at that new restaurant

on third street?

I'll drive, I saw you eyein'

my sweet new ride yesterday.

- Oh you know I don't know.

- Please mom, come on let's go.

- No you guys should come.

- Yeah it's on me

don't worry about it.

Come on winners

gotta stick together

and you deserve some time

off for for good behavior.

Come on let's go.

- Really Melanie you are

such a natural talent,

you've clearly inherited some

of you mother's dancing genes.

- Well glad it worked

out for someone

because it certainly

did not work out for me.

You know all those years

of dreaming about making my

living on my feet I was

thinking it was gonna be ballet

not so much working at

a gourmet coffee shop

but it is what it is.

I mean my feet are so bad

i honestly can't remember

the last time I had a pedicure.

- Why would we worry about

your feet when you go of the

house looking like this everyday

without a stitch of

make up on please.

Now where are you

working these days?

The same place?

- Oh yeah mister salvadore,

i mean he's been amazing

he's so good to our family

and has been so supportive

of everything.

- Yeah, yeah it's a great

idea that he had to open a

catering division, my

husband used it last month

for a fund raiser or

something for his law firm.

- Actually I worked that

event, I looked for you

but I only saw Dean.

- Oh isn't that funny.

I don't know how i

would have missed you.

- Mom I'm just gonna head

to the restroom for a second

um Sara you wanna come?

- Ah mom I'll be right back.

- Sure.

Oh thank god I thought

they'd never leave.

Ohhh.

- Okay.

- Seriously though, i

don't know how you do it,

raising her all by yourself

without her father around

all those shifts you work,

i mean not to mention

giving up on your dreams ahh.

I know it may not

seem like it but

you know I had dreams too.

- What were your dreams?

- Well I mean after

miss Indiana i--

- you were miss Indiana?

- Was the runner up,

but I was robbed.

I am telling you the

things that girl...

That's a story for another

bottle of chardonnay but,

but I was gonna be an

actress, I was I was out there

I was hustling, I'd

gotten a few small parts--

- wait so you were on TV?

What show?

Would I, would I have seen it?

- Well it didn't get picked

up, I mean it was some

political thing, you understand,

it happens all the time,

but the point is, is

that I was making it

and then my mom got sick

and I had to come home

and take care of her and

just time got away from me.

I met Dean and one

thing led to another

and the rest is

history as they say.

But oh my, I'm so sorry

I'm totally running

off at the mouth.

- No, no, no, no it's nice,
