Chapter 18

As soon as I got inside my apartment, I leaned against the door to read the letter Hector had seen fit to save from my wrath, to fold and tuck into his wallet, to keep, even after he’d decided he didn’t care to keep me.

Amor,

It’s been nice. But since you’re not the love of my life, and I’m not the love of yours, wouldn’t you agree it’s time to stop it? My only problem with this letter is that I wish I could be kinder, write it so you believe I’ll be suffering over you, knowing how your ego will drive you absolutely crazy over being forgotten without a fight.

Yes, I know that it is YOU who’s been planning to break up with me for days. Weeks? Since we met? I don’t blame you for wanting me to accept that it was your idea. I’ll give you that, even though I must confess I’d been the one waiting for you to do it first, so as not to deny your ego the pleasure.

But you’re not getting on with it, frankly, and I’m unable to sacrifice any longer. You see, I have trouble being patient with situations that have begun to bore me, when just days before they were, at least, amusing me. I know you’ll understand me, since you can’t stand to be bored one second, hence your chronic infidelity of body and spirit and your occasional habit of ruining romantic moments by complaining about her.

Of course I’ll miss certain things about you, but it will be so much more fun missing them than living them. As you know, wrapped in nostalgia, even a vulgar sardine acquires all the charm, personality, and dignity of lobster.

Have a nice life, amor,

No longer yours, M + E
