I wanted to delay their move, make Magos see that her place, and Monstrilio’s, was with me. I would give up my apartment and Magos and I would buy a house. I would convince Joseph to stay in New York, tell him Magos didn’t want him. She had abandoned him, twice. She hadn’t even looked for him, had come to me instead. I would tell him Monstrilio was a monster that couldn’t love him.
