Lita returned that night with a bright smile on her face, which instantly dropped as she slid open the door to Mateo's room to see her father peering out the window, seemingly in search of her car.

"Uhm, nosey much?" she teased.

"Oh! Mija, you startled me! And I'm not being nosey, just making sure my baby gets back safe," he replied.

She nodded. "Sorry if I worried you... I just needed a break," she said, her eyes drifting to Mateo's sleeping figure.

"It's alright... But you best get some rest. I'll be off to work now." Lita's father was a hard-working man; he always left early in the morning for work and came back late, taking any chance he could to squeeze in a nap. Without another word, Lita slid into bed with Mateo, noticing that he was actually awake.

"Where'd you go?" he said, his voice a light whisper.

"To McDonald's," she replied. His eyes widened, and he sat up, much to his discomfort.

"What!? Without me... how could you... Lita, I'm a poor sick child. Where's my McDonald's?" he said, his eyes brimming with fake tears.

"Don't do that!" Lita said softly, pushing his sad-looking face away from her.
