"I'm not asking you to fall in love with me I just want you to feel a little freedom. Don't you wanna be free? Aren't you tired of feeling like a prisoner in your own marriage?"
"Mommy!" Joshua screamed in excitement running up to his mother who pulled him into her embrace.
"Hi baby love." Joanna smiled kissing his cheek.
"Hey mom." Jose smiled hugging her.
"Hi big boy." She smiled pecking his cheek. "Toni. You're still here." Joanna mumbled staring at Toni.
"Always gonna be here." Toni mumbled back grabbing her bag.
"Why don't you two go wait in the car for me." Joanna pointed, "okay." They nodded before they said their goodbyes to Toni and Michigan.
"Toni I actually love your dress." Joanna said.

"Thank you." Toni said not fully buying it.
Joanna smiled, "where are you off to?"
"Me and my husband are going to a party." Toni smirked looping her arm with Michigan's.
Joanna rolled her eyes, "I don't know why I ask it's not like I care. You two can't have kids anyways-"
"Yeah that's why we have so much sex because I don't have to worry about getting pregnant." Toni smiled.
Joanna frowned sucking her teeth. Michigan groaned looking down at Toni.
"I'll drop them off next week Sunday." Joanna said before walking away.
"Did you have to make that dumb comment? What is wrong with you?"
"If you won't defend me at least let me defend myself." Toni spat folding her arms over her chest.
Michigan gritted his teeth letting out a calming breathe, today already had a rough start. He could only hope she behaved herself at the party. ___________________________
"Behave yourself."
"I should tell you that." Toni spat snatching her arm away from Michigan's walking over to Sydney.
"Hey sissy." Sydney smiled pulling her sister into a tight embrace.
"Hi Toni." Greg smiled side hugging her.
Toni smiled, "what's wrong?" Sydney whispered.
"Nothing." Toni shook her head with a small smile before she began to look around.
"Who you looking for?" Sydney asked and before Toni could respond her sister snatched her to the side, "who is this man that you're seeing? Because obviously the stuff you've been telling your husband about going out with me is a lie." Sydney whispered.
Toni groaned staring at Sydney for awhile before she looked anywhere but at her sister.
"It's just a little hobby. Nothing serious." Toni shook her head looking around again.
