Rocky: "no"

Grace: "oh, well then" she scoots away from him slowly

Rocky: slides over to Grace and wraps his arms around her

Grace gives him a confused look

Rocky: chuckles "I never said I don't love you"

Grace looks at him shocked

"What! you're not gonna say it back?"

Grace: smiles "I love you too."

~ with riker and vanessa~

Riker:

"what do you think ross and Laura are doing?"

"Hello!"

"Hello!"

"Hola?"

"Bonjour!"

"Are you even alive?"

"Waaaaiiittt...." He checks her pulse

"Well you're alive"

"Vanessa!"

"Talk to me"

"IM SORRY" vanessa yells

Riker jumps back at her sudden action.

She bends over in the chair. She sits there hiding her face in her hands outside of the hospital room.

"Sorry for what?" Riker asks

He waits patiently. He knows she's trying to find a way to say it right.

She looks at him in a way that only Riker understands.

"There's only one way to say it, isn't there?" He asks

She nods. She looks down for a few seconds then looks up but, doesn't allow her eyes to meet his.

"I cheated"

~ with ross and Laura ~

Laura: "I'm so happy she's okay"

Ross: "I'm happy that you're not ....well, bitchy, anymore"

Laura raises her eyebrows.

"Don't attempt the slybrow"

"Why not?"

"Cuz you can't do it."

Laura laughs. Ross smiles.

"I feel like it's been forever since I've heard your cute laugh"

"Don't you mean adorkable?"

Laura smirks.

"You're right."

They laugh for a few minutes.

As their laughter dies down ross smiles at her.

"It's nice having my Laur back"

"Same here, but, well uh, are we like.... Back together?"

"Oh. Right. Ummm. I actually didn't know we weren't together. I thought that you know after all that drama we were just....together" ross replies awkwardly.

"You know I like an official ask."

"Well then. You will just have to wait"

"I'm willing to wait... As long as you're still here"
