Henry hugs Denise and she blushes.  They are happy to be together at last.

Love her? Ha, you can not be serious?

Oh, but I am serious!

 Justin's text to Tracy

You know something, you need to leave my friends alone!

Tracy's text to Denise

 You do not how much this breaks your father's heart.

Denise text to her mother

 Mother, stop it! Stop it, right now!

 Theresa's text to Henry

I am so happy for you and Denise!

Henry's text to Theresa

Thanks, sis!

Tracy's text to Denise

How dare you speak to me so disrespectfully, young lady!

Denise text to her mother

Mother, I love you, but I love Henry too!

Tracy's text to Denise

Do not bother coming home!  You are not welcome here, anymore!

Denise text to her mother

I have my place now!  I still wish I knew why you hate me.

Tracy's text to Denise

When you come to your senses let me know!

Henry's text to Theresa

Tell Justin, I said to take good care of my sis!

Theresa's text to Henry

Ok, I will do so, big brother!

Henry walks Denise back to her apartment.  He can tell she is still sad. 

He looks at her and says, "Maybe if I had never come back then..."

Denise looks at him in surprise.

"Do not you dare say it. I am glad you are back, Henry, I love you!" Denise says.

   Henry smiles as he stands on the porch to Denise place with her.  He sees a single tear fall from her eyes and wipes it away gently with his hand. He leaves his hand on her face and whispers, "Denise, I love you too!"

   Denise smiles at his gentle touch and wonders what it will be like for them in the future. She decides not to spoil the moment with questions about the unknown. Instead, she places a hand on his shoulder and just stares into his eyes.
