Then as for Afton, I know she developed on the show and turned into a nice character. But she did come across as a bit of a gold digger in the beginning. So well coming from a poor background I think Afton still appreciates wealth and is somewhat impressed by it. I mean she did marry that Harrison Van Buren III after she left Cliff. He was of a noble family and she thought he was rich but he wasn't. So that says a little something about her character's relationship to men and wealth. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />Sorry I was having movie night with some friends from work so I didn't have the time to update yesterday. <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/pozitive/m1242.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":popcorn:" title="Popcorn    :popcorn:" data-shortname=":popcorn:" />Maybe you'll get another update later tonight. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Sanda, I'm glad you enjoyed Cliff's scene at the car dealership. It was meant to be funny. The gossip comment reminds me of an old add in one of the women's magazines that my grandma used to read. It showed a photo of Joan Collins by a telephone and the headline was: "Everyone loves some good gossip!" or something to that affect! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Anyway here's an update: At the Wade’s house, later that afternoon, Lucas was running around in the backyard playing football by himself when suddenly someone called from next door. “But isn’t it Lucas?”Lucas looked up and saw a man standing by the fence. He looked slightly familiar but Lucas couldn’t quite place him, “Good afternoon sir.”“You don’t recognize me?”“Um…” Lucas was struggling for a moment to place him before it hit him, it was Kurt, the man on the motorcycle that they had met on the way to Dallas. Lucas smiled at him, “Kurt right?”“Right we met earlier this summer,” Kurt smiled.“I remember,” Lucas nodded, “So what are you doing here?”“I live here,” Kurt said.“Cool,” Lucas said.“Do you wanna come over?” Kurt asked. “I can show you around and you can see my collection of model cars!” Lucas eyes widened. “Really?” He asked excitedly. “You have that?”“Oh yes,” Kurt smiled. “Come on!”Lucas made a move to go but then he bit his lip saying, “I just have to ask my mom.”                      “Oh I’m sure she won’t mind you going to the neighbors. Besides we’re old friends right?”                      “Yes but she just wants to know where I am.”“Well tell her you’re at Andersons next door.”Lucas smiled, “Sure, is that your last name?” Kurt nodded, “Yes.”“Okay, wait here I’ll be right back.” Lucas ran into the house where he found Jenna and Martha sitting talking at the kitchen table. “Mom!”Jenna was startled by his voice. “Lucas darling I thought you were gonna play outdoors.”“I was but I was wondering if I could go over to the Andersons next door?”“Oh have you made a new friend?” Jenna smiled, as she was glad to see that her son was adapting to their new life in the USA already.“Yes,” Lucas nodded.“Well okay then. We’ll eat dinner at seven,” Jenna said.“Cool thanks mom,” Lucas said and ran back out to Kurt saying, “I could go. I just have to be back for dinner at seven!”“Oh you will be,” Kurt smiled. “Come on over buddy.” Lucas ran around the fence and followed Kurt into his house.</blockquote>
