“Not very long”, he said then, “But I feel like I’ve known her forever”.
“Honey, that hurts”, Alice admonished Hanna, who was now pinching Shane’s cheeks.
Hanna stared at Shane and ducked her head to a side meditatively, caressing her cheeks.
“You’re just like Daddy”, she considered flatly.
“Come on”, Alice exclaimed, getting up and picking up Hanna, “Let’s see if the cookies are done, honey. Come on, Shane”.
Shane glanced at Carmen, smiled shyly and stood up.
“Can I help you?”, she asked politely.
Alice took her by her elbow and started dragging her toward the front door.
“Yeah, great”, she grinned.
Carmen watched her as she walked away, then turned to Dante.
“How did you two meet?”.
“She works with me over at the site. Construction work”, he lied, and then realized that construction works weren’t exactly for women and blushed a little.
“Small works, obviously”, he pointed out.
Carmen pursed her lips, nodding.
“I thought she was a messenger”.
Dante licked his lips, uncomfortably.
“Yeah, she’s one of those… ‘hyphenates’…”, he stood out and pointed at the house, “…Uhm… I’ll be right back”.
Alone at the table, Carmen took the Polaroid and watched it. In the photograph, Hanna was hugging a flash of blinding light.
Carmen felt shivers running up and down her spine. She narrowed her eyes, swallowed hard and her heart bumped into her chest.
”…In the arms of the Angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You’re in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here…”

Later, that night – Carmen’s house
Shane and Carmen stood into Carmen’s kitchen.
Carmen had asked Shane to keep her company, after the party, but now she was feeling upset, nervous, and was trying hard to stop shaking and to think straight.
Shane was observing her, concerned, her back leaned against the kitchen counter.
Carmen opened the fridge and took a head of lettuce. She placed it on the counter with a big knife, right beside Shane, and stepped back, crossing her arms over her breast.
“Here, can you cut this up?”, she asked, coldly.

I remember watching this movie a long time ago and I can only remember a few scene and the hand cutting scene was one of them so, I’m happy you put it in your story :-). I hope Carmen and Shane have the chance to talk about what happened.
