Abby went out to the house, and then she waited for someone in front of it.

She got impatient.
"I"m arriving, mommy".
A little boy, who had light brown hair and brown eyes, arrived with his bag on his back. Abby took his hand and helped him to went up in the car.
"Where is daddy?"

"Hi, Abby!"
"Hi, Luka. How are you?"
"Fine, thanks. You?"
" As usual."
He was very shy, especially when he talked to her. But he looked at her and asked her :
"What will you do tonight?"
" I will take my son at school, I will go home, I will prepare the dinner just for me and Ryan and I will watch TV and .. I will sleep."
" There are a dinner with John, Susan, Doug, Carol, Mark, Elizabeth...at Doc Maggoo's... Do you want to come?"
Abby smiled.
" Is it a date?"
" You're married..."
" Half... but yes, I do."
"Fine. I will wait for you, here, at 6pm."
" Okay."
She smiled, happy and looked at Luka who was leaving.

" He hypnotized you..."
"He's very nice."
Carol arrived.
" Very sexy too."

They laughed. Doug arrived and looked at they, strangely.
" Oh God! I was the doctor the most sexy and now, you have just eyes for him."
"Poor boy", Carol said caressing his cheek." I love you, Doug".
" Happilly!"
He left to take a file. Susan turned to look at Abby. They smiled, compliced.
Abby picked up the phone and composed the phone number.
"Allo?"
"Richard?"
"No, it's his secretary."
"Oh...of course. I would like to talk with him, please."
" Who are you?"
"His wife."
" I will see."
Some secondes after, Abby heard Richard's voice.
"Yes?"
"Richard, can you take Ryan at school, this evening?"
"I can't."
"Me too."
"Calls somebody else."
"It's your son, for one time, you can take him at school..."
"I can't, I work, me."
"Me too."
Luka entered in the rest room, without Abby noticed him.
"You shit me, Richard. I'm always obliged to do everything to you and to don't disturb you. And me, you think sometimes about me?"
She picked down, furious. Abby saw Luka.
" What are you doing here? Are you here since a long time?"
" Since the..."shit me..."."
"Sorry."
"Never mind. If you want, I will finish at 4pm so I will take Ryan at school, I will return him here to the dinner".
"No... I don't want to disturb you and to annoy you with my troubles."
"It doesn't matter, I can help one of my friend."
"It's very nice...thanks."
"It's okay?"
"Yeah."
"Fine".
He went out. Abby smiled.
Abby came in th Doc Magoo's. Suddenly, a little boy arrived, running.
"Mommy!"
"Hey, boy! Good Day?"
"Yeah"
Abby kissed him on his cheek. Luka was here next to them.
"Thanks Luka."
"You're welcome."
They went to sat with the others. Mark was talking with Doug about the latestmatch of Chicago Bulls. Carol and Susan read a pregnancy book. John wasn't here yet.
"Hey Luka, Doug asked. What team you support?"
" ... oh I watched baseball, no basketball, but I will say Chicago, of course."
" Come with Doug and Mark, monday. There are a match. I give you my place."
" Why not, if they are okay."
" Yes of course. A men evening." they answered.
Abby said :
"Oh and us, a woman evening."
Carol, Susan and Abby laughed, thinking what will do, monday.
Abby and Luka went out of the restaurant. Luka carried Ryan who was sleeping.
" It was a good night."
"Yes."
"It was good to talk to you, like that."
"For me too", Luka continued. I will put down him in your car."
"Yeah".
Abby opened the car. After to deposite him. Luka looked at Abby. He kissed her on the cheel and said :
"Good night."
"Good night".
He left. Abby closed the car door and sighed.
She carried Ryan. When she entered she rose directly put down the child in his bed. She kissed him and she went to her room. She jumped on herself seeing Richard, sat on the bed, the crossed arms and with an angry glance.
" I believed that you would not enter, tonight."
"And me, I believed that you would be here."
" I'm tired. I don't want to talk with you."
"But, we are going to talk. Who is he?"
"Who?"
" The man who was taking Ryan at school?"
"Luka."
"Oh! The famous Luka..."
"He had suggestedtaking Ryan at school because he finished before me."
"I don't want that this guy approaches my son. You heard me?"
"If you are not satisfied, the next time you will manage to go to take your son or you will ask your secretary."
Richard began to threaten Abby, of the finger.
"I don't want more than he gets involved in our business."
"Stop! He is just to fetch him at the school! In more Ryan appreciates Luka."
"And me, I don't want that he appreciates him!"
Richar caught Abby by the arm, squeezing it very hardly.
"You hurt me! Stop!"
Abby felt Richard's anger. He hit her to the face.
"Ahh!"
"Stop to scream!"
"Stop to hit me. Please."
Abby was fallen on the floor. Her nose blooded. She cried. Richard caught her by shoulders and slapped her. Suddenly, Ryan appeared at the door.
"Daddy... Stop! Stop to hit mommy!"
Ryan ran to his father and hit him with his little hand.
"Stop! Daddy!"
Richard turned to his son and slapped him. Ryan began to cry, his cheek became red. Abby stood up, she took Ryan in her arms and ran in the stairs. She took their jacket and left. Abby opened, rapidly the door of her car.
"Go! Go up! Quickly."
Richard went out to the house.
"Stay here!"
Abby didn't listen to him. She went up and left, without to return herself.
Luka was in the kitchen, cooking a meal. The music was switch on, it was Secret of Maroon 5. He sang.
"Car overheats, Jump out of my seat. On the side of the highway baby. Our road is long, Your hold is strong. Please don't ever let go"
Someone knocked at the door. He dried his hands and went to open. Abby appeared. She was deformed.
"Abby? What happened?"
" I didn't know where...go..."
"Come in."
He took Ryan.
" I'm going to put down on my bed, i will return."
Abby looked around her. A big flat just for him. His flat was reflecting his personality : dark, mysterious... He arrived with the case of help. He went to switch off the music but Abby said :
" No... Let it."
"Okay, sit down."
She sat on the sofa.
" Is it Richard...?"
"Yup..."
" How long does he hit you?"
" Always..."
She smiled ironically.
"I'm used."
" Did you already call the police?"
"Why? He's lawyer."
"And?"
" I can't do anything."
" You must do something. It's not good for you and Ryan."
" He hit him...(She began to cry) He hit my son..."
Luka caressed her cheek.
"How can I help you? Say to me."
" You can't. He hold me... If I leave, I will not have house, money..."
She put her head on Luka's chest.
" Oh Luka..."
She cried. Luka caressed her hair.
" I'm here... Sssshhhh... I'm here. Don't worry. I will help you. I swear you. I will help you."
He kissed her hair, smelling them.
