“Carter? What’s the matter?”
Napalingon ito sa kanya nang marinig nito ang tinig niya. Gio could make out Soleil’s figure in the crowd. Nilampasan pa nga nito ang asawa nito. At si Carter naman, parang nakarinig ng kung ano dahil namutla ito at biglang napahinto sa paglalakad. Napalingon sa pinanggalingan nito, sa mga nakasalubong nitong tao. Naikuyom niya ang kanyang kamao. Did Soleil do that on purpose?
“I… I thought I heard--”
“Anyway, Ge ge, Gio told me that she might be staying in another city. He arrived last week and yet she never contacted him in any way. Ngayon niya nga lang nalaman na iniwan ka ni Ate Sol…”
He faked a smile before apologetically tapping his shoulder. “Don’t worry, I’ll help you look for her. I got connections here in France. It won’t be a problem.”
