Embassy

I will make it to Embassy with Shane after all. I'm driving to our meeting place and the Pasig has twinkly lights and I see Rockwell silhouetted against the sky.

There is a girl beside me. Most of the time she's Jill.

Our meeting place is at an LRT station. A stranger from the train leaves me a toddler. "She's your daughter now," she says.

My daughter, the girl (not Jill anymore but someone I don't know) and I look around for Shane.

When I finally see him he's talking to lots and lots of people from Amber, inviting them to join us. This is when I see Moe. I'm so happy and surprised. I smile at him but he doesn't smile back.

There's a fuss as we all try to get into a coaster that will bring us to Embassy. Shawn is driving.

Everyone finds somewhere to sit but me. There's an empty seat beside Moe but he won't even look at me.

Luciano is seated behind Moe and sees me just standing there so he says, "Camille, sit beside me." So I do. I wonder what Moe is even doing with us. He hates clubs.

On our way, I remember the daughter that was given to me.

I turn to the girl (my unknown companion) and ask, "Where's my daughter?"

She says, "I left her. Someone will find her."

It makes perfect sense to me and I remember wondering why I don't feel any guilt at all.
