Bree opened the door to the Van De Kamp household, immediately going to dry off her hair with a towel as she switched the heating on. It wasn't until she had dried her hair, changed her clothes and hung them to dry, did she see Danielle lying asleep on the sofa, one hand draped across her stomach and her hair fluffed slightly as it flowed off the arm rest, the phone lying desperately by her side.
"Danielle." Bree breathed softly and her daughter awoke slowly, looking up at her mother before everything registered.
"Mama?" she asked and jumped up to hug her mother. "Where's dad?"
"He's gone back to the motel." Bree smiled her cheap and plastic smile again.
"Why?" Danielle asked her mother, watching as her eyes flashed fear.
"Just because he picks me up in this weather, doesn't change that we're getting divorced honey." Bree explained and Danielle's face fell, as did Bree's world.
"But he was so worried about you." Danielle protested.
"Sweetie, we've been married for 18 years, and when you've been married for that long you develop a sense of affection and you care very deep about each other. But to keep that marriage together you need to be in love, and your dad and I, aren't." She may of still loved Rex but she wouldn't explain that side of her problem to her 15 yr old daughter.
Danielle didn't say anything instead she nodded and hugged her mother once more.
"Have you eaten?" Bree asked the girl who nodded.
"Er, yeah. I got take out. I borrowed some money, I'll pay you back though." Danielle stammered.
"Don't worry about it." Bree spoke softly as her daughter left her arms before retreating into the kitchen, returning a while later with the letter sent from Rex to Bree.
"Mom, don't get angry, I read it." Danielle explained and Bree took the letter, smiling slightly.
"That was a long, long time ago." Bree smiled as she recalled the memories.
They sat in silence until Danielle spoke; shattering the silence simply like it was glass.
"It's very beautiful." Danielle commented and Bree smiled dreamily.
"Yes he had a way with words. But that's all over and done with now." Bree sighed and Danielle smiled slightly, concern was coming over her.
I want to talk about my sweetie,
Yes, she's gorgeous, her name is Bree.
She is the one I will forever love,
She is the one that's sent from above.
Danielle's mind began to tick into over time as she thought of a way she could help get her parents together, little did she know Rex was already working on it.
