MONROE:

((Reads missing poster and is torn between guilty joy and sad consternation))

** Poor, poor Alma! My bright angel must be far from glowing right now. She must be distraught. She must be desperate! Husband simply disappearing like that? I guess I really should go over, offer my help and support **

%% Not to mention my undying love %%

Alma~

** Trying to keep herself busy by baking cookies.


%% I need to get out of this apartment!  It's been awhile since Ennis left. Sure wish I knew if he is coming back or not!     I know!  I am gonna take some of these cookies over to Monroe's house. It's not too far and the walk today will do me good!  Besides I really do wanna see him, and the store is closed today.   

**Alma hesitates

%% What if he just thinks I'm too bold? What if he has company? What if he's not there!  I know... Ill just walk by it, if he see's me I'll just tell him I was just in the neighborhood. %% 

((Alma packs up some cookies real pretty))

%% but what shall I wear? I need something real pretty!  I don't  have anything!   Uhm? Lets see..  What would Scarlet do?  I have an idea!! 



((Alma gets to work))

Alma~

** After the babysitter came Alma heads on over to Monroe's house. She notices the car is in the driveway and pauses.

%% Maybe I should just keep walking!  What do I say? Its gonna look like I'm chasing him!   I know I'll tell him I am worried about Ennis and don't know who to talk to about it. Yes that's it!  Ok here goes everything!%%

meanwhile......

MONROE:

(( Having walked slowly, a long and meandering route to ALMA's apartment, all the while pondering what to say and how to act towards her ))

((Mounts the stair up to the apartment door))

Hello?

((Knocks on the door timidly))

Alma, are you there? Hello?

((Knocks once more, not so timidly anymore))

Alma?!?

((Bangs on door))

ALMA~

((Knocks on Monroe's door. No answer,  keeps knocking))

Monroe!   Hello! Are you there?  Hello!  It's Alma, I need to talk to you! Monroe!?

(( Alma turns the knob and the the door opens))

%% I wonder where he could be? His cars out front so he can't be too far.  I'll just drop the cookies off anyways! 

(( Alma goes into the house))

MONROE!!

(( Alma walks into the living room and notices all the pictures on the wall))

Oh good pictures!  I love pictures!  I should'nt be doing this but...

((Since the babysitter has taken the kids out for a stroll, nobody answers the door))


MONROE:

Despondently gives up banging on the door and treads the steps back down, draggin his feet all the way.

%% Wonder where she is. Now that I'd prepared myself to face her and all, prepared to say....... I still don't know what. But I would say....something. Profound. Caring. True. %%

((Sits down on the bottom step, leaning head in hand))

** This is a strange place....there are strong vibes here that set my whole body and soul a-hummin'. I wonder why? Did something powerful happen here? I wonder if Alma's ever noticed? **

((Decides to rest there, and wait a spell, just in case))

%% She might be out for just a little moment.  %%
