Set after the finale.
Beth's POV
I walked into my new office thinking how I'm going to decorate it, only thing I got in here is Gayles old desk and chair she left behind for me. She fucked my husband in here. "Fuck you Gayle." I mutter under my breath. I walk out the room to see him... "What are you doing here?" I yell across the big empty salesroom
"Just looking how my business is coming long." He says. "The hot tubs will be here tomorrow," What if something's wrong? What I messed something up? "Everything in order?" I ask
"Seems like it." he walks closer to me. My heart beats faster, shit I had to have done something.
"What I wanna know is, how'd you get this place for a price so low?" He stops in front of me. "The owner was Deans boss, he told me he
kissed her, I blackmailed her into letting us buy, then I found out they did more then that, asked Mick how you all stole from my house that easily done the same thing with the hot tubs to down the price, she didn't suspect a thing." I smiled trying to hide the hurt of talking about deans affair, I really thought he had changed and we would be different. I feel a tear slide down my cheek. "He's cheating again?" He looks at me "One time thing." I tried not to sound sarcastic "mhm." he says quietly. "Good thing he did, or else we probably wouldn't be in here right now." I said with a fake smile. "Yeah, good thing." He smirks.
Oh god. "You need anything else?" "Nah," he looks around the big salesroom "see you tomorrow Elizabeth." He says and walks away.

Later that night
I bought a mattress with some of the money from my cut, made Dean take the air mattress down stairs and sleep on it until I...we figure everything out. Everything just seems so fucking shitty right now.
Next morning
* alarm clock goes off.* "turn off..." I say sleepily. "Morning'" I hear a voice say. I toss over and see Rio is the corner of my bedroom with the doors to my backyard open. "Close the doors, you're going to let bugs in." I say surprisingly more calm then I should be, normally I would scream at him,but considering my kids are upstairs sleeping it's probably a good thing that I didn't.
He closes the doors. "How long you been here?" I ask rubbing my eyes. "Not long." I sigh, sitting up. "It's too early for this." I complain. "Why are you here?" I say closing my eyes almost going back to sleep. "Thought we could get a head start on the hot tubs, truck is coming by today, all hands on deck unloading them." "Dont they people to do that? I shouldn't be paying them that much to just drop them off, thought they'd be the ones to put them in place," I sigh. "That's disappointing." "It is." "Go back to sleep Elizabeth, I'll deal with unloading them, still expect to see you tonight though, yeah?" I yawn. "Okay." I immediately fall back to sleep
