~ SUNDAY, MARCH 10, 2019 ~ MORNING ... REALLY MORNING ~ LILA's HOUSE ~

Lila enters the kitchen, yawning, and to her surprise finds Artemis struggling with pots and pans over the electric stove.

Lila: In God's name! What are you doing here so early?

Artemis turns and smiles at her cousin.

Artemis: Good morning to you too, cousin.

Lila: Do you have any idea what time it is?

Artemis: Seven?

Lila: That's right! What the hell are you doing in the kitchen at seven in the morning?

Artemis: I'm cooking.

Lila: I can see that. The question is, what are you cooking and more importantly, for whom?

Artemis: I'm making a dessert for Stefan's parents. It's my first time going to their house and I can't go empty handed.

Lila: You know, cousin, there are some stores that are full of desserts, they're called confectioneries.

Artemis: Thanks for the info, but do you really think Stefan will let me buy anything?

Lila: You have a point there.

Artemis: And besides, the confectioneries here don't have that particular dessert.

Lila: What are you making?

Artemis: Galaktoboureko. I remember my grandfather telling me that the Prince was crazy about it.

Lila: Oh, my gosh! I love that dessert!

Artemis: If you dare touch it, I swear I'll cut off your hand! This is just for the Prince and his Angel.

Lila: Just for them?

Artemis: What do you mean?

Lila: What about their son? Won't he get a taste of it too? Or will you keep a piece of you for him?

Artemis: Not just a piece. If he wants it, I'm willing to give him everything.

Lila: I see.

Artemis sits down next to Lila at the table.

Artemis: Why are you reacting like this? Do you think I'm wrong?

Lila: No. No.

Artemis: Then what's it?

Lila: What if the child is his, Artemis? What are you going to do then?
