Tan: where’s my money?
Chance: relax give me two days I’ll bring it
Tan: okay then
Chance: and please don't call me until I call you [line cut].

The next morning Chance tells Henry she needs money to do some shopping for the baby. He gives money to her. Henry ignores Chance he doesn’t even talk to her. When she cooks he won’t eat he eats out and always comes back late. He just always has flashbacks of him and Aadris, Aadris also has flashbacks. As promised, Chance leaves the house to go and pay Tan for the job done while Henry stays home alone. There’s a knock at the door......

Henry: Aadris…...
Aadris: I’m not here to talk, I just want the papers.
Henry: at least come in this is our home....

Aadris: I hope they’re signed [they drive out]

Henry: Aadris I don’t want to do this
Aadris: just give me the papers
Henry: I can’t find them [checks his drawers]
Aadris: HENRY!! I have no time to waste!
Henry: I’m sorry when I find them I’ll send them over I promise, I'm sure Chance has something to do with it.
Aadris: okay then.
Henry: can we talk?
Aadris: ……… [Just walks out]

Chance sees Aadris coming out of Henry’s work place, she is parked outside inside her car.
Chance: that Aadris! [She thinks] yeah [smiles and drives off].

A few hours later Aadris begins to feel weak she goes to Thomas’ house but no one is home. She recalls Melody saying she went to visit her mother in Arth so she goes there. As time ticks away she gets weaker, she goes to Melody’s parent’s house but they aren’t there. She finds one of her old friends...........

Alex: Aadris hi I was actually coming to see you
