My girl

-Surprise, it's me... fuck.

-Don't swear.

-You say them too. What happened to you?

Mariam walks through the door without taking her eyes off my face.

-Is it that bad?

-One to ten? One hundred.

-You and your blessed sincerity. Come in and be quiet. Why are you here?

-Freedom day for the incarcerated," she sticks her tongue out at me as I shake my head. I should have been tougher in his tutelage. I'm meeting Sofía to set Madrid on fire with our shopping. I have no clothes.

-Don't you have any clothes? -You?

-Don't be a killjoy. I left most of it in Baltimore. I remind you that I'm a poor girl surviving in a boarding school because her heartless brother has locked her in the tall tower," Mariam walks through the house as if she knows it inside out. Her pink coolness is her sass.

-Like that blonde princess with the ponytail.

-Rapunzel, haven't you learned it yet? -I'll never admit that reading those stories more than once made me turn the pages forward to find out the ending. What the hell has happened to you? -he says, tapping the coffee pot to make sure it's hot.

-Second shelf. And don't say horns -I answer pointing to the hand-painted porcelain tray of intense color-. I have traveled to Barcelona.

Mariam's smile transforms.

-Is he here?

-Yes.

-Did he do that to you?

She is so angry it makes me laugh. My sister is a fighter for lost causes. She loves to raise the flag for the weak. Apparently this morning I am the first evicted person on her list.

-It's been..." -I keep silent until I check that the door to Sofia's room is closed- Raul.

-Raul?!

-Shhh

-I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she also looks towards the closed door. What does Raul have to do with all this?

-Our uncle doesn't trust me.

-Do you think he knows?

-If I knew, you'd be talking to you on Ouija.

Mariam holds her forehead as she sighs vehemently. Her theater classes are a well-paying expense.

-It can do us a lot of harm.

-I will not allow it.

-Why did you fight with Raul?

-Rather by whom," I replied, looking toward the door of the closed room.

-Raul? Don't say that he and she have...

-I'll slit his throat first.

We were both silent. Mariam is a girl too mature for her age. Behind her wild features hides a prodigious thinking brain. She enjoys proving what she is not. We both grew up creating our own protective barriers. Mine is distance, hers is superficiality.

-Does she know anything?

Half-truths. Sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't be better to tell them everything.

-Then you have no doubts.

-What is she from? No. It all fits.

-I can't believe it!

-Shhhh.

-I can't believe it," he murmurs with a low throat clearing. I'm so happy. The short time we saw each other seemed ideal. Blake, our uncle can't get away with this. She could suffer too much. And you could lose the woman you love.

-I know, I know. Time is a time bomb in the back of my head.

-Brother, did you notice what I said?

-I may have a swollen eye and a split lip, but I'm not deaf.
