Colin looks over at Amber]
Colin:"...Over?"

Cryonix Wed Apr 06, 2011 3:45 am

Amber: This...whole cult/church thing. I...I want to go home....with you. Lay on the couch watching television with some popcorn and soda...you know? Just...normal things...a couple would do.

Jabberwocky Wed Apr 06, 2011 3:52 am

Colin stops dead in his tracks, looking at her. Theres a smile creeping on his lips but a faint hint of something else in his eyes. Concern maybe?

Cryonix Wed Apr 06, 2011 3:55 am

Amber: Well...if you don't want to tell me....

Jabberwocky Wed Apr 06, 2011 4:00 am

The events in New York come racing back heavy and hard to Colin's mind. He closes his eyes, trying to hold back emotion but he can't help seem pained when the image of holding his mom during her dying breath comes to mind.
He squeezes Amber's hand

Colin:"No...it's over...it's over."

Cryonix Wed Apr 06, 2011 4:01 am

Amber: Colin....what happened? Really? You look as if....

Shawn: Raquel...what are you...doing...hon?

Jabberwocky Wed Apr 06, 2011 4:04 am

Colin:"She...she's...dead..."

Raquel smiles innocently
Raquel:"What ever do you mean?"

Cryonix Wed Apr 06, 2011 4:07 am

Amber puts both of her hands over her mouth in shock. She hugs Colin tightly...

Amber: Oh...oh baby...I'm sorry...I'm so sorry...

Shawn: You know exactly what I'm talking about, hon...

Jabberwocky Wed Apr 06, 2011 4:13 am

Colin's body goes limp, relaxed, in her hug. Theres a serenity here in this moment for him.
Colin:"Amber?"

Raquel:"I...Something must have come over me..."
she sits down, looking at Shawn
Raquel:"You feeling alright?"

Cryonix Wed Apr 06, 2011 4:17 am

Amber just holds him...

Amber: What is it hon?

Shawn: I'm...feeling much better actually. Still...pretty weak...but...it feels like...all of that poison is gone...

Jabberwocky Wed Apr 06, 2011 4:22 am

Colin sighs
Colin:"I don't think its working like this between us."

Raquel smiles
Raquel:"That's the best news I've heard all day."

Meanwhile, Ashley has spotted Naomi

Cryonix Wed Apr 06, 2011 4:29 am

Amber backs off...shocked...

Amber: C...Colin....what are...you saying?

Naomi is on the phone with Grace of Mercy hospital. She is setting up everything for Ashley...

Shawn: When...when am I going to get out of her, huh?

Jabberwocky Wed Apr 06, 2011 4:34 am

Colin:"I'm sorry"
he takes her hands in his, looking into her eyes
"It's just that..."

Ashley walks over, letting her finish the call

Raquel:"Soon I hope. I can go find out if you want?"

Cryonix Wed Apr 06, 2011 4:41 am

Amber starts crying and turns to leave...not wanting to hear this...

Naomi finishes up her phone call and smiles at Ashley...

Naomi: It's all set up. You can even have your...sessions in your home if you wish.

Shawn: I don't know...if I you leaving, hon...

Jabberwocky Wed Apr 06, 2011 4:43 am

Colin finishes his sentence
Colin:"...I'd rather have you as my wife."

Ashley smiles
Ashley:"Think thats a good idea?"

Raquel:"...What do you mean?"

Cryonix Wed Apr 06, 2011 4:46 am

Amber stops in her tracks. She turns slowly to look at Colin...

Amber: W...what?

Naomi: It would just be so...you could be comfortable, hon.

Shawn: Don't.leave.Raquel.

He smiles at her...

Jabberwocky Wed Apr 06, 2011 4:54 am

Colin walks back over to Amber, taking her hand again and looking at her
Colin:"Through all this...you were the person I thought of the most. I admit, part of me is scared doing this...but...I need you."

Ashley nods
Ashley:"Ah. You 'ave any idea 'ow lucky I am? 'aviing you 'elp me through this the way you are?"

Raquel face beams with a glowing smile
Raquel:"If you insist.."

Cruel Britannia Wed Apr 06, 2011 4:55 am

Erin: Well.... I suppose I had better go find out then.....

Cryonix Wed Apr 06, 2011 5:02 am

Amber blinks once...twice...then almost tackles Colin, crying and saying yes...

Naomi: Ash, hon...I'm not doing anything. You're going to do all the work...I'll just....be there beside you.

Shawn looks at Erin...

Shawn: You stay too, Erin. It's obvious we all need to talk.

Jabberwocky Wed Apr 06, 2011 5:08 am

Colin holds Amber close, gently kissing her forehead

Ashley sighs looking at Naomi
Ashley:"That may be so...but...I would not 'ave made it this far without you."

Cruel Britannia Wed Apr 06, 2011 5:24 am

Alex looks at Lexi concerned.

Alex: What is it love?

Erin turns looks at Shawn, thwn to Raquel, then back to Shawn.

Erin: I..... O...... OK.

Pockets Wed Apr 06, 2011 6:02 am

Alexis starts giggling.

Alexis: Your car... it's still at DeSilva's...

Cruel Britannia Wed Apr 06, 2011 8:52 am

Alex laughs and buries his face in Lexi's neck.

Alex: Should have known it wouldn't be that simple huh?

Pockets Wed Apr 06, 2011 5:26 pm

Alexis: Of course not.

She smiles.

Alexis: But, after everything if that is the worst thing to happen for awhile, I'm fine with that. Maybe we can borrow the limo... Naomi had rented it for the spa day, but as soon as we knew something was up, we brought it here... and that's why I don't have your car at the moment...

She giggles almost sheepishly again.

Cruel Britannia Wed Apr 06, 2011 6:22 pm

Alex hugs Lexi.

Alex: It's no problem sweetie.... I'll just ask Jeeves to drive us to De Silva's, we can pick up the car and head home. No problem.

He kisses her sweetly.
