“Hey Carmen, a lady at the bar wanted me to give you this” Carmen holds up her finger signaling her to wait for a moment. “Okay”
Carmen flipped some switches then looked at the woman “Hi Mel, what’s up?”
“I’m just bringing you a drink that a lady bought you” she holds out the drink for Carmen.
“Thank you” Carmen answers as she takes it. She looks at the bottle, it was her favourite “Who bought me it?” Carmen asks as her heart rate jumps. The last time she had this drink was when Shane bought her it before they all went to Whistler, it was only Shane and her friends who knew that it was her favourite.
Mel turned to point at the bar “Oh, she isn’t there now. But she was quite hot, in a mysterious way.”
Carmen laughs “Mel, one day you will find someone who will sweep you off your feet. But dark and mysterious….nah you don’t go for that”
Mel sighed “I know. Well I’ve got to get back as does yourself”
“Cheers Mel.” Carmen watched her walk away frowning slightly as she looked at the drink. She just shrugged her shoulders and put it down to coincidence.

“Hey Carmen do you need any help packing up?” A voice called from the doorway.
Carmen looked up and smiled “I could do with some help carrying the things to the store room if that is okay Jake?”
“Sure it is. No problem” Jake walked over lifting part of the decks. “So did that lass catch up with you?”
Carmen was opening the door to the storage area as she looked back “You know we don’t called Women lasses here Jake” Laughing Carmen answered “but nope, the only person I spoke to all night was Mel”
“Tom says it all the bloody time, I can’t help it”
“We also don’t say bloody”
“See what spending hours on end with him does to me” he laughed “But yeah there was this lady outside, telling us she knew you from LA. Tom was really intrigued but I just thought she was another crazy fan.”
Carmen took the deck from him and put it on the shelf “What was she saying?”
“Why you wanna know, it’s probably just some crazy”
“Humor me” Carmen grinned as she turned around and locked the door.
“You and that ego.”
“Hey! I resent that” Carmen playing punched him on his arm.
