Chapter 16
Maria married Dr. Aaron Patel when Leo was fourteen.
A pediatric surgeon.
Gentle.
Funny.
Completely unable to win an argument with her.
The wedding was in a small garden.
Leo walked Maria down the aisle at her request.
He wore a navy suit and looked more emotional than he wanted anyone to know.
Before they walked, Maria adjusted his tie.
“You were my first baby in this country,” she whispered.
Leo’s eyes filled.
“You saved me first.”
She smiled.
“Fair.”
During the reception, I gave a toast.
I kept it short.
For once.
“Maria taught us that courage can wear an apron, carry a child, and speak quietly while pointing at the truth.”
Everyone cried.
Maria threatened to throw cake at me.

Aaron said, “She means it.”
We believed him.
