My Tia Talks

November 25, 1983: We got back from the chapel a little early, at around 6 PM, and then she told me what she thought. Yes, I probably believed that the Padre was a regular guy because I was in love with him, but he wasn´t. He had taken a vow and he belongs to God. She didn´t want me to come back because she knew I´d get hurt. Just look at the white collar he has to wear, Ani. Look at it, and then tell me what it means!
That´s when I swallowed hard and turned red. I don´t think I felt guilty, but I love Luis and I don´t want the Church to have anything to do with him. Maybe I´m selfish, maybe I´m possessive, but that is exactly how I feel.
My Tia took both her hands in mine and then I cried on her shoulder.
