“You have your own legend now, did you know?”
Soledad looked up. A legend. As if she were something like Santiana’s Sombrerón, or like Hidalgo’s Charro Negro.
When all she had done was move and work and try not to think too much about what she was doing or why.
“No,” she said. “What is it?”
He grinned and spread his palms. “They call you La Llorona.”
She set her glass down. “The Weeping Woman.”
“I like it.”
“It’s a terrible name.”
“Ah, but you have always cried so prettily, Soli. They say you’re the Herald of Death. That you help souls pass on. That you mourn those stuck in purgatory.” He leaned back and raised his pint to her, “I think its a lovely name.”

“Eréndira’s voice gentled, just slightly. “I am your Mother now.” Her voice dropped, the warmth in it precise and surgical. “I love you as I love all my children. Completely. Without softness. Without mercy. Without end.”
