From Here On Out Part 2

Ricardo just runs into Antonio in the information room at the station.

Ricardo:"Antonio, what the..are you doing here?"
Antonio:"Um.."
Ricardo:"Never mind I think I know..."
Antonio:"You do???"
Ricardo:"Yes, you're trying to look for Gabi behind my back. Aren't you??"
Antonio:"Uh..look Ricardo, I was going to tell you if I found her. I just wanted to help."
Ricardo:"I appreciate the though, but I'd like to be the one to find her. I love her and need to find out why she would leave." "I have to go home and change before I go see Mama." Antonio:"Yes, I need to go see her as well."

Gabi is taking a walk in town. *I wonder if Ricardo got my letter yet.* She thinks of him in her mind.*Oh, god I have to stop thinking about him. He'll never forgive me, I have to move on.

Carmen sits at her table reading the tarot. She flips over a card and is shocked to see forgiveness. "Dios Mio", she says. Could this possibly mean Ricardo could forgive his brother.........????"

Just then the door opens and without looking she calls out "Ricardo I must tell you something important about Gobbie", she trails off.

She turns around and sees not Ricardo, but Antonio.

Carmen:"Antonio, hijo! Where is your brother?"
Antonio:"Never mind that what where you going to tell Ricardo about Gabi?"
Carmen:*starts to get sad-like* Antonio:"Is this about the stupid cards again?"
Carmen:*gets frustrated* "No!!", she blurts out. "I know who Gobbie was unfaithful with."
Antonio:"What?? This is Crazy!!!"
Carmen:"No, thats not gonna work this time, I know what you have done to Ricardo."
Antonio:*starts to get a worried look on his face* "I don't know what you think you know, but...."
Carmen:"You slept with GOBBIE!!!" *Tears of anger start to flow from her eyes*

Gabi walks back to her hotel room and has the urge to hear Ricardo's voice. Slowly she picks up the phone and dials the number.

Ricardo arrives home and hears the phone ring. "Hello,....Gabi???", he says as he hears a female breath. Without thinking Gabi responds. "Ricardo...No, I can't..." She immediately hangs ups. "What was I thinking??"

Ricardo puts down the phone. *Why would she call and hang up...unless she wanted to tell me something??!!* He starts to wander to the hall to change when he notices an unmarked envelope with his address on it.

Ricardo:"Hmm, I must have got this today in the mail..." He opens it and immediatly recognizes the handwritting as Gabi's.

Ricardo:"Its from Gabi....", he states curiously as he begins to read.

Dear Ricardo, He begins to quickly skim through the letter, reading select fragments aloud. "Hmm, don't know where to start... I know you must be a mess.....thats why I decided you deserve to know the truth." He stops reading and is very confused. He starts reading again. "I am so sorry, I ruined your family and I couldn't tell you in person because I was afraid of how you would react...." "Ricardo....something happened between Antonio and I....in the cave-in.....um, we slept together."
