Chapter 3-Ava and Simon are taking a stroll down the almost-empty beach after dinner.-
They're holding hands and their arms are swaying together in fluid motion as they sporadically glance at each other.
Back at the house, Johnny walks past a window and two figures catch his eye. He immediately recognizes them as Ava and Simon walking on the beach. Sighing softly, he continues his way up the stairs and to his room.
Ava and Simon do not say a word, and the only sounds are the waves and sea gulls. They arrive at a small cave and stop at the entrance. It's dark, yet there is some light from the moon. They kiss passionately for a couple of seconds. Slowly, they drop down to the fine grains of sand. The fiery kiss now turns into an intense make-out session. They can't seem to get enough of each other. Ava roughly pulls off Simon's t-shirt, while Simon unhurriedly takes off Ava's shirt. Ava jingles Simon's belt as she quickly unbuckles it. Simon starts to caress her neck with his gentle kisses. The rest of the clothes find themselves on the sand, scattered about. Ava rolls onto Simon and they stare into each other's eyes for a moment.
Simon, caught up in the moment, says, "I never want to be apart from you again. I love you so much, Ava."
Ava's eyes twinkled in the moonlight as she smiled. "I love you too, Simon." They became one, and for the first time in a long time Ava's feelings for Johnny were completely gone. They fall asleep in each other's arms, Ava's head resting upon Simon's chest.
-Fade out to the house where Derrick, Johnny, and Nikki are sitting on the couch watching a movie-
"I wonder where Aunt Ava is," little Derrick asked innocently. He peered over at Johnny who shrugged, but kept his eyes on the TV.
Nikki also turned her attention from the screen and gazed at Johnny. Johnny felt the stares and looked at both of them, exclaiming, "What!? I don't know where she is." He focused on the TV, as did Derrick and Nikki after a second. All three were asleep a short time later. At around 10:30, Bradin comes in, slamming the door. Only Johnny awakens.
Johnny turns around and whispers, "Hey, quiet." He nods his head in the direction of the sleeping Derrick. Bradin silently tiptoes upstairs. Nikki stirs and is now semi-conscious, opening her eyes.
Johnny murmurs faintly, "Sorry. I'll carry him up to his bed. Good night, Nikki. You should go to bed, too." She nods and heads for her room, behind Johnny carrying the slumbering Derrick. After tucking in Derrick, he heads back down to the living room, next to the front door to wait for Ava to return.
-Fade out to Susannah on the phone with Anastasia-
Susannah sat up on her pink bedspread and tried to get Anastasia to listen. "—But Anastasia, I can't just move to New York to be close to you. I have three kids here to take care of." Susannah protested.
"Are they your children?" Anastasia countered, knowing that they weren't.
Susannah sighed. "No, they're not." She tucked her hair behind her ear and knew that she had lost the battle.
"Good, so problem solved. I will book the flight for this coming Friday, so that you have the weekend to get unpacked and all that crap."
"Wait. Are you sure that it is absolutely necessary for me to relocate like this?" Susannah asked one last time, even though she was pretty confident of the answer.
"Why, yes Susannah. It is absolutely necessary for good business for you to relocate to New York. Or else, I will have to let you go." Anastasia cornered Susannah, thinking she would cave in to the deal.
Susannah was silent on the other line, thinking about the big decision. "I'm sorry, then. I can't go to New York, Anastasia. Good-bye." As she hung up, she heard Anastasia curse. She fell back onto the backboard of the bed and sighed heavily, wondering if she had made a big mistake.
