Leo:
After the talk that April and I had, the air was clear. She accepted my apology after I messed up. We are on good terms once again. I can't believe how much she cares about me and sees the good in me. It's hard to describe. April has seen nothing but positive things that I've done behind the scene. It was supposed to be my little secret and I didn't want the attention. It was my way of giving back to those that have given me so much. I can't thank April enough for everything she has done for me so far. It's the little things that count and I appreciate every moment.
April:
Well that conversation went well with Leo. I thought it was going to be worse with Leo considering Graham and his trouble making motives. It makes me question why he would deliberately question my loyalty to Dominic. We had agreed to be friends while he's on tour and I never expected to fall for Leo. It just happened and I am glad it did. He's been nothing but sweet and endearing to me since I found out that I had cancer.
…..
Brenna/Greer:
"I take it that things are back on track with April and Leo."
"I'm not sure Greer. I can tell that Leo really cares about my sister and I know how much she likes him. I think it's the timing issue with her breaking up with Dominic."
"That's got to be waning heavily on her mind. I couldn't imagine how either one of them would feel if Dominic just stepped back into her life."
"It would definitely be awkward for April and I don't think she needs all that stress too."
"Hopefully that won't be anything for her to worry about. I just can't imagine what she would be going through. I'd hate to be put in that difficult decision."
"It's a good thing that he isn't around."
They took off to find Beth and Graham. It wasn't until they came upon the scene that they knew things would be different.
…
Beth/Graham/Brenna/Greer:
"Hey guys, you'll never believe the news I just heard."
"What news? Share."
Before Beth could tell Brenna and Greer, Graham jumps into the conversation. "Dominic is coming home sooner than we thought."
"Wait, what?" Brenna asked
"I was talking to him and he wondered how everything was going with our place and etc. When he asked about April, I told him that she was missing him."
"Why would you do that? April obviously isn't sitting at home twiddling her fingers."
"I know that Brenna. It's obvious that April is missing Dominic. I mean look at her earlier. She and Leo were hanging out with one another."
"He wanted to surprise her by taking her mind off her problems at work. There is nothing wrong with that."
"Yeah I know. It's sweet and all, but I think she needs Dominic in her life."
Beth interrupts the conversation and tells Graham that they should be going if they want to make the dinner reservations. He tells Brenna and Greer to not reveal this tidbit. Beth could only mouth the words "intercept."
….
Brenna:
She was walking back with Greer towards where she last April with Leo. This was going to get a bit uncomfortable. On one hand she had to let her know that Dominic was coming back, but on the other hand, it wasn't her news to tell. She would figure it out once she saw her sister.
….
Leo/April:
"Well it looks like we are going to be having some company April. It looks like Brenna and Greer are headed this way."
"They look really happy. I'm glad that my sister was able to find someone who enjoys her as much as I do."
"They are an adorable couple, but were so much cuter."
"Shh…no one is supposed to know about that."
"I think you're sister has it all figured out. I think she knows but is waiting till you tell her yourself."
"What makes you think that Leo?"
"Let's just say that you're sister and I see eye to eye when it comes to you."
"Did I miss something here?"
"No baby. Brenna and I just talked."
April and Leo were staring at one another when Brenna and Greer finally came upon them. Brenna was looking at the two of them and realized that she couldn't do that to her sister. She hadn't seen April this happy in such a long time and wasn't about to burst her happiness now. Brenna and Greer told them that they were leaving and thanked Leo for inviting them to the fair. He in return gave Brenna a hug and whispered in her ear "Thank you." Brenna smiled and took Greer's hand and headed off to find their car.
…..
Beth/Graham/Dominic:
"It looks like Brenna took the news well."
"You didn't tell me that Dominic would be coming home early."
"I want it to be a surprise for her. I know home much Dominic missed her too."
"Do you have an idea of when Dominic would be back?"
"I'm not sure. All he told me was soon. Did you want to come in?"
"Sure."
They walked into Graham's place and lord and behold, Dominic was home. He was sitting on the couch in the living room looking at the both of them.
"She's not here with us Beth stated."
Dominic looks at Beth. "You haven't told her yet have you? I mean I know you guys are best friends and all."
"No, I haven't. Graham just told us not long ago. He made it seem like you weren't going to be back so soon."
"I wasn't, but I missed April and I wanted to surprise her."
"I don't think you'll have a problem with that Dominic. April will definitely be surprised."
Beth was caught up in a dilemma. She didn't know how she was going to alert April that Dominic was back without it being too obvious. It wasn't like she had Leo's number. She just hoped and prayed that there wasn't going to be a disaster anytime soon. The thought of April and Leo getting ambushed by Dominic's arrival sickened her.
