“Bowe shakes his head. “You’re not, Soto. I know you can’t see it—because you’re one of those annoying kids in school who thinks getting ninety-nine on the test only means you didn’t get one hundred.” “It does mean that.” “Yeah, and there you go, ruining the curve for everybody else.” “And everyone hates me.” “I wish you could see it from the outside.” “See what?” Bowe looks me in the eye and is quiet for a moment. And then he says, “Eres perfecta, incluso en tu imperfección.” I sit up, unsure I heard him right. But of course I did. His accent is terrible, but it has knocked the wind out of me just the same.”
