that her husband, Trenity, didn’t attend the service. He loved her family as his own. Madison sat on the edge of her bed and dropped her head into her hands. She sobbed uncontrollably.
    Her continuous sobbing caused her to grow weak. She managed to lift herself up and walk to the bathroom. As she looked in the mirror at herself her mind pondered on Trenity and the burial of her grandfather.              Trenity and Madison have been married for six years. Madison has always wanted children but has been unable to have them. Trenity owns a very successful pharmacy in Waynesboro.
    Madison was putting on her nightly facial when she heard her doorbell ring. She ran her hands under some water to wash off the excess cream. When she reached the door she peered through the peephole and saw that it was Dwight. She opened the door and pulled Dwight close to her. They held each other for a few minutes without saying a word.
    After releasing each other, Madison took Dwight by the hand and led him to the couch.
    MADISON
    You care for something to drink?
    DWIGHT
    Yes, whatever you got strong.
                  Madison walked over to the bar in the corner and poured two glasses of brandy. She passed one to Dwight as she took her seat.
    MADISON
    What brings you here?
    DWIGHT
    I came to check on my older sis before going to my room.
    MADISON
    Why are you staying in that hotel? You know that you could have stayed…
    DWIGHT
    You know Grandmother Ella don’t want me at her house.
    MADISON
    I wasn’t going to say that. I was extending the invitation here.
    DWIGHT (smiling)
    No. I am good in my room. Besides you and Trenity need your space. Where is he anyway? I didn’t see him at the service.
    MADISON (getting up to refresh her drink)
    I don’t know where he is. Maybe still at work.
    DWIGHT
    He did know that the service was today, didn’t he?
    MADISON
    Of course.
    DWIGHT
    Do you remember when we were younger and we used to talk about growing up and starting families?
    MADISON
    Yeah. You wanted to marry Kelly Rowland, move to Arizona, have three kids and manage her career.
    DWIGHT
    Pretty wild thoughts, huh?
    MADISON
    Not really. You could have made it happen. Well without Kelly.
    DWIGHT (taking a pillow off the couch and hitting Madison in the face)
    You got jokes.
    MADISON
    I am serious.
                  Dwight got quiet for a minute. He rubbed the rim of his glass. Madison noticed that he was looking down.
    MADISON
    What’s wrong?
    DWIGHT
    Can I tell you something?
    MADISON
    You know that you can. What is it? What’s wrong?
    DWIGHT
I am same gender loving.
    MADISON (looking puzzled)
    What does that mean?
    DWIGHT
    Huh? You do know what gender means right?
    MADISON
    Yes…Same gender loving…oh, oh (putting her hand on Dwight’s shoulder) You’re gay!
    DWIGHT
    You can say that.
    MADISON
    Oh wow.
    DWIGHT
    You want me to leave now.
    MADISON
    No…you are my brother. I love you no matter what.
    DWIGHT
    What do you think grandmother would say?
    MADISON
    Now that is a horse of a different color. Do you have to tell her?
                  By this time, Trenity entered the house. He saw me and Madison sitting on the couch. He came over and kissed Madison on the lips. He reached over and hugged me.
    TRENITY
    Long time no see Dwight. How have you been?
    DWIGHT
    Doing well. How about you? How is the pharmacy business?
    TRENITY
    All is good. How long are you going to be here?
    DWIGHT
    I think that I am leaving tomorrow.
    MADISON
    You can’t.
    DWIGHT
    Why not? Grandfather is buried and Grandmother doesn’t want me here. What other reason do I have to stay here?
    MADISON
    The reading of the will.
    DWIGHT
    I am not in the will. Grandfather told me that the day I arrived.
    TRENITY
    You can’t be serious?!
    DWIGHT
    As a heart attack.
                  Trenity pulled Dwight from the couch and hugged him tightly.
    TRENITY
Dude, I am sorry to hear that. You have been through a lot. (Releasing
