Every morning The Barnett's would follow the same ritual, Neela would get up early, make breakfast for Jasmine, and Ray. Ray gets up, showers, get dressed, and goes to the kitchen. He kisses her little girl and his beautiful wife. Neela gets Jasmine ready for pre-school, and gets ready for work. Ray would take Jasmine to school, and they went on their way happy and complete. But, the last couple of months the routine is the same except that Ray and Neela were not happy, Ray did not greet Neela in the mornings and Jasmine luckily did not realize that her parents were drifting apart. This one morning Neela was off from work, and after Ray left with Jasmine she made a call to an old friend.
"Hello."
"Hey, Abby how are you? It's Neela."
"Hey Neela, how are you doing?"
"Okay."
"Neela I know you, what is wrong?"
"Well"
"Is it Jasmine?"
"No, Jasmine is perfect, she has gotten so smart, and she is the best thing in my life."
"And Ray?"
Neela was quick for a second.
"Neela what did Ray do, or what did you do?"
"I think Ray hates me again."
Neela told Abby about the job interview, and how their relationship went downhill since then.
"Oh Neela, I am so sorry. But Ray can not blame you everytime something slows him down. And Ray loves you very, very much."
Neela was crying on the phone at this point.
"I thought we got passed this but he has brought back all of these ghost."
"Neela, you cannot think he will ever forget, but I think you two need some alone time to think."
"Luka and I had a brief moment that we needed some alone time and we were able to think and regroup."
"You and Luka?"
"Yes, we are also human, we are not the super couple."
"Sorry."
"I know listen why don't you and Jasmine come up to Chicago for a couple of days. It is starting to snow and Jasmine has never seen the snow she'll love it. And Joe misses his friend."
"That does sound good, I'll talk to Ray about it tonight, and I call you tomorrow, thanks for the talk Abby."
"No problem Neela."
"Bye"
"Bye."
