Amita sat there under the tree for a few moments. trying to pull herself together. Once she had control over herself ,she walked back to the group.
"Hey Amita we thought we lost you and Charlie there for a minute" said Liz looking at the other woman. With critical eye. ""Note to self -get her alone later and see if I can help."She looks like she was crying and she might just need a female listener,"thought Liz. As she was lost in thought, everyone was packing up to go.
"Nah, we were just resting" replied Amita."Charlie should already be back here;he started back a few moments ago."Amita looked around,and not seeing Charlie,she turned back to Liz,looking slightly worried.
" I am sure he is around here some where," replied Liz reassuringly as she scanned the surrounding area.
"Yeah, you're right-i guess I shouldn't worry," said Amita,although she didn't sound convinced. As Amita excused herself Liz noticed Don looking at her in odd way,and she looked away uncomfortably.
Don Edged over to her side. "Hey, Amita what's going on?" he murmured, even though he promised himself he wouldn't pry.
"Hey yourself , I was looking for your brother, have you seen him?" replied Amita, with forced cheerfulness,as she looked over Don's shoulder hoping to spot Charlie. She noticed Don still looking at with a mix of annoyance and concern. If she detected right.
" Charlie is over there with Larry,in some math discussion,"said Don. "I was wondering if I could talk to you for a minute."
Sure I guess,what's up?" Amita replied.
