Chapter Ten

Pouring herself another cup of tea, Trina climbed into one of the parlor chairs and wrapped a soft woolen throw around her shoulders. Resting her cup on the antique end table, she settled in to continue reading. She marveled at the sense of personal history these journals held, but also at the painstaking work that must have gone into making each handcrafted sheet. She turned the pages almost reverently, afraid they would crumble in her hand if she moved too quickly.

They were yellowed, and on most the ink had faded, but as she ran her fingers over the delicate handwriting she could picture Isabel in her mind, youthful and vibrant, sitting with her quill in hand as she documented the extraordinary.

Between the faded ink and Isabel’s long, looping script, translating her native Spanish was a daunting task. Her chronicle began shortly after she was married, describing in detail the two years it took for her to completely regain her strength, and how Jeffrey had kept his promise to Carlos and cared for her.

As Trina read each of the slender volumes, she could hear Nanita’s voice in her head, her soft accent rhythmic and musical in her mind as she told her story. It was well into the morning as Trina continued to turn page after page, book after book. She was compelled to hear the story through to the end. Without realizing it, she eventually found herself skimming past the mundane accountings of Isabel’s daily life and searching for any mention of Carlos. It wasn’t until she picked up the seventh diary that she found what she didn’t even realize she was looking for.
