After dinner, Ami spent some time talking to Sun while Scott wandered off with Ripley and Kenzaki, near the shoreline, for an impromptu Japanese lesson. She actually felt bad that she hadn't really spoken to Sun for a few days, realizing that technically she was the only one on the beach who could. Foraging didn't leave much time for idle conversation; especially when the foragers consisted of the likes of Shannon and Amanda from time to time.
Ami loved Scott dearly, but she realized that she was going to have to make more of an effort to spend time away from him and nurturing her friendships on the island. (And, as I keep reminding myself, we do have that always on connection.) When Sun bade her good night, and Ami was left sitting alone, she looked quietly around at her fellow survivors. Her attention lingered particularly long on two specific individuals: Carlos and Clarice.
She had the distinct impression that Clarice was avoiding her; not that Ami ahd made much of an attempt to talk to Clarice since The Night and The Thought, but it nagged at her. She wasn't much for confrontation; avoidance was definitely easier. But the beach was only so big, and eventually she would have to face the woman.
Then there was Carlos. The Past loomed there, even though she was happily with Scott and he clearly connected with George, likely because they hadn't had the opportunity to talk about it. The Past wasn't going to go away, and Ami recalled that she and Carlos had hit it off well - even when they hadn't been having sex - and she hoped that maybe they could be friends. Again, the island was only so big.
She debated for a moment, her attention divided between Carlos and Clarice. George leaving Carlos's side partly made the decision for her. She stood and made her way over towards Carlos, deciding he would be the easier conversation. (What does it say that I think talking to my former lover will be easier than handling whatever is going on with Clarice?)
What does that limey bitch want with him? Isn't one guy on the beach enough for her?
The thought came out of nowhere as Ami stopped by Carlos, who hadn't noticed her approach he was so intently focused on George. She looked around, and caught Amanda glaring at her.
(Wonderful. I'll have to warn George about that one.)
She touched Carlos lightly on the shoulder, "Hiya. Mind if I pull up a piece of beach?"
