“Mom,” I said seriously, “I can’t stop thinking about her and she said she changed and that she loves me.”

“You saw her?” my mother said disbelievingly.

“Yes, at Jenny’s funeral,” I said, “she told me when I was helping her clean out Jenny’s closet.”

“Jenny? Is that the short one with the ojos bonitos?”

“Yes mom, that’s the short one with the pretty eyes,” I responded.

“You knew her enough to see Chane after what she did to you?” my mother said.

“Jenny was my ex-girlfriend,” I said.

“Really?” my mother said in surprise, “oh, she’s pretty why didn’t you marry her? She wouldn’t have left you at the alter.”

“Mom, you don’t know that,” I said, “she was in love with Shane.”

“Really?” my mom said, “but still she probably had less problems than Shane.”

I sighed loudly and said, “mom, Jenny was murdered.”

“La asesinaron? Ay Dios mio.”

“Shane wants another chance mom,” I said sitting up, “she was crying, she was on her knees begging, and Shane doesn’t do that.”

“Mija,” my mom said, “I don’t tell you what to do with your life, you were a lesbian for most of your life and barely found out about it! Look, if you wanna give Chane another chance, I support you I just hope she doesn’t hurt you again. I hate to see you cry.”

“So you think I should give her another chance?” I said.

“I think you should put her on como se llama…prueba?”

“Test?” I answered, “so put her on probation.”

“Si, asegurate que no te pueda joder,” she said giving me a kiss on the cheek.

“Okay mom, I will make sure she can’t screw me over,” I said chuckling.

“Anda mija,” she said grabbing my hand and helping me up to my feet, “cheer up.”

“Gracias, mami,” I said kissing her on the cheek. I grabbed my bag and sighed deeply. I really hope Shane has changed, because I’m giving her my stubborn heart again…

“Fucking shit,” I breathed going limp and panting deeply. I looked down my body at Dusty who sat back on her heels and wiped the side of her mouth.

“You taste good,” she said with a smirk, “but we should go before Ivan comes in here mad because we missed the first session.”
