Finally Jen understood that fighting with John because of his close relationships with Amanda (thanks God she didn't know how close they actually were) only makes the situation worse. Jen wanted John back, so she thought of a wonderful way to return him. She decided to offer John to spend a vacation together - just him and her. Sunny days on the beach and romantic evenings in the hotel can help any couple bring love and sex back. It took Jane much time to persuade her boss to give her a vacation, she also secretly talked to John's boss and made sure he would let John go, and finally having the perfect spot chosen Jen was ready to present John her idea. After dinner, having washed all the dishes Jen went to the living-room. John and Amanda were watching some late TV show together. Jen felt a bit jealous, again. In fact Jen almost hated Amanda those days, and she really loved the idea of not seeing her for at least two wonderful romantic weeks...But conversation didn't go that well. John wanted Amanda to go with them, Jen said it was impossible, so Amanda ran to her room, crying, and John went upstairs to calm her down. He agreed to go to vacation, but somehow Jen wasn't that happy about it anymore.
Jen(thinking): Together, again! Are they ever apart?
Jen: John, dear, can you forget for a minute about Amanda and TV so we could talk, please?
John: Oh, what again? Is it that urgent?
Jen: Well, you see...I got a big bonus at work and now I wonder...what do you think about vacation? I mean, you work so much, and we don't get to spend much time together...we could go to Maui - it's in Hawaii - and rest a little, just you and me, you know?
Amanda: Oh, no! Two weeks without daddy - no way! Daddy, say something! (оформить как "мысленное" облачко)
John: Are you serious? Hawaii?? Vacation by the ocean is really great idea! But I don't understand why we should leave Amanda...I mean she won't bother us at all! And who would take care of her, anyway?
Jen: John, don't start it again...All I hear is "Amanda, Amanda, Amanda"! Don't you understand? I want some time with you, just you and me, like normal lovers, like a husband and a wife. Besides, I don't have that much money. Amanda is a big girl, I'm sure she'll be happy to stay at home by herself, right, honey? Where are you going, young lady, I'm talking to you!
John: Leave her alone, I'll talk to her...I understand why you need it, don't worry - tomorrow I'll get the tickets.
Amanda: No, this one is way too sexy...Mom will have a cow...
