April/Danny:
The day was almost over and the surprise Leo had in store was almost here. She wished he would have given her a clue. The roses were a pleasant surprise but she wished he would give her another one. She turned to see Danny typing away masterfully on his computer and here she was stumped. All she could think about is tonight.
She was caught up in her dream that she didn't even realize the mail room guy was by her desk talking to her. It was embarrassing to be caught like this. Danny gave her a strange look and for once she didn't have anything to say.
"April, I need you to sign this package."
"Why? I've never had to sign one before."
"Because it says so on the box. Do you want it or not? I got things to do."
"Yeah. Where do I sign?"
"Here and here."
April signs where it's required of her and then the mail room guy gave her the box. She had no idea who would send her a package. She didn't remember ordering anything recently either.
"Don't tell me, Let me guess, another package from Leo Hendrie apologizing again for misspelling your name?"
"Haha. It doesn't have a return address."
"Well, what are you waiting for? Open it. I'm dying to see what you got from your mysterious sender."
April opens the package and inside of it she finds a snowball of Italy. She puts it on her desk and stares at it for a bit.
"That's one way to keep the relationship going. Who knew Dominic was such a romantic?"
"Huh? What makes you think it's from Dominic?
Danny rolls his eyes. "Duh April. You are aware that he is covering the band in Europe. He's probably reminding you that he misses you. You're really out of it today."
April hadn't thought of that and it was so unexpected. She was caught up in her "secret" relationship with Leo that she hadn't given a thought to Dominic. She would deal with that later on.
"You need to get out April and have some fun. There is a life outside of work you know."
She turns to Danny and says "What makes you think I don't do anything outside of this place?"
"Well I don't know. You come in earlier than me to work and you leave later. Am I wrong?"
"No, I guess not. I just need this job."
Danny shakes his head. "I'm heading out. See you tomorrow."
April ponders Danny's observation and realizes how much he rang the truth. She was a workaholic because she really didn't have much to do. There was always the same routine with her.
The phone rings and shakes her out of her stupor. She didn't recognize the number and it said it was unlisted. That was strange. There were only a handful of people who knew her number. April brushed it off and headed out of the office and was on the way to catch the subway when someone grabbed her from behind.
