Later at dinner, Eric, Annie, Mary, Simon, Ruthie, Sam, David, Robbie, and Kyle were at the table. Robbie sat beside Mary and they kissed. Sam and David kind of giggled and pretended to kiss each other.
"Not funny, guys," Robbie said.
"Yeah it is," Ruthie replied. She and Kyle secretly held hands under the table.
"You guys, quit it," Mary said.
"We're just kidding around, you don't have to be so serious," Robbie replied.
"Fine, as long as you were just kidding around," Mary said. The doorbell rang.
"I'll get it," Robbie said. He got up and answered the door. There stood Lucy.
"Hi. I'm Lucy Loveday, I'm homeless," Lucy replied.
"Come in, I'll be right there," Robbie said, letting her in. He went into the kitchen.
"There's a girl in there who is homeless," Robbie said. They all moved to the living room, even the twins.
"Hi, I'm Eric Camden," Eric said, extending his hand to Lucy.
"I'm Lucy Loveday," Lucy replied, shaking his hand. They both felt something, but weren't sure of what.
"You're homeless?" Annie asked.
"Yes ma'm," Lucy replied.
"Can she stay with us? We have two extra rooms," Ruthie asked.
"Yes, why don't you stay with us until you can find yourself a place," Eric asked.
"That would be great. I hope I'm not too much trouble," Lucy replied.
"Do you have anything?" Annie asked.
"I have a suitcase. My parents threw me out of the house. They thought that I was on drugs, but I can assure you that I'm not on drugs, my boyfriend was," Lucy replied.
"Ok," Eric said.
***
Lucy joined them for dinner. Everyone wanted to know who the mysterious homeless girl was.
"So, Lucy, what brings you here?" Mary asked.
"This house seemed to be a warm environment," Lucy replied.
"Yeah, I know what you mean," Robbie said. He had loved the Camden family the day he met them, but they had had a hard time accepting him as Mary's husband.
"How long have you lived around here?" Eric asked, remembering the feeling he had had when they shook hands.
"Ever since I can remember. I have a photo album of my family. I have two sisters, no brothers. It seems I've always been the black sheep of the family, and they act like they're hiding something from me," Lucy replied.
"What do you think it could be?" Ruthie asked.
"I don't know. I look nothing like them, any of them. They all have dark hair. Maybe I'm adopted. I can vaguley remember someone else caring for me, maybe I was put up for adoption," Lucy replied.
"It must be horrible not knowing a family secret like that," Simon said.
"It is," Lucy said, adding, "You guys never told me your names."
"Oh, wow! We forgot our manners," Eric replied.
"It's ok," Lucy said, picking at her food.
"I'm Eric Camden," Eric said.
"I'm Annie Camden," Annie replied.
"I'm Sam Camden," Sam said.
"And I'm David. We're twins," David replied. Lucy laughed.
"I'm Ruthie Camden and this is my boyfriend Kyle Denver," Ruthie said.
"I'm Simon Camden," Simon said.
"I'm Mary Palmer," Mary said.
"And I'm Robbie Palmer, her husband. She was a Camden for seventeen years until we made a mistake," Robbie replied.
"A mistake?" Mary asked.
"We got married too young," Robbie replied.
"A mistake?" Mary asked.
"Mary, that's not what I meant! I just meant that we should have known each other better before making a commitment!" Robbie replied.
"No, I was ready for a commitment. You weren't!" Mary shouted, leaving the table. Robbie quickly followed her.
"I'm sorry that I caused so much trouble," Lucy said.
"It wasn't your fault, they have a lot of complicated problems. Mary's pregnant, Robbie dropped out of college, neither one of them are ready for marriage even though they've been married for almost four years now," Annie explained.
"I didn't need to know all of that. I'll be out of here in a week, tops," Lucy replied.
***
Robbie caught up with Mary who was upstairs packing.
"What are you doing?" Robbie asked.
"I'm leaving you," Mary replied. Robbie pondered.
"That doesn't make sense," Robbie said.
"Why not?" Mary asked.
"Well, this is your parents house, if you left, well, it doesn't make sense," Robbie replied.
"Don't you ever regret doing what you did to me?" Mary asked.
"What did I do?" Robbie asked.
"Does Cheryl and Melissa and Joy and Tori mean anything to you?" Mary asked. Robbie gulped.
"Mary, I thought that all was forgiven?" Robbie asked.
"So did I. Now I realize, it's not been resolved. You cheated on me when we were dating and married. You cheated on me a lot Robbie Palmer, now I'm having your baby and you've probably already got one from cheating on me with at least four women," Mary replied.
"Mary, I didn't mean to hurt you!" Robbie protested.
"Yeah, well you did," Mary replied.
"I'm sorry! Can you forgive me?" Robbie asked.
"I did," Mary replied.
"It doesn't seem like it," Robbie said.
"Look, you just don't get it! You're too immature!" Mary replied.
"I'm immature? Mary, I actually finished high school and had two years of college. I dropped out for us," Robbie explained.
"How's that?" Mary asked.
"We didn't have enough time between us. Either I was too tired from school, you were working, or it was nighttime and we were both completely beat. Mary, we are married, but we're just not spending enough time together," Robbie replied.
"Oh, that's a laugh. I caught you and Cheryl making out at the promanade last Thanksgiving," Mary said.
"Mary, I've changed!" Robbie replied.
"You've said that before," Mary explained, walking out. By now, both of them had argued into tears.
