 Author's Notes: I apologize for the list overload, but please bear with
me (feel free to send angry emails and fling inanimate objects) until I
catch up. Keep in mind that internet is a two hour bus ride away at the
moment and I have to boil my water before it's safe to drink. Gotta love
rural Ecuador! 

 Story Notes: 

 

 

 I may be many things, but I am neither stupid nor blind. I knew, for
example, that Carmine slept with Rosa DiFranco while I was pregnant with
Maria, and again when I was pregnant with Ray. During the pregnancy I
miscarried it was Gloria Marconi. It was a different era, with different
rules, and after I lost that baby he was always faithful. 

 I am well aware of what is going to happen between my son and Benton. It
does not please me. The church teaches that such things are a sin, but I
cannot forsake my son's happiness for anything. I love him. Both of them. 

 Sometimes in the near future they will forget their doubts and fears, and
I don't doubt that they will be happy. 

 I will hold my tongue. Raymondo will never know anything other than that
I am happy he has found love. 

 It's the truth, and it's the only thing that really matters.
