After her morning run, Kylie did her usual chores. Cleaning the house, washing her clothes, listening to the news, and writing out her grocery list. Seeing she had a couple of messages, she clicked the 'PLAY' button of her answer machine.
beep.
"Hey, Ky. This is your big sis, Lynn. How is everything there? Sorry I couldn't make it to the big party. You know how your nephew gets. Little fussy boy, aren't ya?

Love you, babusha."
beep.
"Kylie...."
Kylie froze in her tracks. She placed the newpaper down on the counter as the message continued.
"Kylie, please. I know you're there. Look.....sighs I'm sorry, okay? I messed up. I cheated. But I love you, sweetie. I always have. This separation, this..... being apart it's..... It's silly. Please, come home. Come back. I love you, Kylie. I love you."
BEEP!
Kylie slid into one of hr kitchen chairs, placing her hand upon her forehead. Why now? Why did Paul have to call her? As Kylie looked out the window, she noticed someone running from Mr. Jerk's house. Then something else....fire.
