Summary
Rafael Barba knew his friend Eddie García had a sister, but she grew up far away, over a thousand miles away from Jerome Avenue. He knew her name was Beatriz, and she was raised by her grandmother in Puerto Rico. The first time they met, it was an accident. Rafael was looking for Eddie, and Beatriz was running late for work. They met again a few months later, when she became Manhattan SVU's newest detective.
Beatriz liked how different her name sounded coming from his lips. How each vowel sounded exactly right. He took his time with it, like he was savoring each syllable.
Rafael liked how she rolled the ‘r’ in his name just right, and how her mouth sort of curled into a smile when she said it. It made him smile too.
