[they go to the playroom]

RYLEE; [while playing she looks up at noah] why dada go bye bye?

NOAH; [freezes for a second and then he tears up]

RYLEE; [walks over to him and wipes his tears] dada ok? no cry....

NOAH; dada's fine princess, thank you....

RYLEE; why cry?

NOAH; come here [pats his lap]

RYLEE; [sits on his lap]

NOAH; thinking* speak simply so she'll understand....* dada didn't want to go bye bye, i had to go because mama was too beautiful for dada and he didn't deserve her, dada was a bold boy to mama and said bad things that he hates himself for..... mama and you will always be my girls no matter what, even if me and mama aren't together [smiles and kisses her head]

DIXIE; [hears everything from behind the door, tears up and goes back to her room again]
