crying. Greenlee, what's wrong?

I'll die if I lose you, she said.

You're not going to lose me.

But I can't do it.

Do what?

I can't take you away from your family when you're not ready.

Honey, we just had this conversation. I won.

Oh, come on, Leo. we both know what caused my panic attack.

We do?

I got too close.

To what?

Greenlee stated. Paris. Living there with my husband. I mean, that's been my dream since I got my bonjour Barbie. Suddenly it seemed so real that I just freaked out.

Leo corrected her. You freaked out when you offered to stay in Pine Valley.

Greenlee said. Anyway, Paris isn't going anywhere and I really need to brush up on my tense verbs. You know that indefinite tense kills me.

Leo said confused. I...I normally get you, but tonight I'm lost. So staying in Pine Valley gives you the shakes, and going to Paris makes you sob. So I'm just going to ask you straight out, and I need you to answer me straight out from the heart, OK?

Do you want to go to Paris or not?

I want to stay in Pine Valley.

Greenlee now stood at the door, not knowing where else to go. After pausing a moment to wipe her eyes, she knocked, continuously until someone answered.

David said surprised, swinging the door open.

I can't do it, David, Greenlee said. I just can't go in there. David moved aside allowing Greenlee to enter and closed the cabin door behind her. They make you think that all the time we spent together this past year would make it easier to say goodbye, Greenlee said. But I look back at it and want more. We could have... we should have had so much more. But now he's gone. Leo's gone, David. And no matter how much I try, no matter what memories I hold onto...when I open the door to the Loft, I still expect Leo to be standing there waiting for me. When I go to bed at night, I still think that he should be next to me. But he's not. And when I wake up, I hope that it was all just a bad dream. The hospital, the falls, everything. But I get up, and Leo's still gone, and I'm still in Pine Valley, and I'm still pregnant...with a child who Leo will never know. David went to put his arm around Greenlee, to lead her to a chair, when she embraced him. You've been the one solid person through this whole thing, David.

David took hold of her shoulders pushing her back from him a bit and looked into her eyes. he said. I'll be there for you anyway I can be.

And you have been there for me... Through all of this, Greenlee said as David's hand came up and his fingers gently caressed her face. And I...don't know how... Greenlee's words trailed off as David leaned down, his lips locking with hers. They kissed eachother passionately not once stopping to think of what was going on.
