“The stars always know,” Abuelita used to mumble to Camila in silent gaps between garlic being pressed with oregano.
When she lost her, Cami wheezed out a knot. That’s what it felt like--a knot of air, whistling out of her. Abuelita’s kettle. Sunday mornings.
After the funeral, Cami hunched her back, finally alone.
The blue-light of her phone broke her trance. It was a notification from her newest astrology app:
“Sit up straight.”
