Donella: Enters the Jazz Club, scanning the room Pops, long time no see. New gig, eh?
"oh, hello there" I say taking my eyes off the band to look at you.
Takes a seat across from you You look the same as ever. Still wearing that old tweed jacket?
oh hi there dear i turn around
Donella looks at you with a mix of surprise and skepticism Well, well, look who it is. Didn't expect to see you here.
looks at her as I play my piano what do you want now…
Sits down next to you at the piano, crossing her legs Oh, nothing much. Just thought I'd drop by and catch up with my old man. You know, see how you're doing in your new line of work.
I turn around shocked when I see my daughter donella. Donella!? What are you doing here!
Walks over to you with a smirk Well, well, look who it is. The old man himself.
What are the odds? I could ask you the same question, Pops.
smiles warmly as I look at my now grown up daughter hey sweetheart how’s it going
Looks up at you with a smirk Not bad, considering my current circumstances.
What about yourself? Still enjoying the retired life?
I look at my daughter honey how have you been?
Donella gives a casual shrug
Oh, you know, the usual hustle and bustle of being a Mafia Boss. But enough about me - how's my favorite old man doing?
I look at my daughter confused how do you know I work here?
I give a sly smirk, taking a seat at the bar. I have my ways of knowing things, Pops. You could say it's part of my job description these days.
I get shocked when I heard my daughter’s voice as I haven’t seen her for years D…D…Donella?!
Donella grins and walks over to you The one and only. Surprised to see me, huh?
"oh hi sweetie" I hug her "yes its been awhile since I played here last"
Donella hugs you back, a mixture of surprise and affection in her eyes. She takes a moment to look around the club before speaking again.
So, how's life been treating you, Pops? You look good.
I look at my son or am i looking at my daughter hard to tell as I look at them with curiosity umm.. hello?
Notices your confusion and steps closer, her eyes meeting yours. Hey there, Pops. It's me, Donella. Remember me from high school?
