It's already been four months since Live in Love started shooting proper and both Dianna and Chord have been very busy since. Because the script needed Chord's character to be an adventurous photographer, they needed to shoot scenes of Chord out in exotic places and often times included Dianna. There was this particular day when filming sort of hit an iceberg when Dianna got sick in the woods while they were shooting the scene where they we're supposed to go camping.
"Hey…" Chord entered the trailer that was assigned to Dianna slowly checking if she was alright to disturb. He was met with a sneezing Dianna before she flashed him her million dollar smile.
"Chord! C'mon you're not supposed to be here! I'll get you sick." She groaned. She was found slouching on her couch while holding in one hand a tissue roll and a hot and cold compress on the other.
"Di, c'mon. Even if I don't get sick, I still won't be able to film without you." Chord sat down and her feet. He put her feet gently on his lap and gave them a rub.
"ugh I'm so much of a hassle aren't I?" Dianna scrunched up her nose and tried her best not to show Chord she wasn't feeling ticklish with him massaging her feet.
"Never. Just rest today Dianna. I promise you will feel better tomorrow." Chord motioned for a pillow on the far end and used it as a support for her thighs. Dianna didn't know how to thank him so she just smiled.
"I think I'm already starting to get better. Thank you Chord." She set her head lower on her pillow finding her most comfortable position.
"No worries. Just let me take care of you today. Go get some rest and I'll still be here when you wake up." He replied as he continued to sooth her sore legs giving her some sort of relief from her colds.

It was already about half past two in the afternoon when Dianna stirred a little before opening her eyes. She checked her surroundings upon realizing she wasn't in her apartment. Remembering where she was, she also started remembering feeling the itch on her throat last night, a few sneezes she had earlier, the pounding on her head which she oh so hardly tried to not show and how Elliot instructed her to go inside her trailer so she could be done for the day when it was only 10 am. She recalled feeling uneasy because of the guilt of not being able to shoot today was causing delay until Chord entered her trailer and made her fall asleep. Omygod, Chord. Where's Chord? She thought to herself before looking under her pillow as in he could be hiding under there. Then she smelled the food that was waiting for her in her mini-kitchen. She stood up looking for Nikki, one of the dressers, whom was assigned by Elliot to take care of her today. She stepped out of the trailer expecting the set to be busy but instead saw the crew hurdled in little circles seemingly enjoying some free time. Others were having picnics while others sat under trees enjoying an afternoon nap. She was already about to go around when Nikki caught sight of her and ran up towards her.
"Ms. Agron! Are you feeling better?" Nikki asked when she was already close for the blonde to hear.
"My head is no longer pounding which I take is a good sign." She replied giggling. Her throat still itched a little bit which was understandable.
"C'mon back inside. You might get cold. Have you already eaten? Mr. Overstreet cooked you some soup!" Nikki led her back to the trailer and was already rummaging her way in the kitchen.
"Chord cooked soup?"
"Well it was canned soup but he was the one who prepared it in his trailer. Oh! I hope it's not yet too cold!"
"Uh, where is he?" Dianna looked around once more but can't find him.
"Oh, I thought you knew… he's on the phone with your mom, actually. He's asking if there's anything you can take that you won't be allergic to." Nikki got some soup that still looked a bit hot and handed to her.
"Soup?" Nikki chimed as she lightly pushed Dianna to sit down and made her eat the soup. Dianna smiled before taking it in. it was good of course. Cream of mushroom which was her favorite. After a couple more minutes, Chord came back inside and when she saw him, she greeted him instantly.
"Chord! This soup is delicious! Nikki said you made it. Thank you!" Dianna smiled before offering some soup to him.
"Great to hear!" he smiled back before continuing "hey, by the way, I asked your mom's number from your brother so I could ask her if you were allergic to anything in particular because I ordered pizza. You know you were asleep so I didn't want to wake you but I wanted pizza to be here before you're actually awake."
"You're the best you know that right?" Dianna replied blushing slightly. No one in the history of her best people list did she meet anyone who would make so much effort to comfort her.
"Well." Was all he said smiling.
"You know, I think I'm ready to shoot. I just want to get this over with so we can go home already."
"Are you sure you can already?" He was a little reluctant because he saw how she was so down earlier.
"Yeah. I'm good. I promise."Dianna assured so instead of worrying some more, he talked to Elliot and told them that the shoot was back on. And as if it were a miracle, they finished all the camp scenes they had before sun down.

That night, Chord volunteered to take Dianna home since he assumed she was still a little sick. On their ride home, he made sure the AC wasn't too cold or too hot for her and even gave her his jacket. They opted for a drive through for dinner seeing Dianna wasn't in the mood to eat out or even cook dinner.
"Hey Chordy?" Dianna said in a slurry voice. She dozed of a couple of minutes ago.
"Hmm?" Chord replied, eyes still focused on the road.
"Thank you for today. For taking care of me." Dianna said her eyes still squinted so she couldn't see much of Chord.
"Dianna, you know I'll always take care of you."
"I know that's why I love you." Dianna knew what she said and she also knew she wasn't supposed to say it. So instead of opening her eyes and having to explain it, she pretended to doze of once again. Chord looked at her and saw her eyes closed her lips graced in a way like only she knows a secret everybody is dying to know.
"And I love you too." Chord whispered to her not really knowing she was in fact wide awake.
