Rihanna and Albert are eating breakfast at the table sitting facing each other.

Rihanna. : My love, today had a bad dream about our daughter.

Albert. : What was it about ?

Rihanna. : it was like she was lonely in the dark, her husband and kids were trying to pull her to the light but someone else was pulling her back to darkness. I do not remember how it ended and it worries me. (She put the fork down and look at Albert worriedly). I think there’s something wrong with her. I should call her just to make sure that everything is fine.

Albert. : why don’t you call her now before you forget ?

Rihanna. : That’s actually a good idea. (She takes her phone on the table and dial Grace’s numbers. Grace is in the office busy with the paper work; her phone rings she answer it.)

Grace. : Mom. What a surprise, how are you ?

Rihanna. : I am good honey, how are you ?

Grace. : I’m perfect. ( she sits on her chair ).

Rihanna. : How are things at home ?

Grace. : Uhm…how is dad ?

Rihanna. : Don’t ignore me young lady, I asked you a question.

Grace. : Things are good at home mom.(She said with a painful voice. Joy comes in and stands in front of the table she is sitting behind).

Rihanna. : You know I can tell when you’re lying.

Grace. : ( Smiles a little ) yes mother I know, but trust me. I am fine ,really I am.

Rihanna. : Okay, if you say so.

Grace. :I need to get back to work. Bye mom.

Rihanna. : Okay baby, love you.

Grace. : Love you too mom. (She hangs the call).

Joy. : You don’t look fine to me.

Grace. : Why does everyone keep saying that ?

Joy. : Because we know you honey ( pull the chair and sits). So, are you gonna get to the point or what ?

Grace. : (sighs heavy ) honestly, I’m not okay.

Joy. : Get on it, what happened?

Grace. : Alfred has a 13 year old daughter with another woman and I just found out yesterday.

Joy. : Wait( looking confused)… Do you mean Alfred impregnated another woman 13 years ago?

Grace. : That’s exactly what I mean.

Joy. : mhh mhh (nodes her head )… Thats impossible, how could Alfred do such a thing ?

Grace. : I don’t know but he did it.

Joy. : This is so not like him.

Grace. : I’m surprised myself.

Joy. : I need to talk to him.

Grace. : No you dont.

Joy. : Yes I do.

Grace : Joy, I am telling you this because you are my friend, not because I want you to act like Rambo to him.

Joy : For you I will fight him. In fact let me call him now. ( Grace open her eyes wide looking surprised. Joy walks out of Grace’s office in a rush, she get in her office goes straight to the phone and dails Alfred’s number).

Alfred. :Hello.

Joy. : Tell me, what kind of a man are you ?,don’t you have conscience?. For a second I thought you were a good man, little did I know that you are the one to destroy your marriage.

Alfred. : Joy, I know Grace I like a sister to you but please do not budge into our business. This is between me and my family.

Joy. : Its between me too Alfred (with an angry voice). Grace is my family. How could you do this to her ?

Alfred. : I don’t owe you any explanation Joy. (He said firmly).

Joy. : Ohhh really?. Listen here Alfred, you better fix this very soon because I don’t like seeing my friend this hurt ( hangs the phone and goes back to Graces office). Mission accomplished.

Grace : What did you say to him ?

Joy. : Nothing new, lets go to lunch.

Grace. : Okay but I still want to know what you said to him. ( they exit the office to lunch)

Angel and Caitlin are sitting on the grass outside the school yard waiting for their father.

Angel. : You know Cat. I don’t think mom was stressed by work this morning.

Caitlin. : Why do you say so ?

Angel. : I’m just thinking, mom always get stressed by work but never lose focus on the road but today she nearly made an accident. I think she’s stressed by something else, something big.

Caitlin. : Last night I overheard mommy and daddy talking in the kitchen.

Angel. : What were they talking about?

Caitlin. : I don’t know what it was but daddy was apologizing and he’s moving out today.

Angel. : What?…mom told you that?.

Caitlin. : No, daddy did. (Angel looks so shocked)

Caitlin. : Pizzas.

Alfred. : Are you okay with eating a pizza Angel ? ( looks at her in a front mirror)

Angel. : Yeah… I’m not hungry so I don’t care what you decide to eat.

Alfred. : ( nods his head up and down ) o…kay that was rude. (Angel does not even looks at Alfred, she kept looking outside the window). What’s wrong with your sister ? (He asks Caitlin who was sitting next to him).

Caitlin. : I don’t k know, maybe she’s having a bad day.

Alfred. : totally understandable.
