Overwhelmed, the new Yolanda begins to sob uncontrollably, burying her face in her hands. 182. As the tears flow, Mason’s memories slip away, replaced by all of Yolanda’s. 183. Childhood leaps to adulthood, diapers to diplomas, growing up in Jalisco, every heartache and every joy. 184. She remembers cooking, dancing, loving, mothering—nothing of being Mason is left. 185. Her name—Yolanda Rivera—burns in her mind as her only identity. 186. Wiping tears, she finds herself whimpering, “!AYYYYYY!” 187. “Why dis hap-pen to me, I no remember nothings!” she pleads, sobbing, in broken English, tears still streaming. 188. Carefully, she straightens herself up, sniffling and brushing stray locks from her face. 189. She bends down and tugs at her sweatpants, pulling them higher on her hips. 190.

Clip-clopping on the wooden floor, she totters to the full-length mirror. 195. Staring at her reflection, she timidly touches her chin, frowning. 196. “!YOLANDA!” she says, stumbling over “Yo-lawn-da,” pronouncing it “Yoh-LAWN-duh.” 197. “Why you no remem-ber nothing? Why you dis old? You s’posed to pick up mijo, Diego, and papito—but now you… now you stuck here all alone, lookin’ like crazy lady, ay dios mio,” she sighs, eyes shimmering with confusion. 198. Embarrassed at her frazzled look, Yolanda hurries to the kitchen to find comfort. 199. Her stomach rumbles, so she sets to making a snack very quickly. 200. She throws together a quesadilla, buttering tortillas, sprinkling cheese, a few leftover jalapeno slices, and pressing it in a hot pan. 201. As it cooks, she frowns at her floppy hair, swatting it out of her face. 202. “Tsk! Yolanda, why you never put the hair up, siempre like a crazy chicken!” she scolds herself, slapping her own hand with a silly giggle. 203. She sets aside her cooking to fix her hair. 204. 1. She gathers the thick, wild curls in both hands, struggling with their weight. 205. 2. Lifting all her hair atop her crown, she twists it into a loose makeshift bun. 206. 3. She snags a stretchy blue hair band from the kitchen drawer. 207. 4. After a few missed attempts, she cinches the bun tight, curls poking every which way. 208. 5. She smooths loose baby hairs with a dab of dishwater, messy but satisfied. 209. Her quesadilla sizzles, gooey cheese melting, tortillas golden brown with crisp bubbles. 210. She slides it onto a plate, slices it with a spatula, and scarfs it down in three delighted bites. 211. Sighing in satisfaction, she licks her fingers and wipes her lips before gathering her purse, checking her sunglasses, and pulling her tank top down for modesty. 212. She heads out, locking the door behind her. 213. She pauses by her car, eyes catching her reflection in the gleaming black paint. 214. “Ey, Yolanda,” she says with a wink and a thick accent. “You still looking good—mira esas caderas, mamacita—you don’t look too old, no.” 215. She slips into the driver’s seat, handbags settling at her side. 216. Arriving soon at the bustling market, she grabs a squeaky, wobbly shopping cart. 217. She sweeps through the aisles, filling the cart with the heart of hearty Mexican cuisine. 218. She grabs white corn tortillas, a bag of long grain rice, a pound of pinto beans. 219. She finds chorizo, queso fresco, a big bunch of fresh cilantro. 220. She selects avocados, three limes, a trio of ripe tomatoes, and a jalapeno or two. 221. She takes sour cream, a brick of melting cheese, a head of garlic, and a bunch of onions. 222. She pops a bundle of green plantains into the cart, and a whole rotisserie chicken for quick meals. 223. Passing the beer aisle, she grabs two cases of Corona, balancing them at the bottom of the cart. 224. Next, she nabs two cases of Modelo, making her cart clink audibly. 225. With purse and jewelry jangling, she heads for the checkout. 226. At checkout, a teenage female cashier scans the first case. “ID for the alcohol, ma’am?” 227. Yolanda blinks through her sunglasses. “!QUE! I fifty-six year old—you no need my ID, no necesito! Por favor, mira these gray hairs! Tengo más años que tu abuelita!” she says, slipping into Spanish and waving her hands in an indignant swirl. 228. The cashier blushes, laughing, and lets her through with just a wink, bagging up the groceries. 229. Hefting the bags, Yolanda loads up the car, humming a little cumbia tune. 230. She slides the cart back to the corral and hops back into her car, putting on her belt. 231. “Eyyy, I think I crack one of those Coronas when I get home... maybe Modelo... hehehe,” she giggles to herself, her accent ever thick. 232. At a stoplight, her phone rings—her son, Diego’s voice on the line. 233. “Mami, can I have one of those drinks when you get home?” he asks, not calling it beer. 234. “No, Diego, ese es para mamá cuando ella termina con la comida. Tú puedes tener juguito, pero no cervecita! You wait, I bring you juice, ok mijo?” she responds through giggles, shifting back and forth between English and Spanish. 235. She pulls up and parks at home, unloading her groceries one by one. 236. Diego and her husband return a few minutes later. 237. They all sit in the kitchen as Yolanda prepares a quick guacamole with some of her market finds, mashing avocados and sprinkling lime, garlic, and salt. 238. “Mmm, mami, that smells so good!” Diego says, licking his lips. 239. “Ay, gracias, mijo. Is the special recipe, no? From abuelita…” she sighs, not realizing that deep down, she used to be someone else entirely. 240. Her husband pops the cap off a Modelo for her, and Yolanda takes a sip, sighing enjoyably. 241. The family falls easily into their familiar rhythm, laughter boucing off the kitchen walls. 242. Outside, the sun begins to dip, and Yolanda’s red toenails shine in the last golden light. 243. She glances at her reflection in the toaster, thinking—just for a moment—she saw a child’s face there. 244. But it’s gone, replaced by her true, loving smile. 245. She settles back at the table, tank top and sweatpants cozy, jewelry clinking with every gesture. 246. Her son tugs at her sleeve, nestling closer. 247. “Te quiero, mami,” he whispers. 248. “Te quiero, mijo,” she replies, her thick accent softened by love and contentment. 249. And so, as dinner simmers and laughter fills the house, Yolanda Rivera lives on—memories fresh, present whole, never thinking of that little boy again. 250. For in this home, she is mother, wife, cook, and heart—forever Yolanda.
