The Tower's, Floor One; Andy & Nicholas' Condo

"I am sorry that I didn't have time for you earlier in the day," Andy tells Nicholas as he moves into the living room of the condo that they share together. The latest Zach Bryan song is playing on their Bluetooth speaker while Andy makes a light dinner. He knows that earlier in the day, Nicholas had stopped by the Twin Peaks Sun, but he was too busy to chat with his lover. He felt bad, but Andy knew that he had a few deadlines that he was trying to meet.

"You don't have to apologize for being busy while you're at work," Nicholas chuckles to him. "What are you cooking in there, by the way? It seems amazing."

"Thanks," Andy grins back to him. "It's going to be a chicken parmigiana."

"I can't wait," Nicholas replies to him. "I am starving."

"You haven't told me why you stopped by the Sun," Andy looks back at him. "Was it something important that you wanted to discuss with me?"

Nicholas looks back at him an nods to him. "I mean, yea, actually," Nicholas reveals to him. "It's about you and me and our futures."

Andy arches his eyebrow back to him. "Am I in the doghouse for something?"

"No," Nicholas chuckles back to him. "But we are still engaged; it seems like our lives have been placed on hold since Melissa's announcement about Clayton at our engagement party."

"I suppose that is fair," Andy tells him. "We've been on eggshells wondering what this all means."

"Yea, but, you know, Clayton has agreed that we should all move on and let the past go," Nicholas says. "So, you and I, we should start making wedding plans? What do you say, Andy? Let's get married, for real this time?"

Andy leans in and kisses Nicholas on the lips. "I love that sound of that," he tells him as their lips part. "There's nothing I want more than to be your spouse."

The Richardson Estate; Meggan, Lukas, Donovan, Logan, & Olly's Home

"You look stressed," Logan chuckles to Sophie as he passes her a gin and tonic that he made from the bar in the living room of the lavish home that he lives in with his mother and uncle. Logan was surprised to see his friend show up on his doorstep at this hour, but he was happy to see her since he knows that he has a crush on her. He offered to make her a drink, and she accepted. "What's going on?"

Sophie takes a sip of her drink before she looks over at Logan. "Max and I had a little tiff," she reveals to him. "This entire relationship stuff, it's more complicated than I expected."

"What was your tiff about?" Logan asks her as he takes a sip of his own drink.

"Abby Lawson," Sophie admits to him. "They are friends, and he is supporting her while she tries to get custody of her son."

"I see," Logan nods back to her. "And I am guessing that you're happy that they are close?"

Sophie sighs back to him heavily. "It's just that I get insecurities; I'm still so new to being in a relationship, and I get jealous when I see Max with another girl."

"I think it sucks that Max can't relate to that," Logan tells her. "Because if you were my girl, I'd support you and try to help you through this, instead of fighting with you about it."

Sophie feels herself blush back at him. "You would do that for me?"

"Yea, I would," Logan winks back at her. "Because you'd deserve that, Soph. Just remember that, okay? You deserve a guy that supports you, no matter what. Never settle for anything less than that."

Twin Peaks General Hospital

The elevator doors open to the main floor of the hospital and Paige emerges. She looks over at the nurses' station and sees Will standing there with some patient files in his hands. She, immediately, gets a grin on her face as she knows that they recently had a date, which ended up in them making love to one another. She hadn't been with a man in a long time, so she needed to be with him, but she can't help but wonder how Will is handling being with her as she knows that he is still has feelings for Eva.

"Hey, how is your shift going?" Paige asks him as she moves up to the nurses station and moves a piece of her hair behind her ear.

"Hey," Will smiles back to her. "It's really just starting; I'm on the overnight shift today."

"Ah, that must be hard?"

"You get used to it," he chuckles to her. "Unless there's something wild going on, it's usually a bit calmer than the day shift. How are you? What brings you by?"

"Nothing serious," Paige reassures him. "I…I actually wanted to see you."

"Me? Why? What's up?" Will asks her quickly.

"I haven't seen you since our date," Paige admits to him. "I'm guessing I was wondering how you're feeling? We…we made love, Will."

"You don't have to remind of me that," he winks at her. "I haven't really been able to think of anything else."

"Really?" Paige flushes her cheeks to him. "I've thought about it a lot as well."

"I mean, you're a beautiful woman, how could I not think about it?" Will replies to her. "We should have another date; I'm going to be honest, I still have lingering feelings for Eva, that will still take time, but Paige, I really enjoy you and spending time with you."

"Good because I feel the same way Will, the exact same way."

Dominick's Townhouse

"I thought dinner was nice, how about you?" Eva tells Dominick as she pours two glasses of wine from the bar in the living room of the townhouse that they live in together. Eva knows that she set up a romantic dinner with her and Dominick at the Pink Flamingo because she had gone to visit Frederick and agreed to keep the fact that he, and Felicia, are alive. When Dominick asked her where she was, she lied that she set up a surprise for him, which was dinner at the Pink Flamingo.

Dominick uneasily nods back to her as he accepts the glass of wine from Eva. "It was alright."

"Just alright?" Eva asks him as she sits next to him. "Why don't you tell me what is on your mind?"

Dominick looks into her eyes before he takes a sip of his wine. "If you are honest with yourself, how have you felt since we reunited, Eva?"

"I'm over the moon," Eva replies to him immediately. "You know that I have wanted this for a very long time, Dominick. I hope that I have been able to show you much you mean to me."

"You have," Dominick nods back to her. "Tonight was proof of that."

"Then what is the problem? What am I doing wrong?"

"Nothing," Dominick replies to her immediately. "This has to do with me, completely."

"What are you saying?"

Dominick sighs back to her. "I guess while it has been great to reconnect with you, I …I can't help but feel that something is missing."

Eva looks back at him in surprise. "What do you mean by that?"

"I don't know how to explain it," Dominick tells her. "You aren't doing anything wrong, I just…I can't help but shake this feeling of dread."

"What can I do to help you with that?"

"I'm not sure there is anything you can do," Dominick tells her. "But I wanted to be honest with you; I'm feeling like something is missing between us, Eva, and I don't know what it will take for that feeling to go away."

The River Rock Casino

Daisy stands in the suite looking out the window at the downtown skyline. Her mind is racing over the fact that she suggested to Trenyce that she perform a DNA test on Albertinah to decide whether Chris or Andrew is her father; Daisy thought that she was helping her niece because Chris has sued for custody of Albertinah, but if he's not the father, he wouldn't have a claim to the child. Then, Meggan told Daisy that if Andrew is the father, it could push him and Trenyce closer together again. The last thing that Daisy wants is to possibly lose Andrew by finding out the truth.

"You look a million miles away," Andrew comes up behind her. "What are you thinking about?"

Daisy turns to him and forces a smile on her face. "This DNA test, if I am honest with you."

"It's been on my mind too," Andrew admits to her. "The fact that we have an appointment weeks away, it's hard not to think about what the possibilities are."

"I know, I can't believe that the hospital was so backed up," Daisy sighs back to him. "I hate that we have this unknown situation pending right now. Our entire futures will change once we know the truth."

Andrew arches his eyebrow back to her. "What do you mean by that Daisy?" he asks her. "Why do you think that our futures will change?"

"Because," she sighs. "If you're Tinah's father, you and Trenyce will be parents. And, I mean, our relationship could be over."

"I don't want to lose you," Andrew tells her. "No matter what the test results, you and I, we will make this work, Daisy."

Daisy pulls him into a hug as she feels her eyes swell with water. "I needed to hear that," she whispers back to him. "Because I don't want to lose you, Andrew. Not now, not ever."

The Park

"Thanks for coming to meet me," Robin tells Cory as he moves up to the bench where she is sitting that overlooks the river. Cory had been at home with Penny, who is still adjusting to being blind, when Robin called to ask him to come see her for a late-night walk. Cory agreed since he knows that they have been trying to talk for a while now.

"Of course," Cory smiles back to her. "It's late and nice out, must be a sign that summer is around the corner."

"Finally," Robin chuckles back to him. "How is Penny?"

Cory sighs back to her. "She's still adjusting to being blind," Cory admits to her. "I just can't help but think that this is all my fault; she's in this situation because of me. Gordy was out to get back at me because of my relationship with Penny."

"You have to stop blaming yourself Cory," Robin replies to him quickly. "You couldn't have known that Gordy was going to snap and lose it that way; what happened, it was a terrible accident."

"I wish I could…"

"Let's talk about something else," Robin tells him. "Let's talk about us? We've been skirting around our feelings for weeks now, so please, just tell me, how do you feel about me? Do you think that we can have a future together?"

The Tower's, The Penthouse; Cory's Home

Penny sits on the sofa in the living room of the penthouse with a cup of tea in front of her. Her mind is racing over the fact that Cory left the penthouse to go see Robin; she realizes that Robin must still have feelings for Cory, which is why she continues to be around him. That being said, Penny also realizes that Cory has been very supportive and attentive to her and her needs, especially since she is now blind.

"Maybe that's it," Penny whispers to herself. "Maybe me going blind is the way to get Cory to stay with me. Maybe I can use this to my advantage to keep the man that I love."

She picks up her glass of tea and takes a sip of it. "It's time to make sure that Cory never leaves me again."
