“Good morning, Mr. Gomez.”
“And to you, Emilia. How are you this morning?”
“Very well, Genevieve and I just finished breakfast. The girl is now waiting for her eggs to hatch, as you know.”
“Ah, yes. Today is that day.”
“She couldn’t keep on her feet because of the excitement. That girl! Always so cheerful.”
“Is something the matter, Isaac? You’ve been awfully quiet.”
“Nothing, Emilia. Just...”
“It is not nothing if you’re bothered by it, dear friend.”
“Can I come by and visit? Maybe we can talk about it then.”
“Oh, alright. If you don’t mind me asking, what’s all the fuss about?”
“It’s about your daughter... Genevieve.”
“Esa chica... Genevieve, is it?”[That girl]
“Si, señor .”[Yes, sir.]
“Her attributes?”
“She’s a college graduate, she knows her way around the house, and she’s a beauty. Everyone in town loves her.”
“Call Isaac.”
“Que, Señor?”[For what, Sir?]
“Dile que he elegido a mi esposa.”[Tell him that I’ve chosen my wife.]
