Bette watches her climb into her car and pull out of the driveway.  Angus appears from inside the house with a plate of Angelica’s favorite fruits.  “Hey Bette, There is my favorite girl in the whole world.”  He say’s as he leans down to face Angelica.  Angelica starts laughing and bouncing wilder at the site of Angus. “So Tina gone already?”  Bette smiles at her daughter and stands.  “Yeah she has a meeting with Helena today, so I should be home around six tonight.  Are you and Kit coming out to dinner with us tonight before the party?  “Ummm, I’m not sure if I am but I know that Kit is.  Give her a call and check.”  Angus picks up Angelica and kisses her cheek.  “Come on beautiful let’s go tell mama B goodbye.  Bette reaches out and squeezes Angelica’s hand.  “Bye baby, I love you, you be a good girl for Angus today.”  Bette kisses her head and smiles at Angus as she climbs into her car.  “Have a good day Angus.”  “You too Bette.”  Angus turns around, heads to the highchair, and places Angelica in it.

            (Alice is in her car taking on her cell phone.)  “So you training today?  So, what did you think of that A.J. chick?  She was pretty hot, huh?”  Dana Laughs at Alice.  “Yeah she was a good looking woman.  So where we eating tonight do you know.”  “  No, Bette said she would call me and let me know later.  Well I’m at work I guess I’ll talk to you later.  Give me a call if you get done early maybe we can do lunch or something later.”   “  Okay Al, I’ll talk to you later.  Have a good one.”  “  Yeah you too, and hey Dana don’t over work yourself today ‘Kay.”  “  I won’t talk to ya later Al.”

            “No Louis, I mean it’s just a little café you know.  Yeah and she was sitting there with a group of friends.  Yeah I know, how crazy is that, She invited me back there tonight for some party so I going to go.

A.J looks at herself in the rearview.  Shit Lou I got another call I gotta go.”  “  Ello, oh hey Jessie how are you?  No, I’m good, tonight, damn no I can’t I have plans, Nothing major just meeting another author for a drink. No, no nothing like that Jessie, Look I have to go I’ll talk to you later.”  A.J. snaps her phone shut and let’s out an exasperated sigh.  “Fucking exes!”  She reaches down and turns up the radio loud.
