Athena arrived home, alone. She waited until the morning to make the call to the police station.

With tears in her voice, if not on her face, Athena asked for the line for missing persons.

A: Hello, I would like to report...a missing person. [sniffle]

???: Alright, let me redirect your call to our head of department, Detective Carrera.

A few moments of silence passed before the detective answered the phone.

M: Detective Matais Carrera speaking.

A: Hello Detective. I’m Athena Craven, and I would like to report someone as...[sniffles] missing.

M: I’m sorry to hear that, Miss Craven. What would you like to report.

A: Mrs, actually. And the person missing is my husband. [voice cracking through the ‘tears’] We went camping in Granite Falls and on a hike we got separated and I haven’t seen him since. It’s been three days, and I don’t know what happened to him. [hysterical] What if he fell off a cliff?! Or was eaten by a bear! There was a warning at the ranger station that there had been bear sightings! What if he’s lying in a ditch somewhere dead!

M: Calm down, Mrs. Craven...look, this isn’t procedure, but if you’ll tell me your address then I’ll come to you and we’ll talk through what happened on your vacation, alright?

A: Thank you Detective. [sniffle]

Athena told the Detective her address and was told to expect him in an hour. She hung up the phone and smiled to herself. Unbeknownst to her, Bethany had walked into the room.

B: Momma? Where Daddy?

[blueorchidsims]

She’s so proud of herself.

[blueorchidsims]

G: Like that’s-

B: Momma. Daddy. Stop fighting. Ears hurt.

A: ...

G: ...

A: Sorry, princess.

G: Why don’t we play dolls while Momma goes and pays the bills.

A: grumble...ass.

A: Don’t you come after me! After your affair with Zoe, this was just me trying to cope!

G: Cope? Cope! You don’t cope by sleeping with some random stranger you picked up at a bar!

A: You don’t know where I met Paolo.

G: I saw him sitting at the bar as I left, Athena. I know you just met him tonight.

A: ...

A: You know what Gavin? I’m not doing this tonight. Go sleep on the couch.

G: Fine! I wouldn’t want to sleep in that bed anyway.

[blueorchidsims]

A: Hey, while I was on my jog I saw the sign post for the National Park. Want to check it out together.

G: Sure, some hiking sounds great.

A: Alright, let’s go.

G: Wait. Athena, I just want to say I’m sorry about what happened with me and Zoe. I can’t really make any excuses for my behavior, but I think this weekend was a really great idea. It’s really been the reminder I needed about why I love you.

A: Awww, and what would that be?

G: You’re this fantastic woman who asked me out to dinner one night and ended up proposing to me. We got married just a few days later in a little ceremony that was perfect. You planned this vacation in record time. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I love your spontaneity, and really just all of you. I am so sorry I ruined us.

A: Gavin...[voice crack] let’s just go on our hike.

Willow Creek  10:04 pm

P: Where are we?

A: My place.

P: Oooo, cheeky.

A: So what are you waiting for, should we head up?

P: Definitely.

P: ...

P: What’s up with the dollhouse?

A: Don’t worry about it. 

P: Do you have a family, or someth-

A: Do you want to come upstairs or not?

P: Yes ma’am.

[blueorchidsims]

A: I think we are. I know we have a lot of problems, but I really do think we could work this out. I’ve made an appointment with a therapist for us and everything so we can talk things out with a mediator.

G: Wow. You’re really serious about us working this out. Quite honestly, I thought you were just going to divorce me, get full custody of Bethany, and collect alimony until the day I died.

A: ...Well aren’t you morbid. Come on, let’s go upstairs.

G: You mean I don’t have to sleep on the couch?

A: Not tonight, we’ll see about in the future.

A: Hey, you filthy little homewrecker.

Athena was done with this, she had to take matters into her own hands. She would show this little tramp not to mess with her or her man, and deal with Gavin’s betrayal later.

Z: Oh, I’m the homewrecker? That’s rich, considering you didn’t even know who Bethany’s dad was before she was born!

A: You shut your whore mouth and get ready to catch these hands! 

Z: Come at me, bitch!

In the scuffle of the two women fighting, Gavin made a speedy exit and ran back home with his tail between his legs. He didn’t really care about the outcome, he just wanted to be as far away as he could from the fiasco.

A: That should teach you, you trollop. Now I’m going to go home to MY husband and I better not hear about you going anywhere near him again.
