"For eight years, yes. He never did tell us why he was there. It wasn't until the next day that I found out he wasn't actually employed there. But I wound up giving him a job. He started out fixing instruments. Then one day I heard him singing one of my songs as he played one of my guitars."
*She smiled fondly.* "He had such a sweet, soulful voice, and I was mesmerised. He didn't know I was there. The next day I gave him his own guitar and asked him to join my band."
~~Dressing room~~
"Is that why you almost killed Veryl?"
"Only partly... I saw him sitting next to Trey, kneeding his shoulder... just like he did before... well, I couldn't let him do that to Trey!" *Sky's voice rose in anger.* "I'm only sorry I didn't kill him then."
*Covers her mouth with her hand.* "Why didn't you tell us then? When you were in jail for beating him up? Why... when that was what made us throw you out of the house?"
*Looks at his mom.* "Would you have believed me back then?"

She smiled "That's an interesting way to meet someone" she said with a slight laugh.

"Well, Sky is an interesting guy." *Leith commented.*
*Colleen laughed.*
~~Dressing room~~
*She was about to say that of course they would, but, stopped and thought. When she spoke, there was pain in her voice that was echoed in her eyes* "I don't know... but we believe you now."
*She looks at her husband to confirm that he believed Sky, too.*
*He nods, and puts a hand on his son's shoulder.* "Can you forgive us for the pain we put you through, son?"
*Tears came flowing out of Skyler's eyes. He opened his mouth to say yes, but no sound came. Instead, he simply nodded.*
*Hugs his son tightly.*
*He returns the hug.*
*Several minutes later, he leaves the room with his parents. He looks over at Heather, and smiles shakily, and mouths the words:* "Thank you."

"And you don't seem to like him that much" she replied, looking Leith in the eye. When Skyler came out she smiled slightly at him, she thought about saying something but stayed quiet.

*Leith was about to say, "He's a good guy when he isn't hitting on Colleen." but since Colleen was right there, he bit his tongue. Then Sky came out with his parents.*
*Swallows, wondering how it all went.*
*Goes over to Colleen and hugs her.* "Thank you. You are my guardian angel."
*Coleen returns the hug and smiles over at his parents.*
*Goes to hug Colleen too.* "Yes, thank you so much for looking after our son and bringing us back together."
*Looks over at Heather and goes to hold her hand.* "If it weren't for you I still would have blown it." *Gently brushes a stray hair out of her eyes.*

She blushed crimson "I didn't do anything" she said quietly, looking at her feet.

"You talked some sense into me, and you just bring out the best in me." *Realizes she hasn't officially met his parents. He looks over at them, still holding Heather's hand.* "Mom, dad, this is Heather. Heather, my mom and dad."
*Reaches his hand out to shake Heather's.* "My son is lucky. He found someone almost as beautiful as my wife." *He winks with a grin that is identical to Skyler's.*
*Kyora blushes.* "Now, Denis, stop."

She just smiled and shook Denis' hand, without quiet realizing it she squeezed Skyler's hand in her nervousness.

*When he feels Heather squeeze his hand, Sky gently squeezes hers and rubs the back of her hand with his thumb to reassure her. He smiles tenderly at her.*
*Skyler's mom also reaches to shake her hand.* "I'm so happy to meet you. Sky obviously cares about you a great deal."

Heather didn't know what to say, she felt so shy at the moment. "I'm pleased to meet you as well" she finally mannaged to reply in a soft tone "I'm sure it's taken a lot of hope and love to not give up on your relationship with Skyler." ::I hope you didn't just say something you shouldn't have....::

*Looks at Skyler.* "Before Colleen contacted us... there was a time..." *Emotion welled up inside and she couldn't finish.*
"Mom..." *Releases Heather's hand to hug his mother.* "It's alright now."
*Rubs his wife's back to comfort her. Looks at Heather.* "If it hadn't been for Colleen keeping in contact all these years, we may never have had this reunion."
*He looks back at Colleen.* "We are very greatful to you."
*Colleen smiles, a little teary eyed.* "If one of my brothers or sisters were lost, I would hope someone would help them in the same manner."

Heather's eyes filled with tears, families made her feel lonesome for her own.

*During the whole exchange, Alexis watched quietly. She knew she should feel happy for Skyler and his family, but all she could feel was a deep lonliness and longing for her own family.* ::I'll see them tomorrow.::
*She noticed Skyler's girlfriend looking like she felt much the same way. Alexis stayed in the shadows, not wanting to put a damper on the mood.*
*After being released from Sky's embrace, she looks over at Heather and sees her tears.* "Oh, dear. What is the matter, hon?" *Takes her hand.*
"Heather?" *Gently wipes her tears.* "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing" she said in a wisper then she pulled away from both Skyler and his mother. ::I have to find something I can go do...:: she glanced around.

*Skyler looks after her, concerned.* ::Don't push. She'll share with you when she's ready... if she ever will be.:: *Swallows, the prospect that Heather may not wish to continue associating with him upset him. Turns to his parents.* "Excuse me."
*He goes over to Heather.* "Do you wish to go somewhere? We can get something to drink." *Clears his throat and smiles at her.* "Emotional stuff always makes me thirsty."
