"I'm looking for my grandmother. She was just talking to Mrs Argula over there. I wonder if they headed home." Her ears turned red with each word. Embarrassed with her own inquiries, I assumed.
"The corner store is starting to serve breakfast, we are headed over there to the bakery..."
"I'll walk with you if that's okay? I miss the rice cakes from Uncle Julio's. Maybe Lola is headed there too." She let the last word hang between us.
"Surely you grandmother will not mind," I sighed.
Next to her, speech comes easy for me. Lucio, after much contemplation, of course started sharing the story of his pet turtle. Kimm would fall quiet in between, have that pensive look in her eyes.
She was disappointed that they changed the storefront to a new signage. Her statements cut short, she'd scratch the back of her neck, then picks up where she left off.
Mrs Argula lives two blocks away from my street. Kimm's was on the other side of the river.
It would be later when I walk her to their direction...
In the columbarium twenty minutes out of town, next to St Anne's chapel.
But she doesn't need to know that now.
