My Mafia Man
I place it close to my ear, and my heart skips a beat as he says, “Tesoro…”
I put it down and take a few more bites, chewing aggressively. Then, I hear it again. “Tesoro, I miss you. I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. I was an idiot for letting you go. I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get you back.” I hear sobbing before it gets cut.

“Amber, I learned the truth a few weeks ago. My heart always believed you, but my mind was too stubborn to accept it. I love…I love you so much. It hurts so much…I’m sorry, I’m very sorry…” My eyes betray me as they spill water.
