suitcases to unpack and a bachelor-slash-bachelorette party to get ready for.”

“Vale, vale,” my mom said as she grabbed my dad’s arm. “You see,

Javier? They want to be alone.” Her eyebrows did a little wiggle. “Ya sabes.”

My dad muttered something unintelligible, showing that he had no

interest in finding out why.

So, I ignored my mother’s innuendo, and after wrapping my parents in a

“It’s okay, Catalina. I’ll sleep here.”

“No, you won’t. You won’t fit in that tiny bed,” I pointed out the obvious.

“Not even diagonally, I think.”
