Chapter 1: Chapter 1
I'm sitting here in the kitchen, listening to my tía's heart beat faster and faster as she gets worked up thinking about her fiancé". It's been a week since she moved into my apartment and I still haven't met her fiancé, which I find strange.My tía is always the first one to welcome me into her home, so I don't understand why she wouldn't want to meet my boyfriend. Why do you think it is strange?" I ask her, but she ignores me and keeps talking about her engagement. "I mean, you live with me, you eat with me, you sleep with me. Why not meet my father and mother?I don't get it."
"I don't want to meet your father and mother. I don't want them to see me like this. She looks at me with tear-filled eyes and I feel my cheeks burning from embarrassment. What is it with women and their ability to make you feel guilty for being human? Men are guilty for being men, but women are guilty for being women.
