Tuesday - 10/5
AIDEN’S OFFICE
ANDREW: Glad to see things are still going strong.
AIDEN: Yeah, things are good. My son, Chase, is studying law, so no doubt he’ll be here apprenticing sometime in the hopefully near future.
ANDREW: That’s excellent. I’m happy for you.
AIDEN: Thanks. How’s things in D.C.?
ANDREW: Good. Much as I miss working here, it’s great being able to work alongside my Dad.
AIDEN: That’s good, man. I’m glad you stopped by on your way out.
ANDREW: Of course. I had to come and visit my former partner.
Belle walked in.
AIDEN: And speaking of partners…
ANDREW: Belle.
BELLE: Andrew!
Andrew and Belle hugged.
BELLE: It was good to see you at the funeral the other day. I’m sorry we didn’t get a chance to talk more.
ANDREW: Not a problem. It was a busy day for all of us. And, of course, I had to come and support my sister. How are you holding up?
BELLE: It’s...a very confusing time, let’s just say.
Andrew nodded.
ANDREW: I understand.
BELLE: How long are you in town for?
ANDREW: Well, unfortunately, I’m leaving this afternoon. Dad and I’ve gotta get back.
BELLE: I understand. It’s good to see you.
AIDEN: It certainly is.
ANDREW: You as well, both of you.
Andrew shook hands with Aiden and hugged Belle again.
KIRIAKIS MANSION
Theresa was folding clothes in her room. Shane stood nearby.
SHANE: I’m sorry that I have to leave so soon.
THERESA: It’s okay, I get it.
SHANE: If you’d like your mother to stick around-
THERESA: Dad, I’m fine. I’m a big girl, I can take care of myself. Plus, I’ve got Tate, he’s all I need. We’ll see you at Thanksgiving, or whenever the next time you can visit is.
SHANE: Ah, yes. I wanted to talk to you about that, actually.
SALEM UNIVERSITY
Allie was putting on her shoes and tying them.
MANNY: What’re you gonna name it?
ALLIE: Not sure. I’ll have to think of a good name for her.
MANNY: So, we’re gonna have another roommate, then. Not that I mind, I actually think it’s cool that you’re getting a cat. You’d be a great cat mom.
ALLIE: Aw, thanks Manny!
Manny nodded.
MANNY: We still on for Fall Fest tonight?
ALLIE: Totally! It’s gonna be a great time!
Johnny also was getting ready for his first class of the day, as was his roommate.
CHARLIE: So, any exciting plans for the weekend?
Johnny shrugged.
JOHNNY: Nothing to speak of, not yet, at least.
CHARLIE: Gotcha.
JOHNNY: What about you?
CHARLIE: Well, I hear Salem puts on a pretty good Fall Festival, so I figured I’d check that out. You should come.
JOHNNY: Yeah, I’ll see if Meadow’s interested. We usually hang out on Friday nights, so maybe. Either way, it should be fun. My little sister went last year with a friend, and she said it was cool.
CHARLIE: Little sister? I thought Allie was your twin.
JOHNNY: She is, I’ve got more than one sister. My younger sister, Sydney, is still in high school.
CHARLIE: Ah, that makes sense.
JOHNNY: Anyway, have a good day, dude. See you ‘round.
CHARLIE: See ya.
Johnny picked up his backpack and walked out.
ST. LUKE’S
Brady walked into the church and looked around.
BRADY (thinking): Doesn’t look like it’s changed much.
As Brady looked around, Sister Mary Moira walked over.
MOIRA: Can I help you, young man?
BRADY: I’m supposed to be meeting somebody here, sister.
MOIRA: And who might that be.
BRADY: Eric Brady. I’m sorry, sister, you look very familiar. Have we met?
MOIRA: I can’t say that we have. I remember almost everybody who comes through this church.
BRADY: I haven’t been here in a long time. My name’s Brady Black.
Sister Mary Moira fingered the ruler which she kept up her sleeve.
MOIRA: I see.
The door opened and Eric walked in.
ERIC: Brady?
Brady turned around.
BRADY: Eric?
The two men walked over to each other and shook hands.
ERIC: Wow. This is…
BRADY: Different, I know. I’ve been getting that a lot lately, and probably will for a while. Not that I don’t expect it, it’s different for me, too.
ERIC: Either way, it’s good to see you again. Sister, thank you for keeping Brady company until I got here.
Sister Mary Moira nodded and walked away.
BRADY: So, Marlena tells me you were a priest.
ERIC: I was, for a time. Unfortunately, my calling was only temporary, but God has shown me a slightly different path, which I am happy to follow.
BRADY: Gotcha.
ERIC: Would you like to take a walk?
BRADY: Sure.
Eric and Brady walked off together.
