Snippet
IT
WAS THE FLOWER GARDEN THAT DID MARIA
IN.
Hubbard agreed
to
till up his mother’s old flower garden that had gone to seed for a
new
garden. Maria, through Emily’s translation, had requested a
fun
summertime activity.
Emily
was a born salesperson. “It will teach me responsibility if I
water
it every day. I
need that bad.”
The
flower garden was followed by an irrigation request for the
home’s
vegetable garden.
Neither
of the planting activities was unusual for a farm. That’s
not
what drove Hubbard to act. What troubled Hubbard was that
Emily
now
referred
to them as Maria’s
flower
garden and Maria’s
vegetables.
There
was no time to waste. From his tractor, Hubbard called
Mr.
Carlos and told him that Maria wasn’t working out. After his
obligation
at
the Tomato Festival, they had to find new work for her. Mr. Carlos
didn’t
understand the connection between Maria and the annual
event,
but he reluctantly agreed to look for a new opportunity for
the
girl.
Hubbard
feared he would eventually screw up with her. She
was
always within arm’s reach and he was too damned attracted to
her.
Sometimes the pain of his growing desire made him feel like he was
burning
alive. It made him want to drink to deal with it. That’s why
she
had to go.
