>Que quiero? This is just a friendly call.>I think we've never shared a palabra despite how much we've crossed paths.>I'm a little avergonzada of admitting it. But the first time we were in the ring I had no idea who you were. >Your hermana simply brought you out. And in the cage...well not until the moment I stepped in the arena I got to know who would support me.>But today, I finally had the time to look through the records Nicole. Today, I've learned a little about you.>You lived under the tutelage of your hermana for many years.>She seems to have taken care of you well.>I had a chance to discover it firsthand. Your hermana...she is something special, right?>Yet, you are not with her.>You were in the cage.>Against her.>Alongside me.Raquel sighed dramatically, trying to play her character and drawing her emotions from her personal experience. Making sure she sounded afflicted by her experience.
>And that's a story I know.>I lived it firsthand.>Sometimes your family disappoints you.>You put so much trust in them. You follow them blindly. And yet they refuse to love you back. For a young woman, like me, like you, the only answer is rebellion.Raquel paused, trying as hard as possible to let the redhead her time to process what she just said:
>I'm happy for you.>You found your place with Priscilla.>And I...well let's say I'm still looking for something like that.>I'm not as lucky as you are.>Nicole, the things I said the other day, that was not right of me.>Pero pero pero now that I know your story. >I would like to...apologize.
