Place: Roni's

Regina's p.o.v

Carrying the weight of the world, she sits down at the bar. She doesn't perk up at the sight of me.

The light, joy has gone from her pretty green eyes. I remember her, but I doubt she remembers me.

I play it safe and cool by pretending this is the first time that we have met. "Hello, my name is Roni" I

introduce myself to Emily. I offer Emily wine to drink. She gladly accepts my kind gesture. "My name

is Emily. I am a single mother. I have two sons named Killian and Collin. Killian is eight years old.

Collin is a two day old preemie. He was born sixteen weeks early" She confides in me. "I have two

Kids myself. Their names are Avalon and Solomon. Avalon, also known as Ava, is seventeen years

old. She was born two months early. She arrived October twenty ninth instead of December

thirteenth. My son, Solomon is nine years old" I share with Emily. Sabine enters the restaurant and I

introduce her to Emily. We bond over kids and babies especially the premature ones. I am glad to

call these ladies my friends. Unexpectedly, Henry interrupts our happy hour. Emily's presence

restores some of Henry's memories. He claims he is her son. Unable to handle the truth, she

leaves the restaurant.
