Maybe she was both excited and exhausted. She slept for 32 hours straight, alone in her apartment,


    after being notified of the album sales. After that much sleep, she felt better. She hopped in the shower


    and went through her morning routine before heading to Curtis’ house to take Piggy back to her own


    apartment, nning to spend the rest of the time with her.


    At dusk, Debbie went downstairs, holding Piggy in one hand and Harley’s leash in the other. She


    decided to go the garden of the apartments, and that was where she ran into Carlos.


    Last time she saw him at the hospital, she had decided to change her methods. So she walked right


    past him, pretending not to see him.


    However, to her surprise, Piggy shook off her hand and rushed headlong towards Carlos. She held


    onto his leg, looked up at him and called out,


    “Uncle Carlos!”


    Harley saw Carlos as well and barked excitedly. And loud. If it weren’t for the leash in Debbie’s hand,


    Harley would have already pounced on him too.


    Carlos couldn’t help but curl his Lips when he saw Piggy.


    “Evelyn,” he said, greeting her softly


    “Uncle Carlos, I’m so happy to see you,” Piggy said cheerfully.


    Carlos looked past Piggy, and then saw Debbie with her dog. He squatted down on the ground and


    scooped her up in his arms.


    “Did you have supper, Evelyn?”


    “Yeah! Mom cooked. Yummy! Uncle Carlos, you want to eat?”


    Upon hearing that, both the adults were at a loss for words.

    In order to save Carlos from embarrassment, Debbie chipped in, “Uncle


    Carlos already ate. Piggy, we should go.”


    “Mom, I want to y with Uncle Carlos,” Piggy said with a hopeful expression.


    “You can’t!” Debbie turned her down without hesitation. It was harsher than she intended, but she was


    getting more ufortable by the moment .


    Piggy pouted her lips and didn’t want to give up yet. And she was too smart for her own good.


    “Uncle Carlos Lives here too.”


    “Sorry, darling. Uncle Carlos still has work to finish. We can’t take up his time. Piggy, be a good girl,


    okay? Let’s go back home.” Debbie gestured for Piggy to get down.


    She was not sure whether Carlos would even get back together with her, so she didn’t want Piggy to


    get close to him. What if he found out


    Piggy was his daughter? What if he wanted to take Piggy away from her?


    She didn’t want to take any chances.


    Piggy felt sad, but she had to listen to her mom. So she said to


    Carlos, “Uncle Carlos, we yter, okay?”
