Finding You, Genevieve Chapter 15
At Genevieve's office—Genevieve came in with Bianca. "So this is your office?" Bianca asked. "Yes, it's all mine," Genevieve replied. "You like being a lawyer, don't you?" Bianca asked. "Yes, I do. I like to take down crime," Genevieve said. "Have you ever had to arrest your father or brother?" Bianca asked. "Not yet, but if I have to, I will," Genevieve said as her assistant Kim entered. "Ms. Alcazar, I have the files you need for your case," Kim said, handling the file. "Thank you, Kim. This is Bianca, a family friend. I will be at my family house and then come back," Genevieve said. "Alright," Kim replied and left. "I didn't know what you wanted me to tell anyone outside the family about who you are," Genevieve said. "It's okay. I'm not ready either," Bianca said. "Let's go to my family house. If it's too much for you, let me know," Genevieve suggested. "I think I will be fine," Bianca said. "So do I," Genevieve responded.
At the Quartermaine house—Alan, Monica, Skye, Lorenzo, Lila Rae, Rae, Morgan, Luis Jr., Skylar, Tracy, AJ, Lydia, Abby, and Constanza were present. "Now, Genevieve's daughter Bianca is in town. But just be nice to her," Skye said. "We will. Right, Tracy?" Alan asked. "Yes, I will behave. I also thought Genevieve did the right thing in giving up her baby," Tracy replied. "Don't say that," Skye said. "Skye, you should be proud of who Genevieve is," Tracy added. "Of course I am," Skye responded. "If you can get to know our daughter," Lorenzo said. "There's nothing wrong with being careful who you let in," Tracy said. "I wish my daughter wasn't like that," Skye said as Genevieve and Bianca entered.
"Bianca, it's good to see you," Skylar said. "You too," Bianca replied. "Sis," Skylar added. Skylar and Genevieve shared a close bond. "Did I miss something?" Genevieve asked. "Nothing worth talking about," Skylar said. "Bianca, this is my grandfather, Alan, my step-grandmother Monica, my Uncle AJ, Aunt Lydia, my cousin Abby and Constanza, and their Aunt Tracy," Genevieve explained. "Nice to meet you all. This is all new to me," Bianca said. "We're just glad to finally meet you," Alan said. "Yes, we are. Welcome to my house," Monica added. "This is your house?" Bianca asked. "Yes, Alan gave it to me," Monica replied. "Yes, we know," Tracy said.
Genevieve went to the window when Constanza approached; they are close cousins. "Genevieve, is everything okay?" Constanza asked. "Yes, I'm fine," Genevieve responded. "You can open up to me, you used to," Constanza encouraged. "I'm fine," Genevieve insisted. Alice entered. "Breakfast is ready," Alice announced. They headed to the dining room. "So, Genevieve, where is Victor?" Alan asked. "They broke up," Lila answered. "No, we made up, but he's at work," Genevieve said. "I'm glad you both worked things out," Skye said. "Thanks, Mother," Genevieve responded. "So, what are you and Bianca doing today?" Lorenzo asked. "I have to go back to the office; I have a big case coming," Genevieve replied. "Oh," Lorenzo said, not liking that Genevieve is a criminal lawyer. Luis Jr.'s phone rang, and he stepped away to answer. "Yes, do it now," Luis Jr. said. "Well, Bianca, how long are you staying in town?" AJ asked. "I'm not sure," Bianca answered. "Bianca, we should go shopping today," Raelyn suggested. "Sure," Bianca agreed. "I can go with you if you want," Lila Rae offered. "Lila Rae, don't you have anything else to do besides shopping?" Genevieve questioned. "Genevieve," Lorenzo said. "I do other things—I work at the hospital," Lila Rae explained. "Leave my wife alone," Morgan said. "Sorry," Genevieve apologized. "This is a very nice house," Bianca commented. "Thank you. Do you ride? We have Genevieve's horse here," Alan asked. "Yes, I do. I would love to ride one day," Bianca said. "Good," Skylar said, watching her sister, who was struggling with all this and trying not to show it. "My parents are coming to town," Bianca announced. "We would love to meet them," Skye said. "Yes, they can stay here if they want," Alan added. "I don't think my father would like that—he's a proud man," Bianca replied. "Well, then they can stay at the hotel on us," AJ offered. "Thank you," Bianca said. "I need to go back to the office," Genevieve said. "Alright," Bianca responded. "You have your key, right?" Genevieve asked. "Yes, I will be fine," Bianca answered. Genevieve left.
Genevieve was in the hallway searching for her keys when Tracy approached. "Genevieve," Tracy called. "What, Aunt Tracy? I'm late for work," Genevieve responded. "Just because you gave her up doesn't mean you can't love her. You did what you had to do," Tracy said. "Thank you, Aunt Tracy. I always look up to you because you don't let anything get in your way and you don't wear your heart on your sleeve. I did that once, and it led me to get hurt," Genevieve admitted. "I did that too," Tracy replied. "Grow up—I always wished my mother would leave Daddy because, as much as they love each other, he would never leave us to work for her," Genevieve said. "No man like that changes," Tracy concluded. Genevieve left.
