Next Monday, Vera is having breakfast while listening to Loverboy's song "Heaven in Your Eyes" on her walkman. Just as she's about to take a sip of grape juice, someone knocks on the door.

She gets annoyed and leaves the glass on the table, then gets up. "Did everyone decide to visit me early in the morning?"

She strides to the door and opens it without asking. She sees a bailiff with a summons for her to appear at the Family Court.

"Who are you, man? Can't you see I'm having coffee?"

"No, I don't see it." The man replies, "Mrs. Freire?"

Vera smiles proudly at being called 'Mrs. Freire',...
