The waitress returns with the bottle of wine Evelyn asked for. We order our breakfast, and the lady pours some wine in Evelyn's glass, then she pours one for my mom. "No thanks", I tell her, before she starts pouring one for me too. Once it is just the 4 of us at the table, Evelyn presses my mom to continue with her story.
"What are you insinuating about his wife?" Evelyn asks, noticing my mom's tone. "Well, let me tell you about his awesome wife you guys got him." Oh no... no mom, don't do this, please. "She's the one who got him back on that crap." "That can't be true, Gabriela, she is an accomplished nice young lady. We have known her and her family for years." Evelyn seems upset and my mom doesn't show any compassion.
