Chapter 34

***Tina***

Angelica has been home with her injury for almost a week now. We tried earlier this week to call Gina but she has been either in meetings or out on the field. One would think that we could just ask Angelica for her hotel or mobile number and contact her then, but we wanted to ask Gina to visit as a surprise for her. She’s been a bit depressed being cooped up all day with limited movement. We decided that a visit from Gina would cheer her up.

I called Tristan for her number. He gave me the mobile. She picked up on the second ring.

“Hi baby.”

“Hi Gina, its Tina.” I laughed.

“Mrs. Kenna..Tina! Hi, good day. How are you? I’m so sorry I thought you were Angie. I’m so sorry.” She spoke nervously. I could tell she didn’t expect me on the other end.

“Hey, it’s ok. I understand.” I heard her sigh. “So how are you? How is the internship? Annie told me that you are getting a lot of hands on experience.”

“Yeah. Everyone’s great here. It can intimidating at times but I’m learning a lot more than what you learn at school.”

“I can imagine. Work ethics and politics.”

“Tell me about it.” There was a period of silence. “Sooo..” She started. “Umm, at the risk of being bold, I umm, is there a reason you called? I mean I’m sure you didn’t call to just find out how my job is doing? Something’s wrong with Angie, isn’t there? Is she back in the hospital or something?”

“No, no. She’s doing fine. The reason I called, she’s been a bit depressed, and I was wondering if you could visit over the weekend. It will mean a lot. We’ll pay for the trip so you don’t have to worry.” I added before she could reply.

“This weekend?” She hesitated. “Could you excuse me for a sec?”

“Sure.”

After a few seconds, I could hear the pages flipping over the phone. “I have some overtime on Friday night and Saturday morning, I could fly in after that if that’s ok?”

“That’s great. I’ll call you back with the details.”
