We showcase a touching scene between Cassie and Henk.

Does love conquer all? Well not in Cassie and Henk's case. Henk has returned to Summer Bay to win Cassie back, admitting he made a terrible mistake in turning his back on her when she needed him most. So what's Cassie to do now? She's just pulled herself out from the pit of despair, with the help of her close friends, and found some strength to keep going forward, when Henk shows up. Could he possibly give Cassie the support she will need to face motherhood and life with HIV?

LOC. EXT: BEACH - Early morning.
Cassie and Henk, Summer Bay Beach

Cassie waits for Henk by the beach. He's late, will he even bother to show up? Finally we see Henk walking towards Cassie and we breath a sigh of relief along with Cassie.

Cassie
I thought you weren't coming?

Henk
I'm sorry, I was doing some last minute thinking.
I wondered if it would be better if I didn't show at all.
But I don't want to spend the rest of my life
not knowing if we could have made it.

Cassie
How would it be, you know our day to day life?
We never had the chance to have a normal
relationship.
Ours was never going to be normal.
What if you get sick? What if I get sick?

Henk
Then we've got each other!

Cassie
It's not enough!
You know once upon a time I did think that
if you were in love,
that was all you needed.
You could take on the world.
But, I don't anymore.
For my sake and the baby
I just can't rely on that sort of
fairytale.
If I said yes, then every single
day I'd be terrified that I'd wake up and you'd be gone.
And if that happened Henk, I don't think I could pick myself up again

Henk

No don't, don't say anything. I'm going
to leave the Bay, I'm going to let you get
on with your life.

Cassie

I'm not going to stop you from seeing the
baby, you are the dad, you have a right to be
a part of it's life.

I love you Henk.

Henk

I love you too.

Bye Cass.

Cassie watches as Henk walks away. She takes a breath, pushing down the emotions. She remains strong and resolute.
