     Alicia woke up to a cold and empty right side of her, she raises up slowly and she sighs because she really hoped that River was in the house or outside as he usually was. She rubs her stomach because she was so hungry and she felt like she didn't eat anything in reality, she didn't even eat dinner last night. She couldn't even get herself to eat and it pained her severely because she needed to.

Alicia sat in the bed for a minute, taking in the sun rays. She got up, got dressed and she walks out of her bedroom on to Yanni's. She walks into his room and he was sitting next to his frog tank, he about seven frogs and they were all really big frogs and Alicia hates it because he would let them out all over his room sometimes in the house. She walks in being careful she didn't step on one. "Good Morning." Alicia smiles and Yanni looks up, he gave her a blank expression before looking down again.

He held a small little toad frog, Alicia recalls that he didn't have a toad let alone a reddish brown one. "You caught another one?" Alicia questioned and Yanni nodded as he looks up at her, he holds it to her and she takes the toad from him. She crouches down and she sits next to him. She held the toad and she smiles as she looks at him. "Very pretty." Alicia stares at the frog and Yanni sits down next to her. "I named her Penelope." Yanni mumbled and Alicia gives him the toad because she is starting to get really grossed out but was trying so hard to not show it. "Did you eat?" Alicia questioned and Yanni shakes his head. "Daddy, didn't make any breakfast, he left somewhere." Yanni tells her and Alicia closed her eyes, she exhales from her nose and she gets up. "Where did you think he went?" Alicia questioned Yanni, the little boy started to think about it as he closed his eyes.

"Uncle Kiki was really mad at him before he left even Uncle Joaquin, they haven't come back yet but Grandma said she was gonna go into town and find out how people know about um you know..." Yanni explained and Alicia clears her throat, she nodded and she motions him to get up. "Come... let's go get some breakfast but we need to wash our hands." Alicia says and Yanni gets up, he grabs her hand and they leave the room. They go downstairs, she called for her chauffer Lionel who was her chauffeur and bodyguard ever since she was just ten years old.

They wait outside and Yanni stood next to her, she did his hair. She tied it back so he can see because it was about time for him to get a trim. Lionel arrives and he gets out of the car, he was this really tall white guy, he had red hair that was always slicked back and he had a dangling hoop earring. Very handsome man and Lionel immediately hugs Alicia because he has seen the news and stuff, it was all just so much. "How are you doing little Ali?" Lionel questioned and Alicia holds onto him, his large hand rubbing his back. She tried so hard to not cry because it felt very nice to hug someone who was very special to her and that she trusted but also knew that she wouldn't ever betray her, he has been loyal to her for so long. "I'm alright Lionel, I'm breathing and that's all that matters." Alicia answered and she pulls away from him, he smooths her hair out that was coming out of her bun while he caresses her cheek.
