Graham/Beth/Brenna/Greer:
"So what did I miss ladies?"
"What are you talking about Graham, Beth asked"
"I saw you guys talking and then suddenly you stopped. What gives?"
Greer jumped in at this moment. "We were talking about how Brenna's mom would feel about her daughter dating me and we were trying to figure out how to break the news to her."
"Oh, that sounds complicated. I guess that would be hard to accept at first, but I'm sure she'll warm up to the idea especially since it's her daughter."
"That's what I was just telling Brenna just now. Once you lay things out in the open, life will be easier Beth stated."
Brenna wanted to change the subject and suggested "Let's go and find April and Leo. It's been awhile since we've seen them. For all we know they got lost in the park. I'm starving and they must be too."
They all agreed to find the closeted couple and then grab a bite to eat. It was better to have the attention thwarted off them. Graham was being a bit nosy at the moment and none of the ladies liked it.
…
April/Leo:
The couples were enjoying one another's company walking around the park and Leo playing games to win April some stuffed animals. He kept popping balloons to try and win her this big tiger because he remembered that was her favorite animal. After endless amounts of tries, and the overflowing amount of stuffed animals, he finally won her the big prize. He was exhausted after that.
"Here you are my queen. The tiger is officially yours."
"Leo, you didn't have to win the tiger for me. I would have been happy with whatever I got. It's the thought that counts."
"So you're saying I didn't need to do that huh. Maybe I should give it away to the next kid that walks along the path."
April screams out "No. You can't do that."
Leo starts laughing at April's expression and she couldn't help but join in. She was screaming out for a stuffed tiger. Neither one of them noticed the group coming upon them. They were just starring at the both of them trying to figure out what in the world was wrong with the both of them. Brenna hadn't seen her sister this happy in so long and she looked towards Beth who nodded her head in agreement.
…
April/Leo/Brenna/Greer/Beth/Graham:
"What's so funny guys? Brenna asked"
They both turned towards Brenna and then the tiger and busted out laughing more. April had tears coming down her face and Leo gave her some napkins to wipe it up.
"You guys are strange Beth stated. What's gotten into you?"
April stops laughing long enough to explain it had to do with the tiger.
"The tiger is the reason why you were laughing so hard? Beth asked"
"I'll tell you later. Let's get some food guys. I'm starving April stated."
They all went to the concession stand to grab their food and sat down in the tent. It wasn't long before the topic of Dominic came up and April felt Leo stiffen beside her.
"So April, have you heard from Dominic? Graham asked"
"No I haven't. The last time I saw him was at the pier. What's going on?"
"Oh. I just assumed he would have contacted you since you guys dated. I mean I know that he had feelings for you."
"Graham, I'm sorry that you miss him but we broke up before he left. We agreed to be friends."
"He told me that he sent you a shaky snowball of Italy at the job. If you didn't get, I'll let him know. He's calling me later on."
"I got it Graham. I was going to write him an e-mail tomorrow to thank him for the gift. Thank you for reminding me."
Graham just smiled at April and she smiled back. She knew what Graham was doing and hated him for putting her on the spot like that. April put her hand on Leo's leg to reassure him but he moved away from her. She never felt so hurt in her life.
Leo excused himself from the table and told them that he needed to make a phone call and would be back. Beth looked at April with sympathy and Greer bumped Brenna to follow Leo to make sure he was okay.
…
Leo:
He couldn't believe that April would hide something like this from him. Did she want Dominic back? He was trying to not be pissed off but couldn't help himself after everything they've been through. He was open and honest with her and thought he could trust her. After all this time, he wasn't sure if he really knew April. He started to question in his mind why April wanted to keep the relationship a secret. It was frustrating and the only person who had the answer was sitting back there. He was caught up in his own thoughts that he didn't realize Brenna was right behind him.
…
Leo/Brenna:
"Brenna, why am I not surprised to see you here? Did April send you?"
"No. She has no idea that I followed you. What's going on with the two of you?"
"I don't know what you mean."
"Please, I'm not blind. I saw the way you both were looking at one another. I had to be underneath a rock to not see that there is more going on."
"It's complicated Brenna. I don't want to talk about it."
"I'm not sure what's going on, but all I know is that I've never seen my sister this happy in a really long time. I hope for your sake that you give her the chance to explain before you lose her."
Leo wiped his hand over his face before looking back at Brenna.
"How mad is she at me?"
"She's not mad Leo. She's hurt."
"I wasn't thinking. Gosh I'm selfish."
"Not selfish, just a guy who is jealous and in love."
Brenna walks away. Leo puts his hands in his face and shakes his head. He screwed up.
