Villa El Descanso:
Lucina and Manolo share a brewski on the patio. She tells him Raquel is off trying to drum up
business for their hotel. He wonders if
she might have gone to visit her friend Oriana.
Lucina repeats, again, they don't know where that woman went. Manolo doesn't hide the fact that he doesn't
believe her. Lucina changes the subject
to “la ahogada” (the drowned
one).
