Carmen leaned back in the plush limousine seat, her hand still resting in mine as the tension from the confrontation began to fade. She glanced at me with a small, mischievous smile playing on her lips.
"You know what we need right now?" Carmen said suddenly, her voice cutting through the quiet hum of the car engine.
I raised an eyebrow, curious but skeptical. "What? A bottle of wine and a very long nap?"
Carmen shook her head, her grin widening. "Nope. Burgers."
I blinked at her. "Burgers?"
"Yes. Burgers, fries, and milkshakes. Something greasy and comforting to counterbalance all the drama of the night."
I stared at her, trying to process the absurdity of her suggestion. We'd just come from one of the most glamorous nights of my life, wearing outfits that probably cost more than some people's rent, and she wanted to hit up a fast food joint?
"You're serious?" I asked, unable to hide my disbelief.
