Second Chance [Nano Domínguez]

Chapter 11

I step up to a house and ring the bell. Nano smiles at me while waiting for me in the car. Isabella Rodríguez answers the door. Isabella is 5'7" (Feet) brown hair color, blue eye color. Isabella smiles "Hi. What can I do for you?"

I stare at her for a moment then I take a deep breath "I'm Rosa... Rosaline Nunier Osuna" I hear two kids inside the house calling out to her.

A boy's voice "Mom, I can't find my shoes!"

Isabella says "They're in the kitchen, and they smell!"

A girl's voice "Who ate all the cereal?"

"Honey, there's more in the pantry. Y..." Dog barking "Well, apparently, my kids forgot that they were old enough to feed and clothe themselves today."

"You have kids."

"Um, listen, if you're... if you're selling magazines or... or religion, we're good on both, so... But thank you so much." she going to close the door.

I put my leg to stop the door "No, no. C..Centre Medic Sant Jordi de."

Isabella nods and points on a way "Oh, right, okay. Well, if you just go here, and you take Willowbrook..."

I shake my head "No, no, I-I was..."

Isabella continues "and then you're gonna... "

"I was born at Centre Medic Sant Jordi de, and soon after, I was left at the fire station on 23rd Street."  Isabella stares at me "I think that you're the person who left me. I think you're my mother. my name is Iphigenia"

Isabella steps outside and closes the door behind her quietly "Look, I don't know what you're after, but you can't be here."

"I'm not after anything. I just want to talk."

"You cannot be here." 

"There's a diner... a few miles up. Weird green roof? Ira's? One conversation. And you will never hear from me again."

I head to my car and sit in the passenger seat. 

Nano asks "What happened?"

"She is rude like me, drive to the diner, she must meet me there"

Nano nods and starts to drive.

I and Nano sit at the table, We wait at the diner, but Isabella hasn't come. Nano says "She won't show up"

I sigh "I want to punch her in the face"

"Let's go"

When we get up to go. Just as we do, Isabella arrives "The coffee here sucks."

Nano looks at our mugs "I've noticed."

I say "This is My boyfriend Fernando"

"I will sit at the other table to give you privacy" Nano walks to another table and sits alone.

Isabella sits "I'm late for work. Um... I work in the government office. Try to create jobs for underserved communities. I'm sorry. You knocked on my door. I don't..."

I sit "You have a house... a really beautiful house."

"Thank you...?"

"And kids and a dog and crown frickin' moldings."

"Do you need money? If this is about money..."

"I don't need your fucking money. Thank you."

"Look, I'm not quite sure what you expected..."
