58-Rejection
"You should just talk to Niles."
Daphne sobbed harder. "I can't! He's with Mel now! He probably doesn't feel that way about me anymore!"
"It'll be easier now than after you're married."
She sighed deeply. "All right. Thank you, Frasier."
She stood on Niles' doorstep, her heart racing as she rang the bell.
"Daphne."
"Look, I know you're with Mel now, but there's something you need to know. I've fallen in love with you."
"You… what?"
"I love you, Niles. And I can take rejection. I'll understand."
He smiled and kissed her softly. "Never. Because I love you too, Daphne."
