FISHER HOME
"Molly,
is that you?"
"Sure is," Molly calls back as she
kicks off her shoes. She makes her way into the kitchen. "So how was your
day?"
Molly finds
her mother sitting at
the kitchen table. Paula answers, "Fine. And yours?"
"Good, I guess. Work was ... a little
crazy. There were a couple of big things going on and everyone was sort
of frantic. But it wasn't too bad." She glances down at the table, where
a notepad and pen indicate that Paula has been busy working on something.
"What are you doing?"
"I had an idea earlier and I decided
to sit down and organize my thoughts," Paula explains. "I suppose I've
been planning for a few hours now."
"Planning what?"
"Well," Paula begins, signalling
that her explanation is going to contain a preamble of sorts, "I think
you'd agree that we've all been a little ... out of it lately."
Molly nods, her lips pursed.
"I think that maybe what we need
is some time to pull together," Paula says. "As a family."
"Oh." Molly tries to keep from sounding
too alarmed, but her nerves have kicked into high gear.
"So I've decided ... I'm going to
throw a dinner party for the whole family next week." When Paula sees no
immediate response, she adds, "Good idea, huh?"
