Steve wasn't really sure what was going on with Toni. He knew he liked her, and he knew she liked him and he knew that for about a week after they got together, she'd been happy. They'd both been happy! But then Toni got strange and tense whenever he tried to hold her hand in public or put an arm around her or something. It wasn't-- he knew things were different, now, and he didn't expect to marry her or anything, but he did expect to at least be able to acknowledge his feelings in public.
And then, Toni started working really hard, too hard in his opinion, and he worried about her. All the time. So when she asked if he wanted to go to Malibu, of course he said yes.
He liked the place well enough, and Malibu was nice, if not too sunny. But after the third day, Toni went back to working too hard, and Steve went back to worrying. When he heard the crash that came from the workshop, he sa t up in his bed, disoriented for a moment before rushing down the stairs (in his pjs) to see if she was all right.

"Toni, are you ok?"
