Capítulo 54: Chapter 54: Santos, Part 2

"Mari?" I race into the room and drop down beside her. "Mari, are you okay? Are you hurt?" I look over her frantically, trying to see if she's injured.

"I can't believe this is happening again," she whispers.

"What? What's happening again?"

"After everything we went through," she cries. "After everything we've tried to rebuild, it's happening again. I'm so stupid!" she yells and throw my shirt at me.

I'm so confused. "What are you talking about? What happened?"

"This happened!" She grabs the shirt back out of my hands and shows me the bottom of it. It's crusty and stiff. I feel my face heat up.

"Um, yeah." I rub the back of my neck, embarrassed that this conversation is about to take place. "That's not what it looks like."
