"Mom, what are you doing here?" Gabriel stammers.
"I should be asking you boys that same question," Matilde says. "What are YOU doing here? And why is Miguel in this hospital room? Oh, wait, I know, because I watched your tearjerker of a confession on the TV."
"Then why are you still asking those questions? It's not like my own love life is your business."
Matilde scoffs; she glances at Claire, who looks like some deer in headlights. "It becomes my business when I see you have chosen poorly. What happened with Michelle? Why did you leave that poor girl?"
"Didn't you get the memo, Mom?" Miguel butts in, sitting up on the bed. "It was Michelle who left him. She cheated on him."
Matilde rolls her eyes. "That's rich coming from the boy who left Michelle ten years ago."
"That's not the whole story," Miguel says, his voice quaking. "You should get your facts straight."
