He have been meaning to approach Dale since the time that they were doing her own makeover but he never got his chance. "Hi Dale, can I ask you something?" Don is too nervous that he felt his heart is thumping too much on his chest.

"What is it Don?" Dale asked curiously.

"I got 2 tickets for an upcoming Chain Smoker concert, would you like to watch it with me?" Don asked hoping that Dale would agree.

"I'm sorry Don but I'm not really fond of going to concerts," Dale said sadly.

Disappointment can easily be seen on Don's face that Dale got guilty and thought of a way to make it up to him. She was about to suggest something when Ed went out of their booth and directly went to her.

"Dale can you help me setup the photo shoot venue for Mac?" Ed is already pulling Dale towards him.

"Sure, please excuse me Ellie and Don," Dale went with Ed which disappointed Don.

"I think it would not be easy to compete for Dale's attention," this is coming from Ellie who have witnessed everything.

Don just sighed his frustrations and thought to himself that he will get another chance next time.

"It's always hard for those who have always been in love with a person whom they can't get a chance to be with. You can always be contented to love them from afar," Ellie said seriously.

"Why be contented to love them from afar when you can strive to get their attention. We can never tell if indeed we don't have a chance with them if we will never try," Don said with determination.

"I don't know. Is it worth it to try if you know that you might lose the friendship that you have with that person? Knowing that such friendship is the only thing that he can offer?" Ellie was asking while feeling lost in her own emotions.

"You will never know that it is only friendship that they can offer if you will not find it out yourself. I always believe to do the things that will make me happy or think for the "what ifs" all throughout my life," Don said with resolve thinking that he will do anything to win Dale's heart.
