“My reunion with Gina was wonderful. We stood by Tom Garza as the couple ran between the cheering guests, a shower of birdseed spangling the soft October air. Iris’s face glowed. She held her long train. The creamy satin dress was a glorious foil for her raven dark hair and creamy complexion. Rick’s arm curved proudly around her shoulders. He laughed aloud as a young cousin held the door to the car. White shoe polish marked the windows, Newlyweds, Happy, Happy Day. As the car pulled away, I read... the legend on the rear window: “Mexico City or Bust.” I stayed another day, had dinner with Maria Elena and Manuel. We spoke of happiness, not sorrow. But, when I was taking my leave, she reached out, took my hands in hers. “Tesoros will be in good hands with Rick and Iris.” We didn’t speak of Tony. It was Tom Garza who told me Tony was living in Hawaii, running a para-sailing business. Susana’s trial was pending, but there was very little evidence. She’d never admitted anything.MoreLessRead More Read Less
