I spent the rest of the afternoon at Rosa’s as she tried to hammer in the lesson she wanted me to learn. We all ate tamales, and no one got sick, so that was worth it, but it’d be a while before I trusted her cooking again. The lady was a little nuts.

Okay. Be safe.
I will. No more hiding as a wolf in the cages. And find out what the Hoels are up to. There’s too much bad s**t going on around them.
I’m already on it. Good. I love you. Je t’aime, cherie.
With the clunk of the tires over the cattle guard, the bond shut down. It took my breath away, and I ached to turn the car around. I found a spot to park in front of the house, and noticed a figure sitting on the top step.
Luciana.
