I mean, she’s been pushing me to date for so long, but maybe actually knowing I’m with someone else makes her protective of her mother’s memory.
• “Is this about your mother? Do you think I’m replacing her?”
• “Papi, I have to go to work. Unless you’re calling to tell me you’ve stopped sleeping with her. I have nothing more to say to you.” She says, ignoring my question.
