Mia and Julia sat at the kitchen table eating breakfast.

"I'll be at the restaurant late," Julia said. "So I won't be here when you come home from work. I have some frozen lobster bisque in the freezer."

"Thanks Mom," Mia said. "But I'm actually going to eat dinner with Dad tonight."

"Oh," Julia said.

"You don't have a problem with me having dinner with Dad, do you?" Mia asked.

"Um, no," Julia said.

"I don't have to if you don't want me to," Mia said.

"It's fine," Julia said. "Have dinner with your father. He's going to be living across the street, so it's good for you to see him."

"Okay," Mia said.

Meanwhile, Martina and Sebastian sat in the Headmaster Underwood's office at Barcliff Academy.

"So after reviewing Victoria's application and meeting with her, the board has decided to invite Victoria to attend Barcliff Academy starting with the spring semester," Headmaster Underwood said.

"Spring semester?" Martina asked. "But that means she'll have to start kindergarten in public school."

"I'm sorry Mrs. Morales," Headmaster Underwood said. "But you missed the deadline for the winter fall semester."

"Is there anything we can do?" Sebastian asked.

"We can put Victoria on a waiting list," Headmaster Underwood replied.

"Waitlisted?" Martina asked. "My daughter?"

"I'm afraid that's all we can do," Headmaster Underwood said.

Later at home, Martina and Sebastian stood in the kitchen arguing.

"We're not going to bribe the headmaster!" Sebastian shouted.

"Why not?" Martina asked.

"She could lose her spot for the spring semester!" Sebastian shouted.

"I know how rich people work!" Martina shouted. "You bribe them and then they give you what you want!"

"We're not bribing the headmaster!" Sebastian shouted.

"I want our daughter to go to a nice school," Martina said.

"I have an idea," Sebastian said. "Bridgewater Hall always has openings."

"That's all the way in Mount Pleasant," Martina said.

"So?" Sebastian asked.

"We're not going to take our daughter to Mount Pleasant everyday!" Martina shouted. "I'm too mad right now! You make dinner!"

Martina stomped upstairs and slammed the door.

"I'm so lucky to have a wife like her," Sebastian said.
