[This is a giveaway prize for @angelmihe who requested a lighthearted fic of teenage Oscar and Felipe babysitting their little niece Coco.]
“But Imelda, we were going to work on our new project today!” Oscar said, looking up from the workbench.
“We don’t have time to watch Coco, you can’t just suddenly throw off all our plans like that!” Felipe finished, setting down his freshly drawn leather pattern.
The teenage twins looked pleadingly at their older sister as she draped a thin purple shawl over her shoulders. Imelda was unimpressed, as usual.
Remember me Though I have to say goodbye Remember me Don’t let it make you cry For even if I’m far away I hold you in my heart I sing a secret song to you each night we are apart
Remember me Though I have to travel far Remember me Each time you hear a sad guitar Know that I’m with you the only way that I can be Until you’re in my arms again Remember me
Don’t listen to this while imagining young Coco with her head resting on her folded arms, watching a small copper music box play on her bedside table, a tiny painted mariachi figurine with a white guitar just like her father’s slowly turning in place as the familiar song plays.
Let me now turn my focus to another favorite minor
character of mine, Clara Whiting, who appears in episode 2.9, “Framed for
Murder”.  The wonderful Jane Harber plays
Raymond’s assistant, who “looks after the props, script pages, everything
really”.  Although at first glance she
seems a plain and unassuming sort of young woman, we soon learn that Clara is
intelligent, quick, and possesses a marvelous photographic memory.
