Babsie was talking on the phone to one of her interviewees. Isaac and Zac were watching television. Taylor and Rita were elsewhere with their kids.
"Yeah, sure that's fine... This Thursday?"
Isaac looked over at her.
"Umm, yeah, Thursday's fine for me."
Babsie caught Isaac give her a weird look.
"Oh, just a sec..." She covered the phone. "What?"
"Thursday's fine for you?"
"Yeah..." Babsie replied slowly. "Why? Have I forgotten something?"
"I'd say so. This Thursday is our four year wedding anniversary."
She stared at him for a moment.
"It is?"
"Yes."
"Really? No kidding?"
"Yes it is."
"Oh, umm, oops. Sorry Ike, I totally forgot."
"Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?"
Babsie smiled, then went back to the phone.
"Ok, I just found out, Thursday is not fine..."
There was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it." Zac said.
Just as Babsie was hanging up the phone, Zac returned with someone behind him. Babsie stared at him for a moment, then turned to Zac.
"What's he doing here?" she demanded.
"Please Babsie, won't you just let me talk to you?" Harry asked.
"No." And on that, Babsie turned and left the room.
"Sorry Harry." Zac shrugged.
Harry sighed, he looked at Isaac.
"Will you talk to her for me?"
"I try." Isaac answered. "I can promise you that much."
"Thank you."
Harry left, leaving Zac and Isaac looking at each other.
"Well, at least he came during the ad." Zac said at last.
