It's later that evening. Carlotta has just left. Dorian is in the living
room. David enters.
David: Andrew called. River and Adriana are going to spend the night at the rectory.
Dorian: Are they all right?
David: They will be. Is Car-loh-ta okay?
Dorian: No, she's not. I don't know if she ever will be again.
David: I think you better tell me everything.
Dorian: You're right. I think it's time I told you the truth.
Later...
David: So that's why you didn't want to marry me and that's why you've been so jumpy?
Dorian: Yes, I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.
David: All that matters is that I know now. And don't worry, I'm not going anywhere and I won't let anything happen to your child.
The next day, Dorian is getting ready to go to work. There's a knock on her bedroom door. Dorian opens it.
Dorian: Adriana!
Adriana: Hi, Mom.
Dorian (with tears in her eyes): Hi, sweetheart. (She hugs Adriana then pulls back.) Let me look at you. You are so beautiful. You look so much like Cassie. I don't know why I didn't see it before.
Adriana: Dorian, are you okay?
Dorian: Never been better in my whole life now that you're here. Are you okay? I hope last night didn't upset you too much.
Adriana: I'm fine. It's not like I learned something I didn't already know.
Dorian: Then why did you leave?
Adriana: I was taught not to disrespect my elders. I guess I was just shocked at what River and Antonio did.
Dorian: Don't be too mad at them. They meant well. Besides, they are men. They're not as smart as we are.
Adriana (smiling): I'll try to remember that.
Dorian: Oh, honey, I'd love to stay and chat but I'm going to be late for work.
Adriana: Isn't today the day you find out if you are a match for Viki's kidney?
Dorian: Oh, you're right. In all the excitement I forgot about that. I better go. I love you. I hope you know that.
Adriana: I do. (After Dorian leaves) I love you, too.
