My Husband Wants An Open Marriage
“Mi hijo! Look at you! So handsome, but too thin. Are you eating enough? No, of course not, you work too hard. Let me look at you!”
“Mami,” I choke out, laughing as she finally releases me. “I’m fine.”
She swats my shoulder. “Fine? You’re skin and bones!”
Before I can protest, she’s turned her attention to Julie. “¡Y tú debes ser Julie!”
Without waiting for a response, my mother pulls her into a hug that’s just as overwhelming, speaking rapid-fire Spanish into her ear. Julie stands frozen for a second, then pats my mom’s back, eyes wide.
