Fiona Albright's body was returned to the St. Matthew Funeral home. But her wake was no longer empty.

Sitting in the front row was Lindsay Monroe.

Danny slowly walked towards her and sat beside her.

"Do you think less of me?" Lindsay asked Danny.

"Whatever you did in your past isn't my business" Danny answered.

"In a twisted way, I respect what Abby did" Lindsay turned to Danny "She must have planned this ever since she found out about Fiona's cancer"

"Love can be expressed in the oddest of ways" Danny said.

Lindsay just looked at him, realizing that they were the only two people in a wake of a person Danny hardly knew.

"Thanks for being here" Lindsay said.
