Soap Opera Letters continued

The show begins on time; the opening scene in the driveway of Mrs. C's home. Miss G is in the house practicing her craft--art. Mr. D and Miss K are outside standing in the driveway. Miss G's brother has come over for a visit. He opens the door to step out for a smoke. Do his eyes deceive him? Are Miss K and Mr. D embracing? Mr. D is confronted. He denies everything, and boldly states that Miss K was frightened by a loud sound, that he was only comforting her. Miss G's brother walks away; although, he does tell Miss G.

The scene jumps to Miss G sharing her experiences with a friend: "I know they've made out; in fact, we've had a threesome." This friend hears the soreness behind the words; this friend recalls her past; this friend weeps for what is to come.

Mrs. D drops the remote as she stands up quickly. The remote lands vertically, then falls face first. Mrs. D stumbles across the floor ill to her stomach: "What has happened to the simplicity of breaking up, of finally saying, "I don't want to be with you?""

Well, those of you that know me, I hope you enjoyed another clip of "Soap Opera Letters." For those of you who don't, take it as you see / hear it. There is meaning in "soap" for those of you who aren't in the inside.
