Chapter 19
Carmen cupped her hand around the phone and Shane could make out parts of the conversation. “Mama, Pedro is getting better? I’m fine, yes my boss is very nice to me……I don’t know if I can make it…si Mami también te extraño,” She hung up and Shane couldn’t resist asking. “Your mum?”
“Yeah, she’s asking me to go for dinner,” Carmen replied in a quiet voice. Both of them lapsed into silence. “I think you should go,” Shane said. “I thought you need to go to the studio later in the evening,” Shane rolled her shoulders with a little shrug.
“I can manage, you miss them right? Just go okay?”
Shane tried to keep her voice impassive but she knew she was failing abysmally. She was no longer treating Carmen like an assistant and there was a contemplative look on Carmen’s face as she studied Shane. She felt discomfort because she knew. She knew Carmen could see through her more easily than she would liked her to.
“My mum said she would like to see my boss. I told her you were busy,” Shane checked her watch. “I’ll drive you to your place, then I’ll go to the recording studio. How about that?” Carmen nodded.
When they stopped in front of the quaint-looking house, there was a little squeal from a girl. “Tía Carmen!!!” Carmen stepped out of the car and swung the little girl in her arms. “Solange, how are you?” There were peals of laughter from both of them as Carmen struggled to heave the girl into her arms. “You’re getting heavier,” Shane stepped out of the car and looked at Carmen. There was something so disarming about Carmen here, as she held the girl in her arms and conversed softly in Spanish to her.
“Carmen!!!! You’re here…I haven’t seen you for so long,” A woman who bear a striking resemblance to Carmen came out of the house. She had a baby in her arms.
“Oh…Katia..” Carmen bent down to press a kiss to the baby girl’s forehead. “Go in and see Mama..she’s preparing all your favourite dishes,” Shane stood there and suddenly, she realised she was left alone with the woman, the baby and the little girl called Solange.

Away with the bracelet! Away with it! Getting rid of that last shred of Cherie, Shane showed that she’s ready to move on with her life, to move on to bigger, better, Carmen-ier things.

Love it!! So.. intense this beach scene. Shane really treat Carmen as an equal, not as an assistant. It’s really impressive who their relation have moved on. Keep going!!
