her phone and wallet inside the purse, double-checking its contents with practiced precision.
222. Juana sniffles, feeling a strange sense of urgency, even as her newly painted red nails shine back at her.
223. She swings the purse strap confidently over her plump shoulder, a gesture that feels both natural and bizarrely rehearsed.
224. The tank top — bright floral pattern with pink and red hibiscuses across a background of bold turquoise, tight around her generous bust and stomach, the airy fabric pinching under her arms — feels snug and familiar.
225. Her matching shorts, high-waisted and made of thick stretchy denim, hug her hips, with embroidered flowers at the pockets and scrolling golden thread.
226. Her flip flops — black with thick, cushioned soles and bright red straps adorned with tiny rhinestone hearts — thwack gently against her now broad, tan feet, accentuating the vivid, freshly painted red polish on her toes.
227. She feels the weight of the jewelry:
1. A chunky golden necklace with a charm shaped like a mariachi hat around her neck
2. A pair of golden hoop earrings glinting against her curls
3. A filigree gold bracelet on her left wrist
4. An ornate beaded anklet in festive colors
5. Her wedding ring, thick and set with a small diamond, snug on her ring finger
228. Juana inhales deeply, trying to process the powerful wave of memories surging within her — memories of birthday cakes made from scratch, family Christmases piled into her aunt's tiny home in Jalisco, arguments and jokes in rapid Spanish, late-night worries about her son's homework.
229. She shakes her head, bouncy curls swishing across her cheeks, as the old memories of being "the boy" seem impossibly faint and unreachable now, like a dream slipping away with the dawn.
230. Wiping more tears from her eyes, Juana says quietly, "Okay, okay, I need to pull myself together."
231. She looks at the living room, takes in the familiar sight of her son's shoes by the door, the bright woven rug her mother sent last Christmas, the faint scent of last night's mole still clinging to the air.
232. "¿Dónde están mis llaves?" she mutters, shuffling through memories that tell her exactly which bowl on the kitchen counter holds her keys.
233. On her way, she catches her reflection in a mirror — wide, almond-shaped brown eyes framed with a touch of eyeliner, plump rosy cheeks, her long wavy black hair tamed into an orderly bun atop her head.
234. Juana stares at her reflection. The heavy, loving, slightly chaotic presence of a mother — her son's mother — stares back.
235. She whispers, "Este soy yo ahora."
236. She dabs her cheeks, drawing in a shuddering breath as the truth finally settles deep in her soul: she is Juana Morales, proud mother and caretaker, married, loved, sometimes tired but strong.
237. She glances down at her phone, her hot pink case studded with faux gems, to check the shopping list Antonio texted her before leaving.
238. The names and schedule feel as familiar and essential as her own name — which is now only Juana, with no memory left of another self.
239. She looks at the time. "Dios mío, I'm running late!"
240. Purse in hand, keys jangling, Juana steps toward the door, pausing on the welcome mat.
241. The wind outside is hot and the cicadas are buzzing.
242. Juana closes her eyes and lets the sun-warmed air sweep over her, her flip flops firmly underfoot, her heart suddenly full with conviction and, surprisingly, an odd sense of happiness and belonging.
243. With a last glance back into the cool dimness of the living room, Juana quietly whispers, "Gracias por la familia, gracias por la vida."
244. She adjusts her tank top, wipes the last trace of tears from her eyes, and steps out the door.
245. The familiar weight of her body and her love for her son fill her with purpose.
246. The story of the boy is gone, replaced forever by the steady, everyday story of Juana Morales, mother, wife, and heart of her home.
247. With each sure, flip-flopped step, she walks forward — into her new, rightful life.
