"Ugh can I wash my face anywhere? I feel like a baby with all these tears..."
"Well, you do include a baby...", she says with laughter.
"Lana, what's gotten into you today? You keep joking around!"
"I'm sorry... I am like this most of the time. Last time I was in...", her eyes cloud as she flashbacks to the time we spent in Paris: "I wasn't myself because of what happened. I do believe we should sit down and seriously talk about this."
"I agree... but first I'm going to wash my face. The bathroom is that way I assume?"
Lana nods, tells me I can make myself at home. Thanking her, I make my way into the bathroom. I close the door behind me and lock it. My reflection looks like a ghost. I have teary eyes and red spots all over my face. I look tired too. I take a washcloth and put it under cold water. I wipe my face with it and the area around my eyes hurts. I decide to go pee before I wipe my face again. I seem to look better already. I clean the sink and leave the bathroom.
Lana's sitting on the bed. She taps the place next to her. "Come here, time to talk about things... Seriously..."
"I know it's time for that. We have a lot to discuss... But shouldn't you sleep? I mean you still have a long day tomorrow..."
"I can take it, this is important. I thought I'd never get this chance. And seeing you like this, I'm pretty sure you want to talk too. Or are you too tired?"
"No, it's fine with me", I say sitting next to her.
"Okay, Maria. We have to talk about the future, about us. This is going to be a long and hard conversation."
"I know. We have to."
