Chapter 8
Carmen was on a plane. She had told her friends she just needed to go somewhere for a few days. That was okay with them. Some things were really important and they knew not to ask. She had booked a flight to South Carolina. She would spend three days there before coming home to Win who would be waiting in Bethesda for her. She was going to visit her dad but most importantly check up on Paul. A cool voice came over the PA system ' Please fasten your seatbelts we are about to begin descent'
Carmen obliged. Her stomach squirmed with anxiety and excitement. She was worried about Paul but excited about seeing her dad.
Bridget had a problem. She had a letter in one hand and pen in the other. Her husband had sent the divorce papers. In her heart, she knew she wanted to be free again and not be held down by a partner. But she thought of how it would look. Single mother of five almost six. No job. No life. No. Stop that. She told her self you have friends. They'll support you. But another voice whispered 'Will they support you? Do they really have enough time to take care of your kids while you look for a place and a job? Bridget knew they answer. Yes, she told the voice defiantly. And with a steady hand, she signed her name on the papers. She walked outside to a red post box. As she was sliding, the package in she saw a tall masculine figure walking around the motel. He had sandy brown hair and tanned skin stretched over his muscular legs. He turned and saw Bridget. The man gave a start of surprise then a wide grin spread over his face and he began walking straight towards her.
Tibby was on the phone. To the manager of Channel 8's programs.
"Please sir. Let us do a segment on Gilda's. " She pleaded with the man.
"What is this Gildas's?" came the cool, voice.
Tibby explained to her boss about how it was part of Bethesda's history. And after an hour-long conference, he gave in.
"All right. You can film it for one half an hour session" He hung up.
Tibby was victorious. She couldn't wait to tell her friends.
In the summer that had passed Lena had grown fond of Aetos. Now they were sitting on the Kalgaris couch talking about baby names.
"Αποτελέσματα αναζήτησης για" How about Acacia?
He shook his head and gave her a look that said 'I really do care about you'
Lena was angered by herself. She had never tried speaking to him before now but she realised he was a sensitive man. He was kind and compassionate. She should have seen that. She looked through the Greek book again (they had chosen traditional names). She saw it. The name for her baby. She smiled and showed it to him. He nodded and smiled at her back. She put her arms around his neck to show that she too cared about him. She couldn't have known she was in for a huge surprise.
It was happening again. Fate was playing with their minds. Who is that man at Bee's motel? What is Lena's baby's name? Will Gilda's be saved?
NOTE: I know, I know. I promised a longer chapter. I'm getting there. It will happen. I promise. Just hold on. Please?
