By the time Beth reached Shaylynn's she still hadn't had a reply from Kelly. She parked as close to the house as she could then ran up to the front door. She was soaked. Shaylynn smiled at her when she opened the door.

SHAYLYNN: You arrive like a drowned rat and still look good!

BETH: Get me a towel

SHAYLYNN: And can those shorts get any tinier? Have you put on weight?

BETH: I've been eating out for weeks! Is my ass hanging out of them?

SHAYLYNN: No! Well you look better for it!

Beth walked into the house and an excited Jacquelyn ran up and threw her arms around her.

JACQUELYN: Urghhhh! You're all wet!

BETH: Well it is raining! (laughing)

Beth gave her a kiss

JACQUELYN: I missed you!

BETH: I'm glad somebody did! I missed you too peanut!

JACQUELYN: Please don't call me a peanut!

BETH: Sorry squirt!! .... Shit I don't mean to say that!

JACQUELYN: You're as bad as Uncle Kelly!

SHAYLYNN: Go and get Aunt Beth a towel please

JACQUELYN: Okay!

BETH: Where are my nephew's

JACQUELYN: They're having a nap!

Jacquelyn ran up the stairs leaving Beth and Shaylynn walking to the kitchen

SHAYLYNN: Coffee?

BETH: Sure

SHAYLYNN: Cookies?

BETH: No! I'm fat enough apparently!

SHAYLYNN: Behave! Whats happening? Have you spoke to Kelly?

Beth sat at the island

BETH: Yeah, he came over to the house and we argued, again. Mark and I wont be talking to each other no more. I phoned him before driving here.

SHAYLYNN: Are you sure it's for good this time?

Shaylynn looked at Beth's reaction

BETH: Yeah, it's for good! Is Jay working?

SHAYLYNN: Probably!

BETH: Where is he?

SHAYLYNN: I don't know where he is!

BETH: Have you two fell out?

SHAYLYNN: I threw him out!

BETH: Why?

SHAYLYNN: It doesn't matter why! it was stupid! I'll phone him later!

BETH: I don't want you two arguing as well!

SHAYLYNN: It's a blip! Honestly!

BETH: It better be!

SHAYLYNN: So, you and Kelly? What's your plan of action?

BETH: I don't know!

Shaylynn handed Beth a cup of coffee then went and stood by the opened kitchen door.  The rain had now stopped and the sun was shining through the open door.
