Gran Karen stood from afar a few meters away from them, she looked shocked extremely surprised. Leonardo and she stood up from their formerly crouched position. Surely Gran Karen would know where Samantha is. She rushed to her, the other woman still looked flummoxed. "Alison dear is that you?" She asked, surprise lingering in her voice. Alison nodded, she stretched her hand holding Gran Karen's shoulders, trying not to let the tears fall again. "Gran Please tell me Samantha's is fine, has anything happened to my daughter? Gran! talk to me." She was desperate, every mother is desperate when it comes to their children. Her Gran engulfed her in a hug, soothingly caressing her head. After she attempted to calm her down, Alison felt a bit at peace. "She is fine Alison, she was just transferred to a general ward." "I want to see her, my heart would be at rest." She promoted eagerly, grateful at the fact Samantha was out of danger. " Oh... You would see her, she looks even health

Alison walked into Samantha's room and is surprised to see Leonardo on a stool, his head resting on the bed and his fingers intertwined with Sam's little own.A smile grew on her lips, they looked adorable together, she brought out her phone and took a picture.This would come useful in the future.Swinging her arms forward she closed the door behind her.The slight creak of the hinges woke Leonardo up.He rose his head up, startled by her presence, "Alison!" He said a bit surprised.Coming closer she folded her arms across her chest, Samantha's fingers were still wrung around his."How was your sleep?" She asked wanting to tease him."I...um- I wasn't sleeping, I...erm was meditating.""Sure, Meditation can be pretty deep, right?"She was relentless, he thought, arguing with her was a predictable loss.She sat on an empty part of the bed, "To be sincere Leonardo, you look exhausted. You need to rest."He could see her concern, he felt exhausted to his bones. "You should go now, you

"Leonardo! what are you doing here?" She said, a bit surprised at his arrival.He continued smiling confusing her more, "This here is for Samantha. How is she doing?"He gave her the bouquet, she was a bit disappointed he didn't buy her any flowers.Either way, she collected it, a smile on her face, "She is doing better, and would love this."She sniffed it, loving the smell of the bright sunflowers, and some other fancy flowers thrown subtly.The sweet scent was intoxicating, it was no surprise she lost herself to it for a moment."Can I come in?" That was the question that brought her back to earth, away from the land of beautiful floral scents.She managed a smile on her face embarrassed, and flustered.Just a visit from him and you are lost, she thoughtWhere was her manner?It was not all her fault though, he surprised her with his sudden visit from nowhere.Even though her mind is brewing with questions.It was best she let him come in first, away from the sun, as any good host

Before Alison could reply, Leonardo beat her to it. He crouched to the height of the little lady before him, she continued staring curiously at him, her eyes demanding a response. She looks bold and demanding."Ask me, Samantha, don't ask your mom," he said, earning a raised brown from him."Mommy, he knows my name?" she question a bit surprised, but still wary about him."How do you know my name?" She asked."Your mom told me," he responded, Alison also nodded in agreement with that."Hmm, Can... Sam also know your name?" Her hands toyed with her doll, she looked nervous."Of course, my name is Leonardo, you can call me Leo if you can't say it."She mouthed his name for a moment, "Leo, are you my mom's friend?"Alison marveled at the way Sam questioned Leonardo, she would let them work it out themselves.Though she wasn't very comfortable with the last question she asked, she wondered what response Leonardo would give."Yes, she is my friend."She left the duo alone to plate Samantha

Love is a strange sweet feeling, it leaves you confused and yet clear.Leonardo has never felt the surge of happiness and contentment as he was feeling today. He cuddled beside Alison watching the movie he recommended, she seemed okay with it at first, until he looked down and saw her sleeping peacefully.She looked so adorable in her sleep, with her hair resting softly in her face, his hands itched to remove her hair from her face, and he did her had no reservations about proving her love for him, given that she confessed her love for him.It still felt surreal but it was the truth, he reaches down gently removing the strands on her face, her beauty never ceased to stun him every moment, his gaze went down to her lips, she was a bit overwhelmed by their kiss earlier, but she accepted all of it. She finally accepted all of him, he reached down kissing her forehead intimately.His heart swelled more in love, Alison stirred under his arms, she looked startled as she woke up, "Did I fall
