Caleb finished the song trying to figure out Rafe's reaction to the lyrics. He got off the stage and was standing there when he saw a female walking towards the couch that everyone was sitting at. He didn't take much notice of her until he heard her voice, "Caleb, Rafe," she said cheerfully.

Rafe looked at her, and then at Caleb. "Ian-can you take the girls home for us?" he asked as Caleb gave a nod.

"What's going on?" asked Alison and Livvie at the same time.

"We'll come get you from Lucy's in a bit," said Caleb as he gave Livvie a kiss before she left.

"Let's talk," he said as he got up on the stage, and Rafe followed, and then closed the curtain.

--------

"What's going on?" asked Jack as he saw Alison and Livvie leave with Ian and Lucy. "That's it? That's all Caleb's going to play?" he said looking up and seeing the curtain had been closed also.

"Maybe they are just taking a break, that's all," said Frank. "You need to take one too-you are getting too riled up about nothing. Look, everyone is having a great time, business is better than I've seen it in a long time- I've got things under control."

"I'll be right back," he said going into the kitchen. "I knew I shouldn't have trusted Caleb and Rafe to play nice. They are probably about to kill each other out there. I guess I'm the only one who will stop them," he said as he began to go back outside before hearing a banging noise from inside the storeroom.

---------

"Are you even going to tell me goodnight?" asked Cindy as they walked into the house and Kevin began to go upstairs.

"Why should I? I-I can't believe you told that lie tonight. You were the one who said you didn't want a sympathy marriage and then the second we get around other people we're married? Cindy-maybe you should get some counseling for a change."

"I'm sorry I said what I did. I was nervous meeting everyone, and Livvie just had this look like she was about to attack or bite my head off or something. What was I supposed to say?"

"Friend, Cindy. You could have said friend. Sure it's a few extra letters from wife, but it would have made things a whole lot easier. Now I've got to figure out some way to explain this whole thing to Lucy and Livvie."

"I don't think you should."

---------

Rafe sat on the stool while Caleb stood up in front of her, "So what did we do to deserve your presence Myra?"

"You two weren't ever as much fun as the original Morley-Kovich's," she pouted.

"Well, we aren't them either. Things change Myra-unlike you, people change and generations grow up with a different respect for different things. They respected you, thought you were nothing but an innocent woman. They learned the hard way, didn't they? For centuries we've been at odds for each other, but it's all over now. So you can just go back to your little hide-a-way, or go torture someone else. Where are your sisters anyways?"

"You know Cassie-she's very easy to misplace, and Jasmine-she's actually been here all this time as a waitress. Silly thing-says she wants a real life," she said with a laugh.

"Good for Jasmine. We've got lives to go attend to now," said Rafe as he got up off the stool. "We're going to be watching you though," he said as he walked off to go get Alison, and Caleb followed.

"What do you think we should do about her?" asked Caleb under his breath.

"Nothing, for now-let's see what her first move is," said Rafe as he turned to see her standing at the edge of the stage now.

--------

"Hello?" he said unlocking the door and seeing Jasmine inside. "Hey-how'd you get locked in here?"

"My sister, remember the one I told you that would be coming to town soon? I've got to go tell Rafe and Caleb something," she said as she walked past him.

"You know them already? Please tell me you aren't one of those strange creatures that goes bump in the night," he said with a nervous laugh.

"No, I'm not a creature that goes bump in the night," she laughed. "I heard you talking a minute ago-did something already happen out there?"

"I'm not sure, just saw their wives leaving and then I didn't see them. Do you know what's going on exactly?"

She just laughed, "It's my sister, that's all. They've known her, and me, for a very very long time. When she finally decided to say hello they obviously got spooked and decided to have them leave."

"So you sure they aren't going to kill each other tonight?"

"Yeah, I'm sure," she smiled at him.

-------

"You have got to be kidding me. You want me to lie to my daughter about this? Let me explain something," he said coming down the stairs and calming his voice. "My daughter Livvie is sensitive. If she finds out you lied to her or kept something back she gets very upset and irrational. So the best thing for all of us to do is to tell her the truth as quickly as possible."

"So she's selfish-she'll get over it."

"Remember the blonde she was talking to when we came in?"

"Yeah-Alison, so?"

"Alison and Livvie were best friends at one point, but then Livvie tried to seek revenge on her multiple times. Somehow, through everything they are finally decent to each other again. I don't want to jeopardize Livvie's happiness with others, and I'm scared that not telling her the truth might just do that. Trust me, you don't want to be around when she seeks revenge."

"If she's so dangerous then why isn't she in a mental hospital?"

"Because that's where the rest of her family has ended up, and I really don't want her life to end up the same way. I love my daughters, Cindy-both Livvie and Christina, and only want the best. The best for Christina is to be raised by me and Lucy in a loving family, and the best thing for Livvie is having me to support her and try and talk her out of the irrational moments she tends to get into. The only way Livvie will let me continue to do that is if I'm completely honest with her."

"So what do you plan on doing, Dr. Collins?"

"We're going to set up a nice dinner for Lucy, Livvie, and Christina-they can get to know you, as my friend, and we'll explain the situation to them afterwards."

"And your sure she won't come after me with a stake to try and drive through my heart?"

"No," he said laughing at the irony of her statement. "I'm pretty sure that's the last thing she'll do."
