"Good morning, Daddy," Beth greeted.

"Yes, it is," John responded.

"Have you been practicing yoga?" Beth inquired with a teasing smile.

"Practicing what?" John asked, genuinely puzzled.

"I'm just trying to understand this new inner peace you've found," Beth explained.

John sighed. "What this place is facing... it isn't an enemy. It's a perspective. It's a shift in values."

"The world doesn't value your way of life anymore, Dad," Beth remarked.

"I know," John admitted.

"You can't delegate this fight to fuckin' Jamie. Okay, and... Kayce, he just doesn't have the patience or the skill. And... I can't do it by myself," Beth confessed.

"But you have to, honey. You have to teach Kayce. And you have to learn how to trust Jamie," John urged.

"Trust Jamie? Wait, you're the... you're the one telling me I shouldn't trust Jamie," Beth retorted.

"What does it matter, Beth, if I keep this place for another ten years and the three of you lose it because you couldn't figure it out?" John questioned.

Beth, frustrated, began to walk away toward the house, "No, no," she muttered.
