As soon as we are in the kitchen, Cynthia sets out to making tea, even though the night is warm.
Obviously already familiar with Raquel's apartment, she has no trouble finding her way around or grabbing whatever she needs to get the task done.
I stand close to the door, feeling like I should be by Raquel's side as she talks to her father, after all, i'm the one who brought up this whole discussion and she seemed unprepared.
"Relax, sit down, that conversation was long overdue, it needed to happen, and she needs to do it alone." Cynthia says casually, looking at me from under her lashes.
The way she says it, makes it sound like she already knows what Raquel needs to tell her father, but as far as i can recall, she said that only Angela knows.
"Now where is the sugar?" She asks, after opening a cabinet and not finding what she is looking for.
I sigh, and approach her, then open another cabinet to grab it.
She smiles when i hand it to her, and i realise , i just got played.
It was a test, to see how well i knew my way around this place, which would give her an idea of how close Raquel and i are.
But to be honest, i'm yet to get a proper tour of this place...so the only rooms i'm somewhat comfortably familiar with here are the Kitchen, bedroom and living room.
I lean against the island and rest my elbows on it, then tilt my head down as i run my fingers through my hair.
"To be honest, i kind of pictured you with Eva...." Cynthia says all of a sudden.
I look up, my elbows still on the island.
"She talks very fondly of you, you know." she says to me.
"I suppose it would be fair to even say that she is infatuated with you." she adds.
Her face is calm as she speaks, her voice soft, polite even.
I try to keep a straight face, as I stand up straight, wondering why she is telling me this.
I'm aware of Eva's infatuation with me, and it all came to a head during the recent trip, not in the best of ways for that matter, that I eventually told her that i was seeing someone, and that it was serious.
I didn't tell her it was Raquel, because i figured Raquel would want to do that herself, however, since i have been back, i have not found the best time to tell her yet, not having wanted to spoil a good moment.
"You always got along quite well, and i thought perhaps something was happening behind the scenes.." she says frankly, looking at me straight in the eye and i realise it is a question.
