(Laura goes up stairs to get dressed. Two seconds later...)
Brooke-Leo we need to talk. I don't want you taking advantage of my daughter.
Leo-Brooke, I really really know. Lord knows you tell me all the time.
Brooke-I just don't want Laura hurt. Her heart has been broken enough times.
Leo-I don't want to hurt Laura! Besides, I don't have the power to break Laura's heart. We're just friends, that's all. Why won't you believe that?
Brooke-Because Laura doesn't.
Leo-Scuse me?
Brooke-Laura doesn't want just friendship from you.
Leo-(dumbfounded, speechless. Goes upstairs and knocks on Laura's door) Thinking- "Brooke is imagining it right?"
Laura-Hey Leo. Couldn't wait to see me huh?
Leo-We need to talk about our relationship. How would you describe it.
Laura-Um, destiny. Understanding.
Leo-Thinking-"Damn!" Let's be serious. I don't understand you in the way that you mean. I don't know anything about you, your favorite color, what kind of music you like. But I still consider you my friend. However, you need to understand that Greenlee Smythe has and will always have my heart. And vice versa. Are you ok with that?
Laura- Not really.
Leo-I'm ok with you not being ok with that. But that doesn't change what is. Got it? Good. Now, I think it would be better if we didn't go to the dance together.
Laura-I don't want to go without you.
Leo-Well then you should pay a visit to Binks. You two have some issues to work out also. I have someone I need to talk to myself.
(And they part ways, not having to gingerly avoid stepping on the pieces of Laura's broken heart. Hey, what can I say? I was feeling generous)
