A Daughter's Nightmare Page #2

Synopsis: Soon after her father's death, college freshman Ariel learns her mother, Dana, has met Adam, a seemingly well-meaning and charming man at a grief support group. He claims to be a nurse, but the longer he hangs around the sicker and more isolated Dana becomes, even from Ariel. When Dana suddenly goes missing it's up to Ariel to discover the terrible truth of Adam's past before it is too late.

really live here anymore,

and my mom is

from Georgia.

Oh, your mother's

from the South?

Yeah, Savannah.

But her parents died

when she was young

and she moved away

after that

so there's no real connection

there anymore.

She doesn't even really

have an accent.

It's just me and my mom

and my uncle Cam.

Starting over is never easy.

Yeah.

How's she doing now?

Uh, she's alright.

She's trying this new grief

counseling thing tonight

at my church,

so hopefully that'll help

get her out more.

There you go.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Thank you for the ride.

No problem.

I'll see you at school?

Yeah.

Ok.

Have a good weekend!

Yeah, you too.

Can you get that?

Really? New pipe?

Yes I did.

Can you let your mother

know I'm here?

Mother, Uncle Cam's here!

I could have yelled at her,

myself.

Nobody needs to yell,

I'm right here.

You ready?

Yes, thank you for coming

to get me.

I will be in the car.

I will be back around 8:00.

Bye, have fun.

Thanks, babe.

Love you.

Love you, too.

How do you sleep at night?

I'm tougher than you.

You missed the introductions,

but why don't you tell us

who you are?

Um, alright.

Um, my name is Dana Morgan.

Oh, we're on a first name

basis here.

Ok, uh...

Dana.

I grew up in Savannah,

but I've lived in Spokane

for the last 20 years

with Jack.

Jack was my husband.

We moved to Ridgewood last year

with our daughter, Ariel,

right after he was diagnosed

with lung cancer.

We were going to beat it.

Jack died this summer.

How do you feel

about Jack's death?

I uh...

I feel like I'm still sharing

my life with him.

Nothing's changed.

Except he's not here.

Who else feels like Dana?

You'd rather be anywhere

but here.

Excuse me?

You don't seem the group type.

Am I that obvious?

Maybe not to everyone.

I'm Adam.

Dana Morgan.

No last names, remember?

You're right, I do hate groups.

Normally I would agree

with you,

but in this circumstance

I think talking helps.

Your daughter told me

about this group.

Ariel?

My stepson Ben goes

to school with here.

Oh, wow.

We recently moved

from Seattle.

I was in a group there.

So when did your wife

pass away?

Karen died eight months ago.

Everyone take your seats,

please.

We should get back.

Boo!

I was taking a little

power nap.

I could see that.

So, how did it go?

You know what?

You were right.

You know him?

His wife died eight months ago.

Sure looks broken up

about it.

Really? Cameron Morgan?

I'm just looking out for you.

Well?

He didn't look that

broken up!

So other than the work load,

you're enjoying it?

Well, college kinda

is the work load.

But I'm doing pretty well in
