Jaime Rushes Into the Room
By now, Jaime had heard what was happening. He ran into the room and embraced Maria. Jaime hadn’t had the courage to tell Maria the full truth. He was ashamed. But he and his mom explained everything. Jaime’s mom had legally changed her name and moved to another country to rebuild her life. To protect his mom’s identity, Jaime rarely talked about her. He told Maria he kept things hidden from her only to protect his mom. But he realized now that, as husband and wife, they had to tell each other everything.
