Sasha's phone rang just as they reached the table. 'Thank you God!' she silently prayed. "Hello. This is Sasha."

"Hi Sawsh. How's my timing?"

"Hi Brian!" She paused. "No, it is OK. We were just about to have dessert. What's up?"

"Do you think they are buying your act?"

"Uh huh…that's too bad…poor baby…OK…No. It is no problem at all. How early do you need me?"

Brian laughed. "I think I am going to enjoy this explanation tomorrow!"

"Will that give you enough time to get to the airport?"

"Airport? I know I am going to enjoy this explanation!" Brian teased.

"I'll see you at 5:00 then." She looked at the other members of her party. "No, don't worry about waking the kids up. I'll get them ready for school."

"Have I helped you out?"

"Yes! That would be great! I'm sure they will love the idea!"

"Goodnight Sasha. Sweet dreams."

"You too Brian. I'll see you bright and early." She disconnected the call. "Sorry about that." She apologized. "Brian has to go to New York in the morning for a last minute meeting before the North American tour starts. Samantha was going to watch the kids but her baby is sick so he needs me to get them off to school and watch Bailey tomorrow." She glanced around the table. "I had better skip dessert and hit the sack. I need to be to his house by 5:00." She hugged Kelli & Max and kissed Bradley goodnight. "Thank you for dinner. It was delicious." She turned to Eric. "Have a safe flight home tomorrow Eric." She stepped away from the table and headed for the front door.

"I'll walk you to your car Sasha."

"That's OK Eric. I'm close to the door."

"You never can be too careful." He replied catching up to her.
