S3E8: Exposed Pt. 1

MARCH
Noon
[Jo's house]
*Jo was home alone, sitting on the couch whilst reading a magazine. There was a knock at the door, and she got up to open it. It was a middle aged man with a work uniform on. He held a big bouquet of flowers.*

Jo: Uh...

Man: Are you... Jo Simmons?

Jo: Uh huh...

Man: Here you go.

Jo: Thanks. Uh- what are these for?

Man: You.

Jo: No- right, I see that but um... why?

Man: I don't know, lady. I just deliver flowers.

Jo: Right, sorry. But-

Man: Did you check the card?

Jo: There's a card?!

*She reached in the bouquet and pulled out a small slip of paper.*

Jo: "My deepest condolences, Sue will be missed."

Man: Sounds like a loss.

Jo: Oh! That explains the letter I got in the mail yesterday about how someone died. But I could barely read it because some old lady wrote it in sloppy cursive. *gasp* You know what! I bet it's about my great aunt Sue! Oh my. My great aunt Sue died!

Man: Oh. I'm sorry-

Jo: She was a terrible old woman. I'm surprised she was still alive. I mean... thank you.

*Jo's neighbor, Robin, overheard some of that and came walking over.*

Robin: Jo?

Jo: Yeah?

Robin: Did I hear you say someone died?

Jo: Oh yeah. My great aunt Sue.

Robin: Oh honey, I am so sorry.

Jo: No, it's-

Robin: Here, you don't need to worry about paying for food right now. I don't have time to cook anything but here is something to get you started.

*Robin slipped Jo one hundred dollars.*

Jo: Oh my-

Robin: You call me if you need anything.

Jo: I will, thank you.

*Robin walked away.*

Jo: Can you please this!

Man: Uh... no?

Jo: Me neither!

*Jo laughed and then walked back inside.*

The Same Time
[the plaza]
*Steven and Nancy were sitting on the couches at the plaza.*

Nancy: Okay, so I wanted to talk to you.

Steven: Alright.

Nancy: Well, more like ask you something.

Steven: Shoot.

Nancy: So, I don't have a dad.

Steven: Yeah.

Nancy: And even though you're not my dad, you're kind of like a dad to me... I guess. What I'm trying to say is... you're my very best friend in the whole world. And I would love it if you walked me down the aisle at my wedding.

*Steven's face lit up.*

Steven: Seriously!

Nancy: Uh huh! What do you say?
