Maya

I wake up the next morning excited and ready to meet with the contractor. Now that things with Richard seem to be settled, I feel more ready to work with him on the house.

I breeze through the morning routine with enough energy to rival Abby. Her enthusiasm about starting summer camp rubs off on me, and we spend the entire car ride blasting her favorite song from the latest Dreamland princess movie.

I gave up on my battle against the Lims and their fairytale empire ages ago. It was a pointless fight, especially when all of Abby’s friends are obsessed with Dreamland and their princess movies. Even I have to admit the films are pretty cute, although Abby and I both agree it would be nice for them to have a movie about someone from Colombia. Bonus points if they’re from Barranquilla like my family.

By the time…
