Up Close
November 24, 1983: It happened without my seeking it. My Tia decided to go see the new chapel(the bishop has just built it) and that is when I saw Luis. He looked like a normal guy.I could not help noticing the white shirt with the open collar. Then I had to turn my back to him while he and my Tia carried on some sort of conversation. I could not look him in the eye just yet.
But when he asked me how I was, I told him that I had sent him a letter. Was it his habit not to answer any of the letters he received? He seemed a little amused by my question, and my Tia nudged me in the arm. I told her that when I had sent the letter, I had expected an answer and had not received one.That is when I gave up. My shoulders shrugged of their own accord. Next time he spoke to me I pretended not to hear.
