"Well, I'd say my luck's gotten better." Leo said, as he and Greenlee walked into SOS, "Getting taken out to lunch and dinner on the same day?"
"I figured after your encounter with Vanessa," Greenlee explained with a smile, "you needed a little pick-me-up."
"It's not that big of a deal, Greens." Leo comforted, putting an arm around her.
"How can you say that?" Greenlee wondered, staring up at him, "You ended up in the hospital because of her, Leo!"
"But I'm still here." Leo reminded, looking around S.O.S., "Looks like you're not the only Fusion gal who decided to come here tonight. Come on, let's go say hi to Simone."
As Leo led her over to the table, Greenlee noticed that Simone wasn't alone. She could see Carlos watching them with interest as they walked over. Seeing Carlos' interested glance, Simone turned around. Upon seeing Leo and Greenlee, she got up from her chair.
"There they are!" Simone exclaimed, hugging Leo, "Oh, Leo! It's so good to see you! Do you even know how much you've been missed around here?"
"I'm finding out pretty fast." Leo replied, turning to Carlos, "Hey."
"What's up, du Pres?" Carlos greeted, giving Leo five, "The Count told me that you were back around these parts. It's good to see you, man."
"What?" Greenlee asked, as she and Simone looked curiously from Carlos to Leo, "You two know each other?"
"Reyes was my bodyguard while I was in France." Leo explained as Carlos simply smiled, "However, I sent him over here to keep an eye on things for me."
"I would have said something," Carlos added, looking at Greenlee, "but your husband made me swear that I wouldn't tell you."
"It's all right." Greenlee assured, "But what about those e-mails?"
She was referring to a bunch of mysterious, romantic e-mails that she had received over the past few months, which Carlos claimed to have sent.
"The real author is standing beside you." Carlos explained with a smile.
"You mean..." Greenlee realized, looking at Leo.
"Guilty as charged." Leo confirmed with a smile.
As Simone started a conversation about Fusion with Greenlee, Carlos pulled Leo over to the side of the room, and away from the two ladies.
"I heard someone say that you ended up in the hospital today." Carlos informed, looking curiously at Leo.
"It's nothing." Leo dismissed, waving Carlos off, "I just had a little encounter with my mother."
"So," Carlos figured, "the rumors were true then? Both of you survived your accident at Miller's Falls?"
"It appears that way, doesn't it?" Leo replied.
"So, what do you want to do about it?" Carlos asked, as Leo sighed.
"I don't know." Leo admitted, looking at Greenlee, "But I do know that Vanessa definitely needs to be taken care of."
"You will call me if anything pops up, right?" Carlos said, putting a hand on Leo's shoulder, "I mean, I did promise your dad that I would continue to keep an eye on you."
"Definitely." Leo agreed.

"You know," Leo commented, as he laid back in bed that same night, "I don't think that I can ever want to be anywhere else besides here again."
"I know." Greenlee said, sitting on her side of the bed, "This is where I want to be as well. You know, Leo, I'm really glad that you confirmed that Guy was your father."
"Why's that, Greens?" Leo wondered, looking at her curiously.
"One of us has at least one parent our children can look up to." Greenlee replied with a smile, as Leo groaned, "What?"
"No offense, Greenlee." Leo replied, putting a hand to his forehead, "But, if my memory is correct, we have spent enough time in the past talking about that. Didn't we decide that as long as we have each other, we don't need anyone else?"
"You have to admit, Leo," Greenlee said, lying down, "it does make it feel like old times."
"What if we did something else that is reminiscent of old times?" Leo suggested with a seductive smile, "Something much, much better than talking about our parents?"
"I like the way you think, du Pres." Greenlee said, returning his smile.
