Chapter 8
Grandmother Chela’s bags were packed, and she seemed very ready to go home. She smiled calmly as if she hadn’t completely shaken Selena and Xavier like a child with a new snow globe. While Mr. and Mrs. Spinoza stepped outside, getting Grandmother Chela’s luggage in the truck, Selena took advantage of their time alone.
“I’m still confused about this heart gifted business and so is Xavier.”
She cupped her granddaughter’s face in her hands. “Selenita, stop over-thinking this.”
“But Grandmother Chela, how can I not think about it. This is very confusing.”
“It will all make sense later on.”
“What do Xavier and I do in the meantime? What are we supposed to do with this?”
“Wait.”
“Wait?” Selena asked.
“Now that you know what I told you, the path you need to be on will open to you.”
“But—“
“Stop asking questions and start doing what you do best, my Selenita.”
“What is that?”
“Being aware.”
“Aware?” Selena asked.
“Yes, with your brain and heart.”
“But—“
"Don't stress over this. Just take it easy."
"Okay."
."You’ll know where I’m at if you need me. I’m only a quick phone call away. Don’t forget to be careful.”
“I won’t forget, Grandmother Chela.”
