Attention

Round 2: November 2002

Lora is 40, Sadie is 7, Jordana is 3

"Alright Jordana say Please." Lora couldn't quite understand why his youngest daughter was having so much trouble learning new words. She said a few basic thing like, eat, drink, potty. As nothing but silence answered her Lora decided to give up for the day. It was just 10am and already Lora was tired.

Sadie had been very moppy ever since they took her father away in cuffs. "Sadie sweetie why don't you go play at the park." Sadie looked up at her mom with an annoyed look. "Fine mom."

Sadie slowly walked down the street. She didn't want to play. She didn't want to do anything but cry. She missed her daddy so much, she knew her mom was doing her best but it just wasn't the same. 

The Bishops money was running low. It was surprising all the things they spent money on. Lora had to cut back almost everything and actually get a job. She had been fired from her reality star position the minute she was arrested for murder. 

Lora was now a critic. A huge step down but it paid the bills. In her free time she was also writing a tell all book.

Lora had never really been a cooker, she had a chef for that but now, since she fired him she had to fend for herself. Gone were the days of her husbands wonderful food or her chefs fancy dinners. Now it seemed it was chef salad until she learned how to make a decent meal. 

Jordana was use to putting herself to bed but it didn't make it any easier. She was lonely and all alone. She knew how to say please and thank you, use the potty on her own, and could even read her toddler books but she seemed to only get attention when she didn't do those things.
