"Paige," Spinner whispered. "Paige, wake up."
Paige was still laying on her bed, fast asleep. When Spinner was gone for just a while to get some stuff from his house, Paige staggered to the mini bar and was passed out drunk by the time Spinner got back.
"uhrh," Paige mumbled. "I'm tired. Just a few more minutes...hours."
"No, Paige wake up," Spinner said. "We are meeting Hazel for lunch."
"Uh, okay," Paige said, and sat up. "I do not remember what happened, why is it almost noon? And..."
Her voice trailed off and her eyes grew wide as she realized that Spinner had been in her room when she woke up.
"Uh, Spin, did we?" Paige started to ask.
Realizing what she was asking, Spinner quickly reassured her that no, they hadn't done anything wrong, just that they had come after being at the school.
Paige's eyes grew watery.
"The school," she whispered. "Is Craig okay?"
"Yeah, he will be all right. But right now you have to go get ready. We are having lunch and then your flight is leaving, unless you want to postpone it," Spinner said with a hint of hopefulness in his voice.
"No," Paige said. "I have to get back to work, and as sad as it makes me, I don't want to be here right now. But not because of you. It breaks my heart to leave you, just, the school and all."
Spinner nodded, although he still felt sadness tugging at his heart. He was losing her again.
Paige leaned in and kissed him. Spinner kissed her back, but then pulled apart before they got distracted, and told her to get ready. Paige nodded and left for the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Manny sat by Craig's bed, reading him the cards that he had already gotten. After a while, Craig got bored and reached over, taking the card from Manny's hand.
"Let's talk about...us," he said.
Manny nodded.
"I think that I want to be with you forever, but I don't know if you feel the same way," Craig said.
"Of course I do. I always have Craig. I love you," Manny said.
Craig sat up and leaned towards Manny, and they kissed.
"Now, the only thing I worry about is the fact that this may be the pain medication talking," Manny said.
"Never," Craig said, kissing her again.
"Ehem, children," a voice said. Looking up, Manny groaned. It was the tyrant nurse. For some reason she hated to see Manny with Craig.
"Craig, time for some more medication," she sneered.
"Nurse," Craig said after he took the medicine. "You wouldn't happen to know when I can go home, would you."
Grumbling, the overweight frizzy haired nurse reached for his charts at the foot of the bed.
"Well, the doctor wrote here that you can go home tonight, if you feel up to it," she said in an impatient voice.
"Oh, I definitely feel up to it," Craig said.
"Hey, you," the nurse said. "You left your cell phone up front at the desk. Here."
Manny caught the phone that the nurse had sent flying through the air.
"Thanks," she said, and the nurse walked off. Looking at the phone, she gasped. Her flight left in an hour.
"Craig," Manny said. "I have to go. My job...I have to be back today or I'm fired."
"Oh, well I understand," Craig said sadly. After one last kiss, Manny left the hospital room.
Once home, Manny flipped on the light to her house. She had gone to work just to find out they didn't need her for that day. Manny collapsed on her bed, exhausted. She missed Craig already.
Back in New York, Paige lay on her couch, feeling the same way about Spinner. She had only left him a few hours ago and she was already dying, she wanted to see him so bad. Just then, the doorbell rang.
"Great, just what I want," she grumbled. Getting up, she walked to the door. Opening it, she gasped and then burst into tears.
Spinner knelt on one knee in front of her, and in his hand was a ring.
"Paige, marry me," he said.
