Anita: No mother, there's nothing you should know
Grace- You always told me all everything that happened back then, what happened to us
Anita - (Looks at her disgustedly and laughs ) I stopped telling you anything, when I discovered you always have a high blood pressure whenever I told you something
Grace-( Shocked) Are you still seeing him ( seats)
Anita- The last time I checked you said I should not bring him up again, and i haven't! you never said I should not see him
