Dante heard a knock at the door and crossed the wood floors to see who it was, opening the door he broke into a smile when he saw that it was Lulu. "Hey," he said noticing that she didn't look like her usual self.

"Is it true?" Lulu asked clearly upset.

"About Kritina?" he asked knowing what she was talking about immediately. "Yes, come here." he said as he took her into his arms.

"How could someone do this?" she asked. Dante shut the door behind her and he led her over to the couch.

"I don't know, but I do see this a lot in my line of work. I however believe a man should never lay a hand on a woman."

Dante stroked her hair as she leaned her head on his chest, "But there's something else you need to know." Dante replied knowing the next part would crush her.

"What?" she said glancing up at him.

"Kristina ID'ed the person to Lucky. She said it was your brother Ethan."

"What??? No, it can't be. Ethan would never do this."

Dante didn't know what to say, he didn't know her brother that well but he didn't want to believe he could do something like this either. Rubbing her back he said, "Don't worry I will find out who did this to Kristina and if It wasn't Ethan I will clear his name."

"Thank you."

"Hey, do you want to stay here tonight?" he asked knowing that she was probably too upset to drive home and then be by herself.

Lulu nodded as he stood from the couch, "I'll get you a shirt of mine that you can sleep in."

"Alright."

After she had changed into the t-shirt he had given her she came back out into the living room where Dante was seated on the couch. "Wow you look better in that than I do." he said which made her laugh. He was glad he could make her smile again, he loved to see her smile.

"Come here," he said as he pulled her onto his lap. "I'm sorry that we have to sleep on the couch. My bed wasn't delivered yet."

"It's alright, I just want you to hold me." She said as he grabbed a blanket he had draped over the back of the couch and pulled it over them as they lay down together.

"I love you, Lulu."

"I love you too."

The next morning Lulu stretched as she looked around, at first she didn't remember where she was and then she remembered last night when she had fallen asleep in Dante's arms. It was the best night's sleep she had ever had and she felt a lot better than she had when she had showed up at his door the night before.

Lulu sat up and she looked around for Dante, he wasn't on the couch next to her and she didn't see him in the apartment. "Dante?" she called out.

Just then the door opened and Dante entered holding two coffee cups and a bag. "Hey you're up. Sorry I wasn't here I went to get us some breakfast and you were fast asleep."

Lulu smiled as he handed her a cup and sat down next to her, "How'd you sleep?" he asked as he opened the bag and took out two containers from Kelly's.

"Like a baby," Lulu replied seeing the eggs and bacon he had brought for them.

"That's good. And I have to say you are so adorable when you're sleeping." Dante said with a grin and he handed her a plastic fork.

After they had finished breakfast Dante pulled Lulu in for a hug, "Hey are you alright?"

"Yeah, much better than I was last night."

"Cause I have to go talk to Lucky about the assault. But I don't want to leave you if..."

"No I'll be fine, you need to go clear my brother's name." Lulu said as she leaned in to kiss him.

"Well if you want to take a shower the towels are in the closet in the bathroom." Dante said wishing he could stay and join her.

"Thanks. I'll see you later?"

"Of course." Dante said as he leaned in to kiss her before heading out.
