“Nothing happened to the money, I never used it.” This whole topic was uncomfortable for her, it was something that they avoided talking about in the house.
“No, Isa, I could never make him listen.” It had always been a struggle to understand her son, and now she was too old, too tired.
“Why does he want to check on Theo? ¿Porque ahora?”
Dirty money.
Well. She couldn't really disagree with that. Still, she was annoyed because her mother had kept that news to herself.
"Why didn't you tell me, mamí? To at least know, that he was alive, reaching out..."

"Ay, Isabella. Nos la va a volver a hacer and why do you want that? Just to be hurt otra vez?" She couldn't be still with all this questioning, but she had to face her daughter. "How did you know about the checks?"

“I don’t remember how long.” So long, she forgot when it started. Years.
“Because we don’t need that money, no sabes de donde salió y yo no quiero dinero sucio.”

"Mamí.." Isabella steeled herself, for either the truth or confirmation of more lies. Or..
"Did Damien ever send you money?"

"Yes." Carmelita continued with her work in the kitchen, without looking at her daughter. "I never used it, ¿por qué, mija?"

Do you blame yourself for how Damien turned out?
You teach your kids... Valores para la vida, values. And then they make their own decisions.
He was... Su cabeza era un misterio, no me decía nada.

Doña! Did u hear about that delinquente that got busted by the policia but got away?

No, no, those things are for chismosos and that's not right.
Pero, ¿qué pasó o qué? Tell me.

What do you think Damien does for a living?
Yo no sé que es lo que haga pero que lo haga lejos, lejos.

You think it's dishonest money?
Ay no sé, he was always up to something.

Why haven't you cashed in on the money Damien sends you?
Because I don't need it. I have my pensión and I don't know how he got that money.

( 🗨️ ) im gonna spend the night with a friend
( 🗨️ ) to finish a project
( 🗨️ ) sorry im not there to eat your great food
( 🗨️ ) 💜
Oh, the relief Carmelita felt when she read the messages. Sure, she'd love to know sooner and not because of the food, she could always put those in a tupperware.
Her granson was safe and that was all that it mattered.
[Text] That's alright mi niño
[Text] Have a nice evening
[Text] I will put your plate in the fridge

Maybe you should go out and look for him
"Mamá por favor, siéntese."
"¿Qué me voy a andar sentando? Voy a buscar a mi niño." Maybe Carmelita didn't keep track of the time, she only knew that Theo was never this late without letting someone know.
"Mamá se va a lastimar, piense en su cadera." And then she felt the pain on her hip and her daughter helped her get to a chair. "Mire ma, estoy marcando a sus amigos a ver si alguien lo ha visto. Seguro se quedó haciendo tarea."

Still no word from your grandson? Hope he's alright.
"Oye ya se tardó este." Carmelita looked at the clock on the wall, it's been too long. "Ya le marcaste?"
"Me manda a buzón."
"Ay Diosito bendito, cuídame a mi niño."
