back to Mississippi.
While flipping through the channels there was a knock on his door. Wearing only his boxers he walked to the door and answered. There stood Robin with a smile on his face.
BRIAN
Hello.
ROBIN
Aren’t you going to invite me in?
Brian stepped out of the way and motioned for her to come in.
ROBIN
Nice room.
BRIAN
Where is Dwight?
ROBIN
At his grandmother’s. They are in mourning right now.
Brian stood there in total disbelief.
BRIAN
What happened?
ROBIN
Their brother Landon killed himself.
BRIAN
I have got to get over there.
Brian tried to find some clothes to put on. Robin grabbed the elastic of his boxers trying to stop him. Brian quickly slapped her hand. Robin smiled at him as she reached again. Brian grabbed her wrist and twisted it.
BRIAN
Don’t you ever put your hands on me.
ROBIN
I could tell that you wanted me when you saw me in the restaurant. Now I need you to slow down and pay attention to me.
Robin caressed Brian’s chest with her hands. He stood there to see how far she would go. When she tried to kiss him he turned his head.
ROBIN
Come on and kiss me.
BRIAN
Robin let me explain something to you. I am in love with Dwight. Nothing you can say or do will ever change that. Now if you don’t mind…I have to get to Dwight.
Brian grabbed a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. He grabbed his keys and walked out of the door. Robin stood there with her arms folded. Suddenly she heard the keycard slide into the door. Brian walked in and stepped directly to Robin. He grabbed her by the arm and escorted her out of the door. When the door closed behind them he leaned over and gave her a kiss on the cheek and towards the elevator he went.
Robin pulled her cell phone from her purse. After a few keystrokes she placed the phone to her ear.
ROBIN
This is Robin. He is on his way there.
MADISON
Great. Now you follow him.
ROBIN
I don’t know if I can do this.
MADISON
If you want the sixty thousand that I promised you – you better follow him. Or I can get someone else to do this.
ROBIN
Okay, I will do it, but I want one hundred thousand dollars.
MADISON
Listen to me you little bitch…you will only get sixty thousand from me once you have completed your instructions. You are wasting time by being on this phone.

I was surprised to see Brian when he opened the door. We hadn’t seen each other for a few days. Brian stood waiting patiently for me to invite him in.
DWIGHT
Brian.
Madison heard me call Brian’s name. She come racing into the foyer to see if what she heard was true.
MADISON
Brian…what are you doing here?
BRIAN
Robin came by my hotel and told me that you all had death in the family. I came to check on everything.
MADISON
We are all okay.
DWIGHT
My brother killed himself.
Brian reached in to hug me. I quickly wrapped my arms around Brian’s neck and started to cry. Madison stood there watching. She folded her arms and continued to stare.
A few minutes later Robin raced up to the door. Madison gave her a penetrating glance. We all walked into the living room where Grandmother Ella sat still holding the urn.
GRANDMOTHER ELLA
What are you doing here?
DWIGHT
He came to check on us. Robin told him that …
GRANDMOTHER ELLA
Robin told what. (directing her attention to Robin)
BRIAN
Robin told me that you all had death in the family. I came by to give my condolences and to check on Dwight. I haven’t heard from him in days.
GRANDMOTHER ELLA
Dwight didn’t tell you that he is getting married?
BRIAN
Excuse me?
GRANDMOTHER ELLA
Yes. To Robin.
Brian turned to me and wondered what was going
