Carmen hadn't so much as taken three steps into the apartment when her mother got that sly grin on her face. "Oooh, someone was out late tonight," she said cheekily. "You and Sensei hit the mats, or something?"
"We danced," corrected Carmen, setting her purse down.
"Is that what they're calling it these days?" teased Rosa.
Unable to hide a smile, Carmen insisted, "Just dancing. We ran into the parents of Miguel's old girlfriend. We all had a fun time together."
Rosa raised an eyebrow. "So this Johnny might be a keeper after all?"
Carmen's smile curled higher. "Maybe so."
