*Shonda pulls into her circular driveway. She quietly reflects....*

I have so much, but why do I want more? I have a good man at home and two beautiful girls. I have a job that I love and the money that I got from my father has me set for life. How I wish I could confide in Caleb. Sometimes I truly do think Caleb is with me because of the money. If he only knew how much I really have to give him...love, friendship and even loyalty. He was so charming at the state university - member of the oldest black fraternity, star football player and a great student. He had so much potential. What happened? Was I the reason for his downfall? Should I have spoke up and told him not to lie about his injured knee? I watched him play that rainy day and with a wrong twist of his knee, I saw his hopes of playing professionally disappear. It hurt so bad to see my man feeling down, but after 10 years, he still is in the dumps. I wish he would snap out of it and move on.

*Walks into her home, places down her bags and is greeted by her beautiful daughters.*

"Hey girls! Did you miss Mommy? I'm sure Daddy took very good care of you. Huh, what? He was too busy talking on the phone? Who was he talking to? Girls, go upstairs to your room...Mommy needs to have some grown folk time with your Daddy."

"Caleb! Caleb!" Shonda screamed.

"Why are you allowing our girls to hear your conversation with another woman? And what the hell is Iya calling for?"

"Don't answer, I'll deal with you later. I have to run to the hospital and check on Pollie. Also, Tangi just got in town and I have to call her and welcome her home. Don't wait up."
