DuBuis was placing boards up on the gaping hole left by the shattered glass living room window while he almost reluctantly told his husband about the diagnosis.  When he had finished he looked over at Spencer who sat in his chair, smiling softly and saying," Well I'm glad we finally know what is wrong. We can get through this, sweetie. Same way we do everything. Together. Right? "

DuBuis smiled back and it felt like a giant boulder had rolled off his back. " Right, Genius. "

Glory and Rebecca were at the beauty salon having their hair done for the wedding the next day. As well as manicures and pedicures. And Andrew was at the toy shop next door buying a deluxe doll house with working electricity for Rebecca.

Sol and Luci were lounging on the floor in Theodore's bedroom as he reclined back in his bed with his arm and shoulder in a temporary sling. Sol had come up with a " brilliant" plan for Theodore to tell everyone at Bougie Academy that he had been shot saving Luci in a shootout between two warring gangs. Theodore was skeptical but Luci laughed and said it was just crazy enough to work.

Nigel was kneeling on a hard concrete floor with duct tape around his mouth and his hands and ankles tied securely.

He looked at his kidnapper and prayed that Richard would not show up because Lonnie had told him he was going to kill him when he did.

He also prayed that when Lonnie killed him it would be quick.

He closed his eye. He missed Richard. He missed Rebecca. His family.

A single tear slipped down his cheek from his eye.

Please, Richard, he prayed. Please don't come. Stay alive for Rebecca and the boys.
