Later that night...

RACHAEL: (comes in and closes the door) (to herself) "After the girls left, I retreated to my bedroom. All I wanted to do was crawl into bed and forget everything that happened. I walked over to my dresser and pulled out my 45 of Brian's song, "Too Much Love Will Kill You." The song that was Brian's "apology" and reasoning for the breakdown of our marriage. As painful as it was to listen to, it was the only way I could fall asleep. (puts it on and crawls into bed) (cries herself softly to sleep)
