'Danielle...Dani. BABE.' I wave my fingers in front of her eyes.

'Huh? Sorry, I spaced out.' She gives me an apologetic smile, 'What is it?'

'I was asking you, are you really gonna pay the extra for my ticket? I don't mind sitting in the Economy, and you can use the money to get yourself a First Class.'

I point at the laptop screen, which presents a list of prices for different seats.

She rolls her eyes, 'Don't be silly. We're not sitting separately. Since you think First Class is too fancy, Business Class it is.'

'What's your problem with Economy anyway?' I ask. That's a very good amount of money for an upgrade.

'It's like canned sardines in there.' She says righteously, examining her nails.

'Fine. I'm gonna press booking?' I linger my fingertip on Enter.

She nods, 'Yeah, book it.'

So, it's done. We're flying together to Singapore at the end of August.

I'm quite excited, but I remain a calm face.

I look over to Danielle, she doesn't seem happy or bothered...or anything. She has that unfazed look on her like nothing is her goddamn business.

I was actually expecting her to have a lot of say in this trip since she's kind of a control freak. Yet, the only thing she asked for was Business Class.

She said I could put it however I like because she's not been to Asia before.

Well, easier for me, but I'm slightly worried. She seems to be in her ocean of thoughts a lot these two days.

A superwoman as sharp as her doesn't usually space out...unless there's something bothering her.

I'd ask her now, but my mobile suddenly vibrates. It's my mum.

'Mama! How are you?' I exclaim as I pick up and walk over to Danielle's sofa.

I hear her weak chuckle coming through the line, 'Good, Mija. And you? Everything okay?'

'Yes, quite great.' I glance at Danielle's back, 'Actually, I was just booking my flight to Singapore in August.'

'Oh! You're coming back? That's so great! We've missed you so much!'

I chuckle, 'It's just a visit though. I think I'll work here in England for a while.'

'Okay, you've found work already? That's good too.' My mum's voice seems to lower a little.

'Probably, at the company that I'm doing my internship now. Ma, don't be sad, I'll go visit as much as I can.' I try to cheer her up, 'Also, I'm taking someone to meet you.'

The corner of my eyes catches Danielle shifting in her stool, yet I'm not sure if she can hear me.

'Who? Oh my god, is it the girl you told us the other day? Your boss?'

Yep, I've told my parents I fell in love with my boss who's five years older than me and a very competent woman.

Of course, I saved them the sadistic and bitchy parts of all.

'Yes, Danielle is coming with me. We plan to visit you guys and go travelling a bit.'

'That sounds great, darling. I'll make sure your Papá and Mateo are presentable then.' She says playfully, 'So, what's the date of your flight?'
