Hana sat in the gazebo, alone.

"Hey want some cookies?" Guita asked holding a Tupperware of homemade oatmeal cookies without raisin.

"Sure." Hana nodded as Guita placed the Tupperware in the the seat next to her friend. "Coffee?" Hana offered.

Guita nodded as she sat down, "So the cookie theory, huh?"

"Yup." Hana sighs taking a sip of her coffee.

"Nice." Guita nodded while she held her coffee cup in her hands.

"A marriage is like a cookie," Hana sighs.

"Once you take a bite" Guita added.

"You can never put it back." They finished in unisons.

"So," Guita looks at her friend, "what's up? The cookie theory? Did something happen? Was it Andre?"

"No, Andre's a dream." Hana shook her head.

"Is it your parents? Did your dad cheat again?"

"No, its more the past coming to bite him." Hana nods.

"So," Guita sighs, "what now? She..."

"has the flu." Hana completed. "But she got her hopes up, just to have it crushed."

"But he's staying with her, right?"

"Yes," Hana nods, "but the fact that she thought the only way to keep him is having a baby, tells so much about her self-confidence. It hurts to find out that... she has such a low self-esteem."

Guita nods; she understood exactly, watching Victor Stein broadcast to the whole world how his wife and Robert were having an affair and seeing Tina ran offstage. Guita felt Tina's pain and confusion.
