Letting go of Simon's hand, Chris turned to look at April.  "It's the waiter, honey.  From the restaurant, remember?"  He walked a bit closer to her and smiled. "Isn't it great that...."  Chris fumbled for a name for Simon, snapping his finger as he tried to recall what his name was.  He laughed and looked a bit contrite.  "You'll have to forgive me, I'm bad with names so I've forgotten yours.  Could you tell me your name again?"<br/><br/>~~~<br/><br/>Simon returned Chris' smile with one of his own.  "It's Simon."  At first he was nervous but now talking to Chris?  He found it getting easier and easier to lie smoothly to Chris.  Just think of it as selling a customer on certain items on the menu.  He took a step backwards towards the door...  "Although I can see that I'm intruding at the moment.  No doubt you both want some private time alone am I right?"<br/><br/>Simon lifted his hands up in an open gesture of surrender.  "I'll just be on my way then...just wanted to pop in and see how your wife was doing.  Now that I see she's doing fine...well..."  Leave a hook there to snag Chris a bit, no one could begrudge a friendly face who was only here to check on the well-being of April...  He turned around and started walking towards the door.<br/><br/>~~~<br/><br/>Actually this was good, Chris smiled.  If Simon could stick around for a bit longer, Chris would have an convienient excuse to leave himself.  April was doing fine and there were doctors around to take care of her.  Tina was going to be off shift later and Chris was going to meet her.  This way, Simon could be of some help.  April didn't seemed unfriendly to Simon and so perhaps she wouldn't mind if he stayed by her side for a bit and distract her from the fact that Chris had already left.<br/><br/>"Wait!  Simon, I was wondering if you could stay around a bit longer.  April needs all the support she can get even if it's from someone we've only met once."  Chris called out to Simon.  "I would consider this a big favor if you could do it for me and I don't April would mind.  Would you sweetie?"
