(The lawyers had given both Dan and Alice plenty of time to come to a decision. Which one of them were getting the house.)

DAN: Alice this house is closer to my job, i won't be able to find a place better then this.
ALICE: The kids are living in this house. We promised this divorce would effect them as little as possible. I don't want them changing schools, do you?
DAN: Of course not! but you are able to work at home most days so it makes more sense that i stay here with the kids.
ALICE: Absolutely not!! so what? you get to keep the house and see our kids everyday, and what do i get shit!
DAN: It just makes the most sense!
ALICE: We are not going to get anywhere by fighting dan, we need to compromise.
DAN: What should we do we both don't want to give up the house and not be able to see our kids.
ALICE: If i agree to find an apartment in this area, the kids have to spend weekends with me.
DAN: As long as its ok with the kids and i don't have to find another place it works with me.

Creative Nonfiction warmup picture:

About two years ago, my entire dads side of the family all went down to our family cabana at Malibu in Point-look out. I had nothing to complain about that day. We were at the beach all day and went to the pool in the afternoon before they closed it. Just being around my family makes me happy.
