Chapter 28

• I sat behind the chrome dresser, holding a soft-bristled hairbrush tangled with my curly brown hair, waiting for Leonel's arrival.

Memories of my first day, or was it the second, of living in Leonel's house came flooding back, when I entered the kitchen and his explosive laughter greeted me, triggered by my outrageous outfit.
