Dominic:

After getting his shot, he figured he would pay April a little visit to see how badly she was injured. It wasn't like he didn't care about her, but the way she dumped him for Leo Hendrie hurt him. He let her in his life and she turned around to burn him. Slowly, he would make sure that she understood the pain he felt when he lost someone.

…..

Uncle George:

It looks like April is well on her way to recovery. It's good to see my niece happy once again. Leo Hendrie, who would have thought he would be the one who put that huge smile on her face. When she told me that she was in love with him, I knew things would be alright. I've never seen a man who was deeply in love with her too. It's only a matter of time before Leo becomes part of this family. I could feel it in my gut.

…..

Leo/Uncle George:

He was waiting to hear anything about April. She was in the back room and knew that she was getting good medical care. Her Uncle George would do anything to help his niece recover from this. He only wanted the best for her and would continue to still treat her like the Princess she was to him. He was her Prince. It was almost like a fairy tale dream come true.

"Leo, I've got an update for you."

"How's April doing?"

"She's doing well, resting right now. You can see her in a bit. She said something along the lines "You're her Prince to her."

"She said that?"

"Yep. I guess you're the only one for her Leo."

"That's the same way I feel about her Dr. Carver. April is my Princess."

"Just take it slow with her. I know that you guys are in love and all, but there is more to a relationship than romance. You guys have to deal with all sorts of problems that get thrown your way."

"I know sir. It's just with everything that is going on between the two of us; I just want to show April that it's okay to have a life instead of always working behind her computer. Don't get me wrong, I love that she has a career, but she needs to take a break or too."

"It sounds like you got it all planned out in your head Leo."

"Between you and I Dr. Carver, I plan on marrying your niece one day."

"Does she know that?"

"No. I had a lot of time to think about things while waiting for April to wake up"

"Well keep in mind that you have to convince her mom. She can be a hard one to crack"

"I'll keep that in mind Dr. Carver"

"Hang in there Leo. I'll come back and let you know when she wakes up"

"Thank you for everything Dr. Carver. I really appreciate everything you've done to keep me updated on your niece's condition, even though you didn't have too."

"Well you did essentially save her life Leo. "

"No, she saved mine Dr. Carver."

April/Dominic:

She felt so bored ever since waking up from her sleep. She wished someone would walk through the door so she could talk. It was no fun lying in bed and staring at the walls. Fiddling with her blanket, she heard someone walk in the door and it wasn't who she expected to see.

"Dominic, what are you doing here?"

"I was just getting my shot down the hallway when I ran into your mom. She had told me that you were admitted to the hospital."

"Oh."

"So how are you feeling?"

"Better. I'm just bored lying here."

"I bet. I saw Leo in the waiting room."

"You did?"

"I take it he hasn't been back here yet?"

"No, not yet. I'm anxious to talk to him though."

"The guy literally saved your life. I'm sure that he's worried. I don't want to hold you up any longer. I'll see you around."

"Dominic, I didn't mean for things to happen the way they did. I'm sorry."

"Don't sweat it April. Things happen and it's better this way. How awkward would things be at work if we dated? We would be fighting for stories and etc. I would have to be a gentleman and let you have the big scoop."

"Thanks for understanding. I was worried that we wouldn't be talking anymore."

"That's absurd. Were colleagues and we just have to put our personal differences behind us for the company "

"I feel better now. The weight has been lifted off my shoulder."

"Take care April. See you soon."

"Bye Dominic."

….

Dominic:

Interesting. Leo hadn't spoken to April yet. It felt good that he was the first person to see her after everything. It was fate in his mind. April and he were going to be together again. He just had to take things slowly and not scare her off. He just had to plant "doubts" about Leo's character and what better way than to dig up his past relationships. Oh this was going to be fun.

….

Leo/Mrs. Carver:

"Mrs. Carver, I was wondering if you and I can talk."

"Sure Leo. What's on your mind?"

"Well it's about your daughter April. I was wondering if she had said anything to you about us."

"No. This was the first time I heard about you guys as a couple. Frankly, I'm a bit disappointed in her. I didn't expect to be blindsided by her."

"I'm sure April had her reasons."

"You were supportive of her actions?"

"I wanted people to know, but she said she wanted to enjoy us for a while."

"Hmmm…It sounds like you guys are pretty close."

"I'm not sure Mrs. Carver. All I know is that I've been enjoying this relationship with April. She is different from other girls I've dated."

"Well, I'm not going to hold that against you Leo. You're young and as long as you make my daughter happy, that's all that matters to me. I'm warning you though; don't take for granted my daughter. She doesn't forgive so easily and neither do I."

"I got the message loud and clear Mrs. Carver."

"You are a smart man Leo. I knew you would understand. Enjoy the rest of your day and say "Hi" to my daughter for me."
