April couldn't feel the towel getting any wetter anymore. She tried to pull her arm away.

"If you let me get outta this tub I can sit in your lap," said April.

"You told me to leave you though...." Roger said sadly. "You know I couldn't..."

"Like I said, I've ruined your life," said April. "I've either infected you too, or you'll have to watch me fade away to nothing......"

"I..." Roger said, not knowing what to say. After a pause he said "I love you..."

"I love you too," said April.

Roger sat with April like that for what felt like hours, eventually stopping crying.

April sat with her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

Roger slowly reached and hand up to wipe his face, sitting there a little longer before slowly moving April off him. He stood up and got a clean towel, wetting it before sitting in front of April, gently cleaning her arm.

"Sorry..." Roger mumbled, leaning closer to kiss April's head.
