Mason and Leigha had not talked too much about what happened, and Mason did not want to pursue the conversation as he didn't want to upset her more than she already was. He just was there for her, and gave her as much attention as she would allow.
MASON- "Hi, is the water nice?"
LEIGHA- "It is. Why don't you jump into your trunks and join me?"
He literally jumped into his trunks and sat down next to her. Don't you just love the clothes changing abilities?
LEIGHA- "Mason, thank you. You have been an amazing friend through this whole ordeal."
MASON- "It's what I want to do, spend time with you and help in any way that I can Leigha. I love you." He says as he rubs her shoulders in a gentle massage.
LEIGHA- "You have never said that before..."
LEIGHA- "That you love me. That means so much Mason. I really have fallen in love with you as well. I hope that you can understand why our relationship has been so slow to move forward."
MASON- "Leigha, I haven't even given any of that a thought. I know what happened was traumatic, and trust me, I am not the kind of guy that moves quickly when it comes to matters of the heart. But, I do love you, I know that."
They snuggle up to one another. Leigha feels safe with Mason, she feels as safe with him as she does her fathers. He is a good person, and she hopes that after all this is over that he will still be there for her.
