When Marion got home, Itzel was helping Dwayne get dressed.
The scene gave him an uneasy feeling, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
These were his parents, but something felt off.
"Marion, what's with you? I told you to come early, and now guests are almost here," Itzel grumbled, reaching to take his coat. "I was expecting a beautiful daughter, but it's fine. I've got dresses you'd look stunning in."
"Mom, we talked about this," Marion protested.
"I'm just bummed, okay?" She handed him a suit. "Your dad had this made. Wear it for dinner. Don't embarrass him in front of the guests."
Dwayne chimed in, "No way. If we'd moved faster back then, Debra would be calling me Dad now."
Marion recalled the past. When they were little, they used to play together. Then he had left the country, and they had lost touch.
Now the name sounded oddly familiar to him.
"Marion, quit spacing out. Get ready," Itzel urged.
"Yes, ma'am," he replied, walking into his room with the suit.
The room felt like home but wrong, like he didn't belong.
The guests arrived, and he went down.
He greeted Gael and Lori but felt out of place at the family gathering.
