Part One

''Girls, come on we're going to be late!'' Patty shouted up the stairs.

''Coming.'' Piper replied walking down the stairs.

''Mom, why do we have to go?'' Prue asked, walking behind her younger sister, she was not at all happy at the fact she had to go to school on a hot day.

''Prue, because it's a Monday, you go to school on a Monday, and besides I have a lot of things to do today, so you can't stay at home.'' Patty replied looking at her watch.

''Phoebe!'' Patty shouted up the stairs again. ''Come on we are going to be late.'' She exclaimed. Phoebe popped her head round the corner of the stairs, her mom spotted her, and smiled.

''Come on sweetie, the sooner you get there, the sooner you come home.'' Patty assured Phoebe.

Having finally gotten Prue, Piper and Phoebe to school, all she had to do now was go and meet her soon to be ex husband.

''Victor?'' Patty asked knocking on a hotel room door.

''Come in!'' A man's voice called.

Patty opened the door, she slowly walked in, the room was dark, and was only lit by a couple of candles - the room looked quite romantic.

''What's wrong with lights, are you living in the dark ages?'' Patty asked him sarcastically with a laugh.

''No, not at all, the lights gave out on me, so candles will just have to do. He replied.

Patty looked at Victor, she was really unhappy about their divorce, and she smiled, but then looked away.

''Are you ok?'' Victor asked.

''Huh, yeah sure, why wouldn't I be?'' she asked, as if she had been snapped out of a day dream.

''No reason, you just looked a little pre-occupied.'' Victor said.

''I am fine.'' She said looking serious, but somehow Victor knew she was lying.

''No you're not, spill.'' Victor instructed.

''You know me too well. She replied with a genuine and warm smile. ''I was just thinking…why are we divorcing?'' She asked, looking him in the eye as she smiled nervously.

''Well, if you remember, you thought I couldn't handle your powers, and it tore us apart.'' He answered

''But…I love you, and I can't imagine my life without you.'' She replied honestly, still keeping steady eye contact with her husband.
