They continued to talk over their desserts, Gavin apologizing repeatedly for the way he acted before Athena left, he admitted that he had been a bit controlling, and even though she already said yes, he begged her over and over to move back home.

A: Alright, I admit it. Jacques was a bit more than a friend…

G: Was?

A: I broke it off with him. I knew we couldn’t make this work if I was still seeing him.

G: That’s very mature of you, Athena. But tell me one thing…why did you start seeing him in the first place?

A: Oh Gavin, I was so lonely at home. With you gone at work, I just…Jacques made me feel appreciated and special. Not that you didn’t either, I was just nice to hear from someone…

G: …I’m so sorry Athena. I promise, I’ll start working more around the house and stuff…just, please come home.

The next day…

A: Hey Jacques, can I talk to you?

J: Sure Athena.

A: I really appreciate you letting me stay with you and your family…but I think I need to break off whatever is going on between us. I need to focus on my marriage and the baby, and having a side relationship just isn’t going to work. Can we just go back to being friends?

J: Of course we can. I wouldn’t have it any other way.  

Athena: Thank you Luna! You are too kind! You actually ate the meal I thoughtfully made for all of you as a thank you for letting me stay here.

Luna: Uh, yeah…

Max: I don’t even know you, lady. Like I’m gonna eat anything you make.
