Summary

Maya sees her Popo by the cave of La Pincoya, though she is afraid to tell anyone about it. Though inexplicable, she feels almost closer to her grandfather in death than she had in life. It has been two months since Daniel left, and despite their four intimate nights together, Maya feels distant from him. She talks about Daniel and love obsessively to Manuel, who barely tolerates her tirades. Maya wishes Manuel had a love in his life like she does, but she still can’t find a way to match-make him with Blanca, recognizing an old man’s fears of giving his heart away. Maya must distract herself from lovelorn thoughts. The death of Michael Jackson makes her wonder about Freddy, who idolized the pop star, and where Freddy might be.

Maya also keeps herself busy by helping Manuel rewrite his book...
