This take place right after Daphne leaves Niles alone on the balcony in "Something Borrowed, Someone Blue."

"I'm sorry, my mind's made up. I think we should say goodnight now," Daphne found herself saying.

Niles glanced back at her, his heart clearly in shambles. But he was a gentleman and would never force Daphne into something she didn't want to do.

"Goodnight, Daphne," he softly replied.

"Goodnight, Dr. Crane," Daphne replied, unable to look him in the eyes anymore. She turned quickly and made her way back inside the hotel.

Daphne made her way through the loud crowd inside Frasier's room and hurried into the hallway, trying to take in everything that had just happened in the last few minutes. She knew she had to be alone and quickly found her way to her room, slamming the door shut behind her. Tears overcame her as she sat down on the bed. As in tradition, she would be spending the night before her wedding away from Donny. She was so thankful she had her own room tonight and knew she needed this time to comprehend everything she was feeling.

She wiped the tears from her face, but felt her body still trembling. Just a few months ago everything made sense in her life, she thought to herself. Despite her hesitations and vision about another man when Donny proposed, she had said yes anyway. Why in the world should she wait for a man that may not exist? Donny was kind and considerate, and she always enjoyed her time with him.

Daphne changed from her dress into her nightgown and washed the makeup off her face. She stared at herself in the mirror.

Everything changed the day she found about Niles' feelings for her. When the other Dr. Crane had unknowingly shared how Niles felt about her, she could only react with shock. How could this man have been in love with her all these years and never have said anything? He was such a good friend to her, and they had shared many near intimate moments, but she had never viewed him as anything more than a friend. Within days, however, she couldn't get him out of her mind. She talked about it with Roz and tried to convince herself that nothing was there. She loved Donny, and Niles loved Mel. But what was it about this man that she suddenly saw in such a different way? Was it his kindness, the goofy way he could be so smart and neurotic at the same time, or his kind and gentle smile? It was all of the above and so much more. He had made her laugh so many times over the years, and suddenly it was something she wanted in her life everyday.

For months she continued on as if nothing had changed. And in some moments, it was as if nothing had changed. She could spend a weekend with Donny and look forward to her future with him. But in the weeks leading up to the wedding, she could no longer deny how her feelings for Niles continued to grow.

Daphne knew she had to try and get some sleep tonight and put this behind her. Yes, it would be awkward at first the next time she saw Dr. Crane, but they would get through this. She would continue to treat Martin, but she wouldn't have to be around as much anymore. When the workday she was over, she would be able to return home to Donny.

She climbed into bed, but could only toss and turn for the next few hours. Why had she even told Frasier about her feelings, she thought? None of this would have happened if she had kept her thoughts to herself.

Daphne glanced up at the clock. 3:30 AM. In a matter of hours she would be saying "I do" to a man that was everything she should want in this life. It had now been six hours since Niles had declared his love for her. In that moment, all she wanted to do was say "I love you" back. But between Martin, Donny, and Mel barging into the room, she couldn't find a way to say it. Then the moment on the balcony happened. She finally kissed Niles, and it was the most passionate kiss she had ever shared with anyone. His tender lips were everything she had imagined they would be. The way he held her in his arms made her feel so safe. Though it was possibly the most romantic moment she had ever shared with anyone, her conscience had come over her. She owed it to Donny to end what was happening between them. I'm not the kind of person that cheats on my significant other, she thought.

She turned on her back and knew by this time she wasn't ever going to be able to get to sleep. She decided to get up and go walk around outside. Niles had been right. It was a beautiful evening and she could smell the scents he had described during their moment together. He is so sophisticated, Daphne caught herself thinking. But while he's so sophisticated, he's also got that cuteness and innocence about him that you don't expect from people in high society.

Daphne spent at least an hour pacing around the hotel gardens before finally deciding to go back to her room. Her wedding dress was hanging on the closet door. She had spent so much time picking out the perfect dress after Donny proposed. But now, the dress represented everything she no longer wanted in her life. She would put it on a few hours from now and go through with this though, right? She had to, didn't she?

By early the next afternoon, Daphne was in her dress, hair and makeup done, and putting on a brave face. Her mother and bridesmaids had been with her the entire morning, none of them aware of what she was truly feeling. They were all immersed in their own hair and makeup, and were all too busy running around making sure everything was ready for the big day.

Daphne sat down on the bed and the stared down at the floor. One of her brother's daughters, Audrey, was the flower girl. Audrey came running into Daphne's room.

"Aunt Daphne, look at me! I'm a flower girl."

"You look beautiful, dear," Daphne chimed back before staring back at the floor.

"Aunt Daphne, why are you so sad?" the four year old questioned.

"What are you talking about, sweetie?" Daphne asked.

"You're the saddest bride I've ever seen. Why are you sad?"

"Oh dear, your auntie is just a little nervous, that's all," Daphne replied with a fake smile on her face.

"Well I can't wait to throw the flowers, Aunt Daphne! It's going to be so much fun!" Audrey cheered before running back out of the room.

In that moment, something overcame Daphne. She no longer could worry about doing what was right. She had to do what her heart was telling her to do. And what her heart really wanted was Niles. Last night when he declared his love for her something inside of her changed. She knew that she was deeply in love with this man. She had known for weeks now that she loved him, but hearing him say that he still had feelings for only confirmed it even more.

"Daphne, hurry it up! It's almost time," her mother hollered from the hallway.

"Give me just a minute, Mum. I'll meet you downstairs."

Daphne waited several minutes until she knew her family was downstairs. Closing the door behind her, she looked both ways down the hall before turning to head to Niles' room. She hoped he would still be there, and hoped even more that Mel wouldn't be the one to answer the door.

But it was Mel that answered the door. She looked shocked to see Daphne standing before her.

"Daphne, what are you doing here? Doesn't the ceremony start in a few minutes?" Mel questioned.

"Yes. But I was just looking for Dr. Crane. I wanted to thank him for something. Is he with you?"

"What do you want to thank him for?" Mel suspiciously asked.

Daphne hesitated. "Oh, just something he told me last night. A good piece of advice. I thought I might catch him before I'm caught up in the rest of me day."

"Well he said he had to run out to the Winnebago. He wanted to grab his insect repellent before everything got started." Mel answered cautiously.

"Thank you. I'll see you in a bit, Mel." Daphne whispered, knowing what she was about to do would cause a waterfall of destruction.

Daphne ran as fast as she could for the elevator and pressed the button several times as she tried to keep her knees from buckling from under her.

When she got to the lobby, she looked around in a panicked manner, hoping to avoid anyone that would be looking for her. But there was her bridal party.

"Daphne! Come on!" her mother bellowed from across the room. "We've not got time for you to be taking your sweet old time!"

"Mum, I've just got to run to the loo. I'll be back in a minute."

"Oh for God's sakes, Daphne!"

Daphne ran to the bathroom as fast as she could. She needed to find a way out of the building and get to Niles at the Winnebago before he returned to Mel.

She noticed a large open window before her. It was almost as if fate were suddenly on her side. She climbed through the opening, praying that no one would see her from outside.

Once she was free from the hotel, Daphne set her sights on the Winnebago. There was no turning back after this. But she knew that she had to choose her true love. What good would living a lie do for her or Donny? It would be difficult in the coming weeks, but she knew that Niles was worth the risk.

As she approached the Winnebago, her stomach was in knots. But once she was with Niles, she knew the knots would turn to a feeling of calm and serenity. She lifted her hand. Knock, knock, knock.
