Carlos. She walked out of the kitchen, carrying a tureen of soup to the table.
Carlos walked in.
“Did you have dinner?” she asked.
He looked at the dishes on the table and replied, “No
He had anticipated that she would cook dinner for him, so he had come back
from work on an empty stomach.
“ALL right. Wash your hands. Dinner will be ready in a minute. I'm just finishing
up the Last dish.” Debbie was relieved that he had come back for dinner. Or she
would have wasted all that time in the kitchen for nothing.
She had thought about calling him before she started cooking. But then she had
changed her mind, considering that it was a sensitive period for both of them.
“Carlos,” she called as they sat at the table, having dinner. But the rest of her
words froze on her lips. Her mouth formed a thin straight line and she lowered
her eyes. She poked the rice in her bowl, preoccupied with her thoughts.
Carlos looked at her but since she didn’t say anything further, he didn’t ask what
was on her mind. They ate silently until Carlos was about to finish his rice.
“I can’t prove my innocence. There were no cameras in that suburban area.
Things are looking really bad for me right now. It's a dead end.
If I can’t provide an alibi soon, I will be arrested again,” she blurted out.
“Hmm,” Carlos muttered and continued with his dinner
He didn’t show much enthusiasm, but it was such a grave matter for
Debbie that she just had to swallow her pride and ask.
“Um, will you help me?”
“Hmm.” The same response. Carlos began to eat his soup.
Debbie grew anxious and impatient. “Why is he acting so nonchalant, as if this
doesn’t bother him at all?’ she thought, clenching her teeth.
But soon, she calmed down. She was nothing to him now, barely a friend.
Why would he be concerned about her? He had already done more than enough
when he had agreed to take her back to his place for protection.
Too anxious to eat, Debbie put down her chopsticks and texted Xavier.
“How much time do I have?"
“Two days.”
