Cass:  Hi mom!

Estelle:  Hi honey, how are you?

Cass:  That's what I was gonna ask you, I haven't heard from you in three weeks.

Estelle:  Honey I'm sorry…

Cass:  I forgive you… Jeff and I are back together.

Estelle:  Honey I'm so happy for you!  So you're back on the road?

Cass:  I took my finals, I'm good to go… still set to graduate in January.

Estelle:  That's all I ask.

Cass:  So what's up mom?

Estelle:  Nothing….

Cass:  Ah come on, I'm no Madame Cleo, but I know when something's wrong with my mom.  Something's goin' on with dad too, but you know getting anything from him is like pulling teeth  (long pause)  Mom?  I thought we could talk about anything?

Estelle:  Honey, Ross and I are having some problems.  We've separated.

Cass:  What!  No mom!  How's Lizzie.

Estelle:  I'm trying to keep her occupied.

Cass:  This can't be happening!  What happened?

Estelle:  (sighs)  One of us was unfaithful.

Cass:  No mom, I can't believe Ross would….

Estelle:  And it wasn't Ross.

Cass:  Mom…

Estelle:  It was a mistake.

Cass:  I can be on a flight in the morning…

Estelle:  No, no honey I'm fine really.  Lizzie is with Grams and Pops.  Are you gonna be in Florida anytime soon?

Cass:  In a week, I'll spend some time with her.

Estelle:  Baby, she would love that.

Cass:  Mom, I'm worried about you though.

Estelle:  Don't be.  Momma's gonna be alright.  It's late go on to bed

Cass:  Okay mom if you need me let me know.

Estelle:  I will baby.

Cass:  I mean it mom.

Estelle:  Okay sweetheart.  Goodnight.

Cass:  Goodnight.
