There was a knock at Howie and Brian's door. Howie went to answer it and found a trail of red rose petals. He followed the trail to Deanna's hotel room, where her door was slightly open. He opened the door and found her standing there.
"Hi Deanna," Howie whispered.
"Hi Howie."
"What's going on?" Howie asked.
"I've decided I've had enough time and space," Deanna said. "That is, if you'll still have me?"
"Of course I'll still have you," Howie answered, as he reached out for her.
"I need to tell you something Howie," Deanna said. "I love you."
Howie smiled. "You've just made me the happiest man in the world. I love you too."
"Then kiss me," Deanna softly commanded.
"As you wish," Howie said, as he hungrily kissed her.
"So, where are you staying tonight?" Deanna asked, as she smiled.
"Where ever you are," Howie answered.
"Wherever I go, whatever I do,
Girl, my heart stays with you...
"How's it going?" Vanessa asked, as she plopped down in a seat next to Deanna backstage.
"Great," Deanna said. "Are you missing a golden oppurtunity to show Kev how much you love him?"
"He's being a jerk right now. Maybe it's PMS," Vanessa laughed. "So I decided to come watch Howie with you."
"Well, just don't go after him," Deanna warned, with a smile on her face.
"I don't think I'd stand a chance with Howie," Vanessa said.
Howie's solo ended and he came offstage. He ran straight into Deanna's arms.
"No, I wouldn't stand a chance," Vanessa said to herself, smiling.
