CHAPTER 6

We ran to the little shop, where Héctor had moved Viola into a chair on the shady front porch. She was alone with David, who was bringing her a glass of water.

“Thank you, darling,” she said, taking a sip of water.

I saw a look of surprise cross Chives’s face. As her butler, he had brought her thousands of glasses of water, but all she ever said was it was too cold or too hot or too full or too empty. The words “thank you” had never crossed her mind or her lips. But being with her son seemed to have changed Viola. She was suddenly as sweet as a doughnut hole.

Which, by the way, is my favorite part of the doughnut.

We explained Sofía’s situation and how it was urgent that we try to help her.

“Oh, I wish I had brought my purse,” Viola said. “I could have just given them the money they need.”

“I don’t have a cent,” David said.

“Then we must try our hardest to help Antonia sell those flowers,” Viola said.

“Okay,” Luna said. “Everyone here is now on Team Sofía. Let’s go make some money.”

“If it’s okay with you, I need to stay with my mother,” David said. “She’s in pain from her leg, and her cough is bad, but she says everything hurts less when I’m here.”

I watched Viola smile at him and dab her eyes with a tissue. This was not the same person who just a little while before had been whacking a man with her purse.

“Chives, will you fill in for me?” David asked.

“With pleasure, sir,” Chives answered in his best butler voice.

“Good,” Luna said. “You can help us carry Antonia’s flowers into town.”
