"She seems to be doing better," Mariah told Juan cheerfully.
"She is. This woman that has been working with her is incredible."
Mariah sat down next to her brother in law.
"It's funny," Mariah said, "as I was going through my stuff last night I found something that Eva and I made when we were little kids"
"What was it," he asked.
"It was our 'what we were going to change when we got older if we could change' list"
Juan laughed.
"That's a long title for a list," he said.
She showed him the list.
"Hm," he said, "Some of them are really good and I agree with number twelve."
"You do?"
"Yes. I do"
"Jimmy said it was stupid"
"Jimmy is stupid sometimes himself. He was stupid rather."
"Hey," Mariah laughed
"Most guys can be stupid at times," Juan said, "I'm no exception to that rule. Did I ever time you that the night before Eva got sick she and I had a fight?"
"No. I didn't know that. What was it about?"
"I don't even know," Juan said, "She was mad about something that happened and I found it to be silly and told her she needed to stop being so dramatic"
"Well Eva loves acting. That would be a compliment to her."
Juan laughed.
"Yeah well I didn't quite say it in a complimentary way"
