Les lifts his head up when she comes to sit next to him. He knows they are safe here, but he can't help himself from picturing April when she walked into the bedroom suddenly surrounded by those men. Considering how they dealt with him, Les didn't know what they'd do with April, and he had been truly afraid for her because he....he just doesn't want her to get hurt. He can no longer just ignore what he's been feeling anymore. Too say he and April are just hanging out wouldn't be the truth.
And now with those guys still in town Les doesn't even want to say that. He doesn't want to just hang out with her or meet up every now and then, or anything like that. He wants to make sure she's safe. He wants to help her figure this out. And after they do he still wants to go on their date. A real one.
Unlike April, Les has been on dates before with other women. Just never one he'd been looking forward to as much as this one. Which is new and different, but he had been determined to get things right tonight. He was really going to try he realizes now that he didn't get the chance. "We can do it again another time," Les offers as she digs through the kit and then looks up at him, her concern evident. He wants to reassure her. His injuries hurt but will heal.
"I'm just happy you're okay," Les says instead with a soft smile. "I didn't know what was going to happen when you got there. I kinda hoped you'd just never come home and like stand me up."
