“¿Mamá? ¿Qué estás haciendo?”
“Trying to fix this,” I said. “I’m terrible at it. Help me.”
She stood in the doorway for a moment. Then she put down her backpack and came over.
“Estás usando el hilo equivocado”, dijo.
“No sé lo que estoy haciendo”.
“I know. I can tell.” She sat down next to me and took the dress out of my hands. Then she looked at me. “Are you mad at me?”
“No.”
“Are you mad at Dad?”
I thought about it.
“Yes,” I said. “I’m so mad at him I could scream. I’m mad at Grandma, too. I went to see her today.”
Lily’s eyes went wide. “She knew?”
“She knew.”
Lily se quedó callada por un momento. – Vaya.
“Yeah.”
“Are you mad at Annie’s mom?”
Me tomé mucho tiempo para responder a eso. “Todavía no lo sé. Creo que quiero ser. Pero no creo que pueda”.
