Mrs Vargas: (On the phone) Leon darling, how's my grandson? Is he good?

Leon: Great mum, he's growing up fast.

Mrs Vargas: I can't wait to visit soon with your father. How are you coping alone now that she's gone...

Leon: It's... fine. I don't really wanna talk about her now. So yeah.

Mrs Vargas: Okay but did she come back to visit?

Leon: (Sighed) Yeah, a few times. But this month, nothing.

Mrs Vargas: You've been such a responsible guy Leon. Sacrificing your career for her and your son. She's so famous right now. And what about you?

Leon: Yeah, I'm still famous... Just not as big as her. It doesn't bother me really.

Mrs Vargas: Okay then... Well Anyway, I'll talk to you soon alright. Take care now. Love you.

Leon: Love you too. (Hung up)

Leon: Oh, you drew?

Mason: (Nodded his head)

Leon: Alright, let me see it. (Took the paper)

Mason: Do you wike it?{Do you like it}

Leon: (Raised his eyebrows) Hmph, not bad. Who is that at the corner?

Mason: That mummy. {That's mummy)

Leon: Oh.... why is she all the way there?

Mason: Because mummy is always away from us and it makes me sad. And I know you are sad too.

Leon: (Kept quiet)

Mason: Where is mummy?

Leon: (Sighed and placed him on his lap) She's working.

Mason: That is the same thing you said to me a lot of times.

Leon: And that's the truth.

Mason: I don't think so.

Leon: OKAY, lets on the tv now. Let's see what's on shall we? (Switched on the tv)

Mason: (Pointed) That's mummy!

Leon: (Sighed)

Mason: I miss mummy.

Leon: I know mas.... I know.

Mason: But who is the guy? {But who is that guy?}

Leon: He's... just a friend of hers. He helps her with her work.

Mason: But why are they so close together?

Leon: Hey, remember you promised you wanted to build me the blue building? I think you should do it now.

Mason: Okay daddy! (Got up and walked over to the other side)
