Author's Note: What did Vincent find? The drama continues…
Chapter 70"Sean, once again thanks for lunch," Laura said as she sat with him at the restaurant located almost across from DCF.
"No problem. I think that it's nice that we have a little together time after all," Sean said. "I mean with rehearsals and work and…"
"I know what you mean," Laura said finishing her glass of lemonade.
"I just can't wait until we perform this play."
"Me neither."
Sean then said, "Laura. I like you."
Laura straightened herself up in her chair and looked towards Sean.
"I know."
"I mean like you like you."
"I'm aware of that too."
Sean jut then looked down.
"Sean, I like you too but only as a friend."
He just nodded in silence.
"I'm so sorry but after everything that's happened, I just couldn't handle a relationship right now."
"And with Vincent…"
"Sean…"
"I know. I just, I want to see you happy and I'm glad that we're honest about this."
"I really am sorry."
"You're in love with Vincent Laura and I can't stop that."
"Please don't be mad at me."
"I'm not."
"Sean. You're a great guy and although it sounds like I'm dong the whole speech that is all too familiar or anything like that. I want you to know that when it's about you, I really mean it."
Sean smiled.
"You could be a close second," Laura said smiling.
"Really?" Sean said sarcastically.
"Who knows but right now you're right when you say that my heart is elsewhere."
"You should tell him."
"I can't Sean."
"Why not?"
"Our friendship is so strong right now and so special. It's unlike anything I've felt before. We both have been through our rough times and…it's just better to leave things as they are."
"But if you could and you knew that there was a chance would you?"
Laura stayed silent.
"He might just love you too, you know?"
"You know that I love him."
"I know that whenever you talk about him your voice changes, you blush, your eyes sparkle…that's how I know."
Laura smiled.
"C'mon, let's get back to work before Maxine starts rattling on us."
"Thanks, Sean," Laura said standing up and putting her coat over her.
Just as they were about to leave, Laura gave Sean a quick peck on the check for sympathy she felt.
They both smiled and walked out the door.
