Sidney comes completely into the room and has a seat on the edge of the bed.
Sally: I wanted to apologize. I lost my temper downstairs I'm sorry. I know this is hard for you it is very hard on me too. I understand why you're upset.
Michelle shakes her head.
Michelle: No you don't understand. You don't understand at all. I left my life in Woodsboro thinking my life was over when Steve died. I new I had the perfect man the perfect boyfriend.
Sally: Nobody is perfect Jill everybody makes mistakes.
Michelle: But didn't you see what I'm missing. He just went and saved our asses and we've never met him before. He did it like it was nothing.
Sally sighs.
Sally: I admit that was very brave and pretty incredible.
Michelle turns around and faces Sally.
Michelle: Do we have to leave?
Sally: This is for your own good.
Michelle: I know. But for the first time in a long time I feel like I belong.
Sally: Jill. I'm not even worried about people finding out I'm more worried by those cops. there is something very wrong there. They locked me up in jail for no reason. I'm just want to do what's best for you.
Michelle: Please! There's ways around those things. Can't you talk to Mark?
Sally sighs and gives her a soft smile.
Sally: I'll try. I can't make any promises
Michelle: Thank you.
Michelle hugs Sally nearly knocking her off the bed. Sally is surprised but hugs back., after a long 15 seconds Sally looks confused.
Sally: You know you can let go now Jill.
Michelle let's go and smiles.
Michelle: Sorry.
Sally: Since Steve's here for a few days..
Sally reaches into her pcoket and pulls out a 100 dollar bill.
Sally: Go out and have some fun with him Dawn, maybe Owen. Just make sure Owen doesn't say anything.
Michelle: Really?
Sally: And since I know how much you've wanted to see Steve you have no curfew okay?
Michelle: Thanks mom.

Sally: It's from about two years ago. I'll let you read it alone.
Sally finishes her coffee and puts it in the sink and then heads upstairs. Michelle takes a seat at the table and opens it.
Michelle: Dear Jill. I know choosing Kirby to be the godmother of Brianna was a very surprising choice. I know when it comes to choosing somebody to be your child's guardian if something happens to you it's a very hard choice because nobody is their mother. So we have to choose somebody like her mother. Kirby and I are a like in many ways. Nobody is like you Jill. You're stronger then all of us put together. You've been through it all and no matter how many times people knock you down you'll get right back up. I no that no matter what if something happens to me or to Steve that you will make sure everybody is kept together. If something happens give her a chance because I'm sure she will come to you for advice every day. I love you Jill and you're my best friend. you're not my best friend you're my sister. I love you and I'm sorry if I upset you. Jessica.
A tear falls from Michelle's eyes as she read the eltter that Jessica had been talking about hours earlier.

Dewey: Kirby you're legally drunk.
Meghan: Get upstairs.
