Next morning Delia sat on her bed and leafed through a book. Ephram entered the house while Andy was leafing through one of his textbooks in his room. Ephram sat down on the sideboard and sipped at his cup of juice. Suddenly the back door opened and Nina and Marcy came in.

Nina: Where's Delia? (She looked at Ephram)

Ephram: Hi again. She's in her room. (He put down his cup)

Andy: I knew I heard your voice. (He came downstairs)

Marcy: I'll fetch her. (She ran upstairs)

Andy: Do you want a drink?

Nina: No, thanks.

Andy: (He sipped at his cup of coffee) You saw Marcy home yesterday?

Nina: Yeah, Delia probably told you.

Andy: Only a few details. Did you make her talk?

Nina: (She knew of his intentions but she ignored them) Why not? Marcy talked to you too yesterday.

Andy: I didn't mean Marcy.

Nina: I know but I won't spy Madison out, Andy.

Andy: I only asked if she's ok.

Nina: Yeah as the case may be.

Marcy jumped downstairs and sat down beside Ephram.

Marcy: She'll be here in a few minutes. (She looked at Nina and smiled)

Delia ran upstairs and smiled at Nina.

Delia: Ready to go!

Andy: Ready to go where?

Marcy: Rehearsal!

Andy: Rehearsal?

Delia: Yeah rehearsal of Joe Lies. That's Madison's band.

Ephram looked up and listened to Delia's words. Madison joined to her old band? Maybe she's dating Jay or the drummer. Perhaps she got engaged to someone and Marcy is his child of the first marriage.

Delia: Do you want to come along with us, Ephram? (She smiled at Ephram)

Andy stared at Delia shocked while he hearing her words.

Marcy: Oh yeah, good idea.

Ephram: I think this isn't such a good idea.

Marcy: Why not?

Ephram: There are a plenty of reasons.

Marcy looked down sad and Andy took it easy.

Nina: (She looked at her watch) We have to go, sweetie.

Marcy: Ok, let's go. (She said sad)

Delia took Marcy by her hand and they left while Ephram's mobile phone was ringing.

Ephram: (He picked up) Yeah?

Bright: Hi man.

Ephram: Hi, what's up?

Bright: Will you go out with me tonight? There's a party at the "Hook".

Ephram: I don't know. I'm not disposed.

Bright: Ephram, please. There'll be a lot of hot chicks.

Ephram: I don't want to see your hot chicks. I'm not that stupid!

Bright: Ephram, please!

Ephram: (He hesitated) Ok, I don't mind.

Bright: Thanks, you're the best. When do you come home?

Ephram: When do you want to go?

Bright: 08:00 pm if that's ok for you.

Ephram: Ok, I'll be home at 07:30 pm.

Bright: Ok, see you later.

Ephram hung up and got up.

Andy: Who was on the phone?

Ephram: Bright, we go to one of his funny parties.

Andy: I see!

Ephram jumped upstairs and entered his old room. He sat down on his old bed and looked at his picture from Central Park. He put back and laid down on his bed and thought about the events of the past few days.
