The Mother
Anne loved the time in her life when she prepared breakfast each morning
for her two young children. Years later, spending hours alone, Anne
convinces herself that her husband is having an affair. If only her son
were to break-up with his girlfriend. He would return home and come down
for breakfast. She would put on her new red dress and they would go out.
