Maddie Addison...Well, soon to be Maddie Hayes, again, drove away from her lawyers office in a daze. Words like division of property, legal separation and child custody spun around her blond noggin. She still could not believe she was divorcing David Addison...hell, she still couldn't believe she'd ever been married to him. If she had listened to her gut years ago she wouldn't be in this mess...David wasn't the man she was supposed to be with...they were too different...too volatile...didn't want the same things in life...well, except for one thing. They wanted their son to be happy. To have both his parents in his life, to be affected by this divorce as little as possible. Dammit. Why did life have to get so messy? She always thought when she met the one, they'd stay married and make it work. But, maybe that was the problem, she never really knew if David was "the one" or not...and, well...given the pending divorce, she guessed not.
Just then, the light Maddie was approaching turned yellow and she had to make a spilt second decision...speed up or stop quickly. Instead of sailing through the intersection, she slammed on the breaks and came to an abrupt stop. While sitting at the light, Maddie checked her lipstick in the rearview mirror and thought about the errands she had to run before picking up little DJ from his daycare center. Just then, two men threw opened the car doors of the BMW ...one jumped in the passenger seat and shoved a gun in Maddie's ribs...the other man hovered over her from the driver's side.
Maddie: excuse me...!
Man #1: get the fuck out...
Maddie: What!?
Man #2: you heard him...this heap is ours now.
The man grabbed at Maddie's arm, but she was strapped to the seat by her seatbelt. Fear filled her as scenes from her life shot through her mind – DJ, her parents, David. She prayed to a God she wasn't sure existed. She had to live! Her son needed her!
Man #1: (yells at man #2) get her the hell out of here, we've got to go!
Man #2: I'm trying, she's not budging!
Man #1: get out lady!
Maddie: ...trust me, I would love to get as far away from here as possible...but this belt is stuck!
Maddie tugged at her seatbelt but it wouldn't open. They could hear police sirens screaming up the street and one of the men panics. He points the gun towards the stuck buckle, aims at it and shoots, but the trigger jolts his hand up and it sends a bullet sailing through Maddie's chest.
Man #1: what the fuck, man!?
The gunman aims again and this time shoots the belt free.
Man #2: She ain't stuck anymore so get her out of here!
Maddie's limp body is slumped over and bleeding. A small gasp of protest leaves her mouth as she feels pain rip through her body. The man on the driver's side pulls her out onto the road next to the car...he hops in, presses the petal to the metal and the men speed away. People nearby rush to Maddie and flag down one of the approaching cop cars who calls for an ambulance.
Across town David is sprawled out in his office chair, feet on the desk (which he knows Maddie hates) and childishly he is writing all the reasons he hates Maddie Hayes on bits of paper, balling them up and then tossing them into a nearby wastepaper basket when the phone rings in his office. Agnes is at lunch. David answers...
David: Blue Moon...
Voice: hello, is this David Addison?
David: the one and only..., well, on the West Coast anyway...
Voice: ...is your wife, Madolyn Addison?
David: ...wife? Hahaha. I don't got a wife...
Voice: you're not the husband of Mrs. Addison?
David: well...I mean, technically, for the moment...
Voice: look. Sir...this is an emergency and I need to talk to Mrs. Addison's immediate family...immediately...
David sits up...
David: Emergency...?!
Voice: yes sir...Mrs. Addison is at UCLA medical in critical condition...
David: critical condition...what the?
DJ flashes through David's mind...
David: what about my son?
Voice: Son, sir? He wasn't with the mother. But she was shot in a carjacking incident...could the child be in the car?
David remembers that DJ is still at his daycare center...
David: shot!? Carjacking!? How? Where?
Voice: Sir? The child...
David: no...no, he wasn't with her, he's in his daycare now...
Voice: well, that's some good news...but sir, We need a family member of Mrs. Addison's at the hospital right away...so please, are you her husband?
David: yes...yes, I'm her husband...UCLA medical? I'll be there PDQ...
David grabs his car keys and runs for the door...just as he's exiting, Agnes comes back into the office from lunch, she sees David's in a panic.
Agnes: Mr. Addison...what's wrong? Where are you going? Everything ok?
David: No...no, Agnes, everything is not ok. Maddie's in the hospital...
Agnes: hospital, why? How?
David: she's been shot...some carjacking incident...
Agnes: carjacking...Mr. Addison...
David: I know...can you do me a favor? Get DJ from his daycare?
Agnes: yes. Of course. I'll keep him with me until we know more ...
David: thanks Agnes, I'll call you from the hospital...
David rushed to UCLA medical and is told that Maddie is in surgery...the bullet grazed her heart, she has deep contusions on her right hip and she's lost a lot of blood. None of the surgeons can talk to him at the moment and after getting a lot of information from David, the nursing staff directs him to sit in the waiting area until the doctors have an update. As of now, her situation is grave. David is stunned and beside himself...she can't die...they have their ups and downs that is true, but he couldn't imagine a world without Maddie.
David sat for hours with only a few short updates from the nurses who could only really report that the "doctors were still working on her" and "it's touch and go, but she's fighting hard." David was beside himself, pacing, ranting, agonizing. He called Agnes every few hours and heard DJ say "mama" into the phone...his heart broke. His world felt like it'd been turned upside down...everything he thought and felt just a few hours ago seemed silly and insignificant...
Finally, after hours, the doctors came out and one of them met with David.
Doctor: ...Mr. Addison...
David: Doctor, how is she?
Doctor: I'm not going to sugar coat it, she's still not out of danger. We've done the best we can, but she's lost a lot of blood as the bullet grazed a major artery in the heart. We lost her once but were able to bring her back. she's fighting hard.
David: she's a tough woman, if anyone can pull through this it's her.
Doctor: the next couple days will tell us a lot. Right now she's in a medically induced coma to allow the body to heal.
David: (angry and upset) how did this happen!?
Doctor: I think you should talk to the police about that. ...our job is to make her better.
David: (pats the doctor on the arm) I appreciate all you're doing, doctor. So...ah. When can I see her?
Doctor: another hour or so. We're getting her set up in a room.
David nods, thanks the doctor again and walks towards the pay phone to call Agnes ... along the way, two officers stop him and talk to him about the carjacking and let him know they are still searching for the men and the Beemer.
Agnes assures David everything is ok with DJ, she's gone to their house and gotten him everything he needs and he'll stay with she and Bert for that night. Molly said she would stay with DJ and help out as much as she could. She was visiting her sister in San Francisco but told Agnes she would take the next plane back to LA. Molly was distraught over the news that her beloved Maddie was near death.
Agnes also called Maddie's parents who were besides themselves with worry. They told Agnes they'd be on the next plane out of Chicago.
Tears were dripping down Agnes' face, "Will she be ok?"
David began to sob, "Looks bad Agnes. I'm scared." He admitted.
"Me too." Agnes cried with David.
David pulled himself together. "I will call if there is any change or updates." He told her, "Tell Bert he's in charge of the office." David promised to update her after he saw Maddie. Agnes is full of worry and anxiety.
A couple hours later David entered Maddie's hospital room and is horrified to see her lying unconscious, connected to tubes and machines with bandages covering half of her body.
A doctor joins him and explains further about Maddie's prognosis. David feels helpless. When everyone leaves he sits by Maddie's bed and holds her hand.
David: Maddie...Maddie...Maddie...how did this happen to you, honey.
He sighs and looks around the room. It's so quiet. He's half expecting Maddie to come back with some sarcastic answer...but she lays still, with only the sound of machines around them. The machines keeping her alive.
David: (talking to an unconscious Maddie)...well...this certainly puts a lot of things in perspective. (He squeezes her hand) You can't go anywhere, Mad. DJ needs you...you gotta fight to pull out of this, for him.
He took a deep breath. "You gotta pull out of it for me too." His voice is husky with emotion, "baby please. We need you. We love you. I'm sitting here feeling pretty silly about the last couple of months...hell, the last couple of years. Boy, have I behaved selfishly. And I know what you'd say...if you could right now. You'd say I'm full of what the gardener spreads on the lawn each spring. But, I mean it... and ...I guess you'd also say this is a pretty quick turn around and I'd snap out of it quick if they told me right now that everything was going to be fine. But, I don't think so.'
Tears spring to David's eyes and pinches the bridge of his nose and sniffs back tears. He looks at Maddie's lifeless for a while as tears stream down his face.
After a bit, David dozes off for a couple hours holding Maddie's hand, listening to the sound of beeps and machines...when suddenly David is jarred awake by a commotion. Half asleep he sees Maddie's parents enter the room in a fury of questions, activity and worry...Maddie's doctor and one of her nurses are in tow answering their questions and discussing her prognosis. But when Alex and Virginia see David sitting at Maddie's bedside they, well, mostly Alex, becomes furious...
Alex: (points his finger with fury) what is that man doing in my daughter's room!
The nurse looks confused.
Nurse: Her husband?
Ginny: (throws David as hateful a look as she's able) this man is not her husband...
The doctor and nurse start to panic thinking they have some imposter in their midst.
David: (stunned) ...not her husband!? Alex...Ginny...what is this...?
Alex: (angry) you are not her husband! You have no rights! (To doctor) We want this man removed from this room immediately...we don't feel that he has our daughters best interests at heart...in fact, he could be a danger to her ...to her recovery.
David: Mr. and Mrs. Hayes...with all due respect...
Alex: Respect!? You, talking about respect!? Don't make me laugh. (To nurse) have this man removed. He's signed papers. He's no longer legally married to my daughter, which means he has no rights!
The nurse goes to get security. Everyone is frazzled and yelling. It is quite a scene.
David: for your information...no papers have been signed...nothing has been made legal. I have every right to be here and make decisions for Maddie.
David's face seemed to be made of stone and his eyes were green bullets staring at Alex Hayes/
Alex steps towards David in a threatening way...
Alex: ...over my dead body...for all we know you hired people to do this!
Ginny placed her hand on his arm.
David: are you accusing me of murder!? (David paces and ruffles his hair) now I've really heard it all. (He gives a short bitter laugh)
Ginny: ...David, look...we don't mean to come in and make accusations but...
David: ...did you ever notice that everything someone says before the word "but" is a lie?
Ginny: (hesitates) ...but...because you and Maddie are in the middle of a contentious divorce, we're not sure your head is clear enough to make tough decisions for her.
David: You really think I want her dead!?
The older couple remain silent as security comes in and begins to escort David out.
David: (on the way out of the room) Do you know how ridiculous this is!? You are going to regret this! I am the father of your grandson. Do you really think I wouldn't have my son's mother's best interest in mind!?
Alex: get a lawyer, David, show us the papers that prove you are still married to our daughter and we'll talk!
David: (yelling as he is escorted down the hallway) talk!? Ha! I'll have YOU escorted out!
David is pushed out of the hospital by security and stands staring back up at the building baffled by what his life has become over the last couple days...he is devastated he can't see Maddie...monitor her progress...hold her hand...but then he thinks of DJ and suddenly longs to hold his child in his arms...the only piece of Maddie he can hang onto right now. David drives over to Agnes's house, retrieves his son and heads home to shower, change and call his lawyer.
The wheels of justice turn slow and it's two days before David can get a copy of his marriage certificate and proof that, although he and Maddie had papers drawn up to legally separate, neither had signed anything...Maddie was still legally his wife. The papers had been faxed to the hospital as well as Virginia and Alexander ...everyone was now aware David was still Maddie's husband and he had every right to be by her side. In fact, the morning he got the good news he was just finishing feeding DJ before heading over to the hospital to see Maddie...the toddler had been asking for his mother nonstop...when suddenly the doorbell rang. It was Virginia.
Ginny: (holding a huge bag of bagels and assorted spreads) Hi, David. Can I come in?
David held up his hand to stop her and began to speak when Ginny interrupted.
Ginny: before you say anything...let me just say...I'm sorry, David. And I know that's probably not enough...but I am. Alex and I were in a panic, we got carried away and took all our anger and fear out on you...and that wasn't fair. We've just heard Maddie so upset on the phone for weeks and then suddenly she's in the hospital at deaths door. Maybe we've seen too many mystery movies, but we were thinking the worst. We know what happened now...we know about the bank heist...
David softened...Ginny had always been kind to him...this was a stressful time and he knew he had not been an angel these past few months...surely Maddie had plenty to be upset and complain about...he opened the door wide and welcomed her in. Ginny was happy to see that the house was in perfect order and the baby was bathed, fed and happy...David was a good father and he had things running smooth even in this stressful time. DJ bounced up and down with joy in his playpen when he saw his grandmother and she scooped him up and smothered him with kisses.
David: how's Maddie?
Ginny: there has been no change in her condition. Although they've taken her out of the medically induced coma, she still hasn't woken up.
David put his hands in his pockets, looked down and nodded.
David: ...well, we are headed there first thing today...DJ has been asking for Maddie nonstop...
Ginny held the toddler close and nodded.
Ginny: we'll give you guys some time and space together...Alex has calmed down.
David: good...good...I know he's just trying to protect Maddie. But I hope you guys know I would never do anything to hurt her...
Ginny pursed her lips.
David: I mean, ok...I've hurt her...but...I you know what I mean...
Ginny: ...I understand, David. You don't need to justify yourself to me. Of course, I don't want my daughter hurt, but what goes on between two people should really remain between them. Lord know Alexander and I have had our share of ups and downs.
David: yeah, well...none of that stuff matters now...the only thing that matters is that she gets better now...so DJ has a mother...and we can put our family back together.
Ginny smiles.
Ginny: oh, David...I hope that is true.
David: I'm going to do my best to make that happen, Ginny...all of this has put things into perspective.
When David and little DJ enter Maddie's dimly lit hospital room full of beeping machines and tubes keeping her alive David feels and ache in the pit of his stomach. Doctors were still not sure if her body could withstand the trauma. But David was determined to turn things around. He opened up the curtain to let light in, placed flower he brought around the room and instructed the staff to turn off the depressing morning show blaring from the TV and got some low music playing...already things seemed more cheery. He then took DJ from his stroller and the two of them sat next to Maddie. DJ saw his mother, but was confused about why she wasn't smiling and reaching out to him. He patted her arm with his little chubby hand.
DJ: Mama...mama?
He looked at his father with a questioning look.
David: Mama got hurt, Son...keep talking to her. She needs to hear you...she needs us to make her better.
David smoothed Maddie's hair back and stroked her hand while he and DJ told her how much they loved her and want her to open her eyes.
Ginny and Alex stood in the doorway of the room and watched the scene, touched. They knew right then and there that if their daughter was going to get better she needed her son and David there to support her.
For the next three days David and DJ spend most of their time with Maddie...talking to her and telling her all the things they were going to do together when she was awake and better.
Molly was there to take care of DJ help with the household duties. When she had first seen Maddie hooked up to so many tubes and machines, Molly had been overcome with fright. But she had to put on a strong front for David and DJ so she had swallowed her panic and did what she did best – take care of people. Molly brought fresh clothes and homecooked meals to David and Maddie's parents. She took DJ back and forth to the hospital and made sure things were tip top for when Maddie returned home. She prayed that it was soon.
Doctors were very concerned that Maddie hadn't woken up yet. There was talk of her remaining in a coma...but David knew that just wasn't going to be the case...she had to wake up...and start getting better...she had a lot of life to live...they had a lot of life to live, together.
Later that night, DJ slept on David's shoulder as David caressed Maddie's hand and told her the end to jokes he's told her in the past but never finished. David had been sitting by Maddie's bedside since he'd been allowed back I the hospital...but he thought he and DJ would go home tonight and sleep in a bed. He shifted DJ, which woke him up, and he started crying for mama DJ began to reach for his mother with his chubby hands. David laid him next to Maddie so he could feel her touch...he was careful not to disturb the tubes. DJ had had enough of his mother not responding to his cries. His chubby little hands grabbed onto her face and called out to her…
DJ: mama...mama...mama...MAMA!
DJ started to wail and lightly slap his mother's cheek as he continued to cry her name and suddenly Maddie's eyes fluttered open...
Maddie: (raspy) DJ...baby...mamas here.
Maddie went to move towards her son and winced in pain...
David placed his hand on her arm.
David: Whoa babe! Don't...don't move Mad...you're hurt pretty bad.
Maddie: (feeling the pain) tell me something I don't know...
She looks at David with an annoyed face.
Maddie: David, where am I? What is going on? ...and what are YOU doing here? Is this a dream?
Just then a nurse comes in and sees she's awake and moves to take her vitals.
As the doctors and nurses crowd around Maddie. David leaves the room to call her parents, Molly and Agnes to let them know the good news. Maddie's parents rush back to the hospital to be with their daughter.
Meanwhile...
Nurses and doctors explain everything to Maddie while she winces in pain and tries to comprehend.
Maddie: Doctor, this is all so overwhelming...and I don't really know what's been going on since this happened, (she throws David a bitter look) but I don't want my ex-husband in this room.
Nurse: I understand your worries and...of course, it's your right to keep anyone out of your room, but just let me tell you, He's been here every day...by your side, he never left. your parents were concerned at first too, but he's really been committed to you...
Maddie: (laughs) (winces)...committed !? Please, don't make me laugh...no, really, don't make me laugh, it really hurts...but the last thing that man is, is committed...to me or anyone else. Maybe to a one nightstand and a bottle of beer – but certainly not to me.
Maddie's parents rushed to her side and the rest of the night is spent catching up and hugging and kissing until Maddie was ready to sleep again.
Over the next few days, Maddie starts to understand the precarious state she'd been in for the last week and a half. Her mother dotes on her…her father demands more medication for her pain, DJ gives her unlimited kisses and David won't leave. David stays more in the background and Maddie has asked him to leave and get on with his life without her many times, but he refuses to go…he gives her space, time with her parents and DJ, but he's there, ready to pitch in when needed…giving the doctors any information they need and talking to the police about tracking down the degenerates who did this to Maddie. About a week after she comes out of the coma, they are alone in her hospital room for the first time…
Maddie: David…
David: Maddie…
Maddie: Why…are you here?
David: Whadda ya talking about…why am I here? I'm here because you were almost killed…I'm here because you're the mother of my child…I'm here (takes her hand) because you're my wife!
Maddie: Was your wife, David (she removes her hand from his)…we are getting divorced, remember? Where is Rod…hasn't he been around at all?
David: Who?
Maddie: David…
David: Oh…Roy…yeah, him…he had a frat party to attend…
Maddie: He hasn't been here at all?
David: Honestly….he came the day you got shot, but seemed overwhelmed by everything and I haven't seen him since.
Maddie: (sarcastic) Great…
David: I thought that was pretty great…
Maddie: I didn't mean it like that, David…
David: I know, but I did. (smirks). Look, these young guys are fickle…
Maddie: Old guys are fickle too…
David looks down sheepishly.
Just then one of Maddie's nurses enters the room to give her a sponge bath. The nurse looks like she'd stepped off the pages of Playboy magazines…she looks like she's wearing one of those skimpy nurses outfits you can buy as a Halloween costume…she's so hot, even Maddie can't help but check out her cleavage…but much to her surprise, while the nurse tends to her wounds, bending down, producing quite a show, David barely takes notice…he stares down at his hands at first, but after a bit he looks up into Maddie's eyes and brushes her hair back…he then moves and turnes his back to them, staring out the window into the distance while Maddie is sponged down by the hot nurse. Shockingly, David wasn't drooling all over them, didn't flirt with the nurse and make crude remarks…didn't gawk at the scene from the corner…in fact, there were lots of hot nurses, doctors and other beautiful female staff around and David hadn't paid an ounce of attention to any of them, except long enough to ask about Maddie.
Maddie knew this wasn't normal…she didn't know what was going on with David, but she didn't have the strength or time to figure it out…
Maddie: David, I want you to leave, get on with your life. It's nice of you to be here, but my parents are here to help me and I have Molly…I would love you to bring DJ around every few days…but really, this is no place for a baby…and you and I need to move ahead with our divorce.
David: We should…wha..
Maddie: Look, I appreciate that you've been here and cared about me during this time…but I don't have the strength to get used to you being around again and then getting out of here and watching you disappear.
David: Maddie…I…
Maddie: …and I know you want to say that things are going to be different…but they won't be…I've been down this road many times with you…I know where it leads.
David: Can you just…
Maddie: No, I can't just…I really can't.. (she winces in pain)
David: Mad… are you ok? What can I do to help?
Maddie: Please just leave me alone,David. Don't make me banter and argue with you right now…
David moves closer to her bedside and she looks away….
David: Look…Maddie…I'm not going to make you argue…I'm not going to make you upset…I just want you to listen!
Maddie: Da…vid…
David: It'll take five minutes…maybe less.
Maddie sighs…She hates that she wants to hear what he has to say.
David: I'm not going to promise you the moon…I'm not going to tell you everything will be different…I'm not even going to tell you I'll make up for everything in the past…
Maddie: Hell of a salesman, Addison…
David: …that's right, I'm not going to tell you all those things…because I'm going to show you…every hour…of every day…from here on out, just how much I love you…and I'm going to be the best husband…better than the best…the husband that you deserve…and you have deserved for a long time now.
Maddie: Save some of this, we'll have Raul spread it on the lawn this Spring.
David: (Gets up and paces) That's fine…that's fine...I knew you'd say all of these things, I practiced this conversation with you before you woke up…and you don't have to believe me…you shouldn't believe me…but I'm going to prove it to you.
Maddie: David…honestly, what you're saying is wonderful, what you're saying is great…I just don't have the energy for this…I don't have the energy to think about you and I…our relationship or even hash out things from the past…all of my energy right now needs to go into recovering, getting back to normal, living life again…getting back to work…taking care of my son.
David: (nodding) Our son…but I agree…I'm just saying I want to be here to help you do all those things. So…is it ok, that I'm here? That I'm around?
Maddie: (scoffs) Do I have a choice? (She hates how her heart leaps with his promises.)
David: (smiles) not really, but I sure would love it if you were trying to have me removed from the room every five minutes.
Maddie: (looks at him with a tired face) Stay.
David: (Grins) Thanks, Maddie.
Maddie: (Closing her eyes) Yeah…yeah…yeah.
CUT TO: THREE WEEKS LATER
After a few more weeks in the hospital, Maddie is released and sent home under the care of a private nurse who takes care of her during the day. David moved into the guest room and takes care of her and DJ at night after he comes home from Blue Moon. Molly is thrilled that David is there to help Maddie. She had grown to adore him and knows that he and Maddie belong together. Molly makes sure to leave them alone at night hoping they can work things out.
Maddie is doing pretty well, although her heart still has palpitations that need constant monitoring, but the wounds on her hip are healing nicely. The doctor promised that after everything is healed the scars will barely be noticeable…even having just a thin scar where they opened her up for the heart surgery. Of course, Maddie is just happy to be alive, but she does not agree that the scars are small or barely visible…she thinks her body is ruined…she looks like Frankenstein and swears she's never getting naked in front of anyone again. Especially David. She can't help but notice how aging is making him hotter. And she wonders if he's been hitting the gym because his body is harder and more muscular then she remembers.
David tries to convince her that her scars are barely noticeable. She scoffs at him.
David: Well, ok …They add character…
Maddie: Character? Please…
David: They show your strength…
Maddie: (barely able to move. Pushes herself up slightly and winces) …Oh…I was much stronger before, thank you!
David: scars are sexy…
Maddie: Sure…on a man maybe…but a woman's chest and hips? Come on, Addison, not even you believe that.
David: I do believe that.
Maddie: So, if you met someone new…
David: I don't want to meet someone new…
Maddie: But if you did….
David: I won't…
Maddie: (getting annoyed) But if you did…!
David is silent.
Maddie: and they had a scar…
David: Wouldn't bother me…
Maddie: A disfiguring scar…
David: (Looks sideways at her) …now, how disfiguring are we talking here?
Maddie: See!?
David: (laughs) AND your scars are hardly disfiguring. Really, Maddie you can barely see them. And…really…I'd think they were very strong from going through what they went through.
Maddie: Right, you say that now…wish I would have asked you a month ago.
David: I wasn't the same person a month ago…
Maddie shrugs and looks down. David stands and claps his hands together…
David: …so, what's cookin' for tonight? A little din din…cards? Movie? A hot game of Trivial Pursuit?
Maddie laughs…aren't you sick of all those games? We've been playing them night after night. (She is wondering why David is suddenly happy to spend time at home with her night after night when just a few months ago he seemed to be bored out of his mind? Was it because he almost lost her? She won't even admit it to herself but she is happy he is staying home.)
David: Hell no, besides, I win most of the time so it's not boring for me…
Maddie: Oh please…who's won Trivial Pursuit the last three times we've played…
David: yeah, but that's just 'cause you're on pain killers…they help you tap into other parts of the brain.
Maddie laughs.
David: So…what do you want for Dinner? I'll run out and pick something up and grab a movie on the way back as a backup.
Maddie suggests a rotisserie chicken and salad for dinner and asks David to pick up My Cousin Vinny if it's out on video…and David wants to watch Candyman…but Maddie says he can watch horror…downstairs…after she's asleep. David pets her head, makes sure she has everything she needs and heads out of the room…Maddie calls after him…
Maddie: …thanks, David.
He stops, turns around and looks at her…
David: For what?
Maddie: (throws him a shy look) For everything.
David feels a surge of love and thinks he's starting to feel something back from Maddie…he throws her a wink…
David: Anytime…
