Cheers&Departing

Fran-I can't believe it Cami! You and Maxi!

Vilu-I am so happy for you Cami!

Cami-Thanks girls!

Fran-This all requires a toast. To Cami and Maxi.

Cami-To Vilu and Leon's healthy beautiful baby.

Vilu-And to Fran's upcoming wedding.

All-Cheers!

Vilu-So how are you and Diego?

Fran-Great we are both excited and life is really good. You know if you told me 10 years ago that I was going to marry Diego , I wouldn't believe you.

*They all laugh*

Cami-And if you told me I was going to be with Maxi...

Vilu-Well if you told me that Leon and I would be happily married with beautiful kids, I would believe you.

Fran-Well we aren't all as lucky as you Vilu at instantly finding your perfect match.

Vilu-I know.

*They laugh again*

*KNOCK KNOCK*

Fran-I will get it.

*Fran opens the door *

Fran-Marco.

Marco-Francesca

*Marco comes inside and closes the door*

Fran-Come in(!)

Marco-I have something important to say.

Fran-What?

Marco-I am leaving tonight and came to say goodbye to Carlotta.

Fran-I thought you were leaving after the honeymoon.

Marco-Yes but the place I am staying wants me to move in right away or  I can't stay there.

Fran-CARLOTTA!

Carlotta-Yes Mom... Dad!

*Carly runs to Marco and he hugs her*

Carly-What are you doing here?

Marco-I have to go to Mexico.

Carly-Now?

Marco-Yess.

Carly-But you promised to stay until after the wedding.

Marco-I know but I have to leave.

Carlotta-(Hugs him tighter) But Daddy I don't want you to go!

Marco-I am so sorry.

*Carly lets go*

Carly-Bye Daddy

*Carly runs upstairs crying*

Vilu-Should I go?

Fran-Yes please Vilu ,I need to talk to Marco.

*Vilu goes after Carly*

Fran-You didn't have to leave straight away do you?

Marco-I thought it would be easier.

Fran-You are a coward Marco. Now I have to pick up the pieces of your mess.

Marco-Fran

Fran-Get out Marco.

Marco-I am sorry..

Fran-Did you hear me?

Marco-Ok I will leave. Should I call you when I get there?

*Fran ignores him and opens the door signalling for him to leave*

Cami-Bye Marco

Marco-Bye Cami. Fran

*Marco walks out the door while Diego comes in*

Diego-Hey.

*Diego kisses Fran's forehead*

Diego-What's going on?

Fran-Marco is going to Mexico now and Carly is distraught.

Diego-Where is she?

Fran-Upstairs with Vilu.

Diego-Why would he leave so suddenly?

*Vilu comes down the stairs*

Fran-How is she?

Vilu-Upset but I think I calmed her down. I told her that Marco had to go see his parents because it was important because she wanted answers and I didn't have one. She wanted to be alone.

Fran-Thanks Vilu.

Vilu-Hey I need to go Leon wants to meet. Bye

*Vilu leaves*

Cami-I should go too. Bye Fran.Diego

*Cami leaves*
