“Why did it take you an entire week to pack two suitcases?” Diesel asked when he opened his, no, our front door. I shrugged my shoulders, then he stepped back so I could come in. He didn’t need to know that I’d been purposefully avoiding him.

“Let me show you to your room, then I’ll bring you up to speed on a few things.” Diesel led me down a hallway toward the rear of the condo. “My former roommate Eddie liked this bedroom. He recently got married himself and moved to someplace in Mexico, can’t pronounce the name.” Diesel opened a door and I was greeted with a large wooden sleigh bed with matching bedside tables and a dresser drawer with a television on it. “Just put your suitcases on the bed. We need to talk.”

I did as he asked then followed him to the living room. “Guess who tipped off that paparazzi?”

“Who?” Diesel sat on one leather couch and I sat on the one opposite him. Piles of papers were scattered across the coffee table.

“Uncle Alfonso.”

“What?” Diesel’s mouth dropped open. “But, why?”

“I was a little pissed when he told me, but it actually helps us a lot.” I snatched a ruby-red throw pillow from beside me and clutched it to my chest. “Now we don’t have to worry about Papa. He’s officially disowned me, though I will miss him and Mama. I figure once he’s out of office we can…”

“That’s the least of our concerns.” Diesel interrupted. “Do you realize how much work we have to do to convince immigration that our marriage is valid?” He gestured toward the many forms on the coffee table.

“No, but I’m sure that…”

“Let’s start with the Form I-130.” He lifted a folder off the table and opened it. “Not only that, we need a ton of supporting documents too. This includes birth certificates, marriage certificates, financial documents, and…”

“Those are easy to get. Why are you stressing out about it?” I asked, then held my hand up. “Before you continue, I need a drink, preferably a strong one.” I would swear since I met Diesel my alcohol consumption had tripled.

“The bar is in the dining room.” He pointed behind him. Apparently he wasn’t waiting on me any longer. With a sigh I pushed myself off the couch and went in search of the bar, and Diesel followed along behind me.

“The state department wants to see pictures of us together, looking like a married couple. They want to see that our finances are mingled together, like a joint bank account, plus…”

“I don’t want to open another account.” I replied, though what I really wanted to say was I didn’t want to open one with him. I grabbed a glass off the bar and filled it with vodka.

“You don’t want ice or a mixer?” Diesel crossed his arms over his chest. I drank the contents of the glass, refilled it, then headed back to the living room. Diesel stayed behind for a moment, then returned with his own glass.
