LUIS
Flashback
Stepping past the threshold of my childhood home, I force my head to remain trained in front of me despite wanting to turn back to see my mother's beaming face one last time. However, the stubborn part of me didn't want her to see there was a part of me that would miss her and. . . . Chris.
All throughout the time I spent with her, I was dismayed to meet her new beau. At first I despised the union but I couldn't pinpoint the exact moment my hate for him tarnished. May be it was his sweet disposition that reflected a genuine care for my mother and myself that I hardly found in my father that made me begin to like him and even his daughter, Rita.
So much so, it irked me that I was to return home. But she promised me that I'd eventually move in with her permanently in her new home.
