Crystal; Daddy? Looking down.
Michael; Yes baby girl? Smiling looking down at his daughter as he drives.
Crystal; Can we stop at school first?
Michael; Frowning school? Why? Your sister needs her rest. You will be in school tomorrow okay?
Sylvia; Daddy; You don’t understand!! It’s important please!!
Michael: Now girls. You will see your friends tomorrow okay?
Crystal; No daddy it isn’t that!! I have to get something from my desk!! I have too!! A tear trickles down her cheek and Michael wipes it away not understanding what could be so important.
Sylvia; Daddy please!! We have to!! She begins to cry.
Michael pulls the car over to the curb. My babies, what is all this? Please, I don’t understand. Why are you crying? Please don’t cry, tell me. He’s sad and worried now.
Crystal; We can’t!! You’ll hate us!! They both cry harder.
Michael pulling his daughter into his arms I could never hate you tow. I love you!! You are my babies. My precious princesses. He rocks Crystal. Please don’t be so sad and tell me.
Sylvia; We have Dina’s Fabrige egg!! We took it!! It’s in my desk!! Crying.
Michael could not believe his ears. Did his daughters really just tell him they are the cause of some of Dina’s sadness? Of her heartbreak? He didn’t want to believe it but he could see the truth of it in their little eyes. Oh girls. Do you know how bad you hurt her? Why would you do that? She really loved you both? Always treated you kind and never yelled or hurt you! She took all your pranks and not once told me anything ever. But I knew of some and thought she would tell me but she didn’t not a one. And now, you take the one thing that was more precious to her? As a joke?! We didn’t raise you like this! Why girls? Why would you do this? Michael was so angry and hurt at his children. They could see it and hear it in his voice. They disappointed him deeply hurt his heart very badly.
Crystal; We didn’t want her or anyway taking you away. We thought you would love her more than us crying. We’re sorry daddy!!
Sylvia; We didn’t mean to. She cries.
Crystal We were wrong and we want to tell her we were. Sylvia and I know you love her too daddy we see it.
Sylvia; Yes we want you to be happy!! Tell her you love her!! Don’t let her go! She stayed with me in the hospital the whole time even after I was so mean. Crying
Michael; It’s too late my babies. She’s leaving she doesn’t love me. You can only hurt people so much before they can’t take anymore and leave.
Crystal; Daddy Dina loves you. I saw how she looks at you!! Please daddy don’t let her go!!
Sylvia; We want her to stay!!
Michael; Girls you have hurt her too badly. So have I. I too thought she could never love me so I was very distant with her. Don’t you two know? Crystal, Sylvia. You are my babies no one will ever take my love from you but I too need love. Want someone to love me. But you will always be my babies. Tears slip from his eyes.
Crystal. Hugging him We’re sorry daddy.
Sylvia; Please daddy we have to get Dina to stay.
MEANWHILE…..
Dina had just finished loading up her car and was going back into the house to make one more check make sure house was clean and their meal was waiting for them. She wiped her tears and placed the note on the table.
Dear Mr. Jackson and girls,

I am glad Sylvia is better and coming home to you. You are a good man Mr. Jackson. You daughters are amazing….
Dina Santos.
Then she left the house, looking the door. Dina got in her car and drove away.
Moments later Michael pulls up to the house and sees Dina’s car isn’t there. He already knows what his heart doesn’t want to believe. She is gone. He goes into the house the girls go running in too.
Crystal; DINA!! DINA!!
Sylvia; DINA!! WHERE ARE YOU?? Running into her room. It was empty. They looked everywhere
Crystal went into the kitchen to tell her daddy they couldn’t find her. She sees him sitting at the table crying.
Crystal; Daddy/? Why are you crying? It’s Dina huh? She’s gone and it’s our fault. Crystal begins to cry. Syliva comes in and see them crying and knows it’s too late She’s gone and they are to blame.
