I'm feelin' good

Thank god for Layla.

Can you do your very best not to embarrass me?

Can you do your very best not to embarrass me?

Of course you're invited.

I know, I don’t know what I’m going to do with that girl. [Smiles, waving her hand] I’m sure nothing could prepare her for that. If I know Layla, she’ll get Annie in on it.

I suppose she'll have to learn to fend for herself then. She can survive just about anything. I think she'll be alright on a night out with her sisters. At least I certainly hope so.

Of course you're invited.

Mm, nothing too outlandish, since I know she’d probably get upset if it wasn’t very intimate. So nothing more than a family dinner and I don’t know, I’m sure Layla will try to drag her off to a club or something. She is turning 19 after all.

She's getting old. [Chuckles] I'll have to warn her about Layla's plans then. Make sure she's prepared to head into the lion's den.

Of course you're invited.

Let’s just say that if they truly wanted to kill you… They would have a long time ago.

Ah. That's a somewhat comforting notion then. What are the plans, if you don't mind my asking?

Of course you're invited.

Darling, they’re impulsive and overprotective boys.

So I've noticed.

Of course you're invited.

I’ll make sure they promise. [Wrinkles her eyebrows] I feel like I’m missing something, though. Why would they strangle you and why do you not seem to be as well as you’re saying?

We simply have a bit of a... shaky history, your sons and I.

Of course you're invited.

As long as they promise not to strangle me, I think we'll have fun. [Smiles weakly] I'm doing well, and yourself?
