Abigail said, "Your hubby's around. I better not go in. I gotta keep a decent distance."
Cornelia asked, "Didn't you used to enjoy his company? Why the sudden change of heart?"
Abigail replied, "My boyfriend gets ridiculously jealous. Just yesterday when he was leaving Rosenberg he told me to keep my eyes off other guys."
Cornelia asked, "What's wrong with looking at other guys? Just because you're seeing someone doesn't mean you're blind."
Abigail said, "I agree, but he said it makes him jealous, and he had a point. If I've decided to marry him, I should respect his feelings and keep my contact with other guys to a minimum."
Cornelia said, "Abby, this sounds a bit off..."
Abigail cut her off, "Enough about that, I gotta go. Hit me up if you need something."
Cornelia watched Abigail leave, and as she withdrew her gaze, she caught Tahlia's.
Cornelia rubbed her head and asked, "What's up, Tahlia?"
Tahlia wrapped her arms around Cornelia and started sobbing, "Cornelia..."
Cornelia asked, "What's wrong, why are you crying?"
Tahlia said, "I couldn't reach you earlier and I was scared. I was afraid I couldn't find you, afraid of losing you..."
Cornelia gently patted her back and said, "That won't happen. We'll always be together. Marcus is here too, go say hi and then we can sort through our grandma's stuff."
