A gangster hiding from his past. A single mom

My name is
\nSalvador Rosas. Back in the barrio<\/i>,
\nmy past is written on the walls: ESHB<\/i>.
\nShort for East Side Hollenbeck, my father\u2019s gang\u2014my gang. Hell, it\u2019s a family
\ntradition, one that sent both my brothers away. They used to call me \u201cGhost\u201d
\nbecause I haunted people\u2019s dreams. Now I\u2019ve got nothing going for me except a
\nhipster gringo mentoring me in a new career. An ex-con making craft beer? No mames.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>Still, people in this neighborhood look out for one another. That\u2019s how I
\nbecame Vanessa Velasco\u2019s unwelcome tenant. Chiquita
\npero picosa.<\/i> She\u2019s little, but with curves so sweet they\u2019re dangerous. I
\nremember Vanessa from the old days, the straight-A student with big plans.
\nPlans that were derailed by another kid stupid enough to think he was
\nbulletproof. Now Vanessa knows better than to believe in empty promises.
\nThere\u2019s fire in her . . . and if I touch her, I might get burned.I\u2019m trying everything I can to go straight. But when East Side Hollenbeck comes
\ncalling, I might have to risk it all to find out if there\u2019s a future for
\nVanessa and me. Because she\u2019s the only one who can quench my thirst for
\nsomething real.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Excerpt<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The ride
\nstarts with a burst of music like a jack-in-the-box. We glide backward and over
\na couple of times. The Ferris wheel stops to let other passengers on. At the
\nvery top, our carriage swings back and forth before it goes still.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Now I can
\nsee my neighborhood from a different viewpoint, high above. The lights of the
\ncarnival are bright and beautiful. The smells of tacos, hot dogs, and popcorn
\nfill my nose. People pack the church parking lot. Cars line the street, and in
\nthe surrounding houses, lights in the windows show where families are talking
\nor watching TV or having dinner.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cHow are
\nyou doing?\u201d I ask.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cI\u2019m all
\nright.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
She\u2019s
\nlooking at the same things I am. I wonder if she is seeing the same details. I
\nstroke her hair and take another risk. \u201cSo what do you think?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cAbout
\nwhat?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cStarting
\nsomething with me?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
She takes a
\ndeep breath but doesn\u2019t say anything.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cWhat are
\nyour doubts?\u201d I say.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cAre you
\nkidding?\u201d She snorts. \u201cYou\u2019re seriously asking me that?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
I laugh a
\nlittle. \u201cOkay, well. Besides the obvious.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cYou have
\nyour own life. I have mine. You\u2019re trying to rebuild from the ground up. I\u2019m
\ntrying to secure my daughter\u2019s future. We\u2019re heading in different directions.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
She isn\u2019t
\nwrong. Life has disappointed her in such deep and cruel ways, I don\u2019t blame her
\nfor protecting herself. But even as she tells me this\u2014the truth about how we\u2019re
\nnot right for each other\u2014I feel how right it is to talk to her, to hold her
\nhand, to show her who I am. \u201cI have an idea,\u201d I say. \u201cProbation.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cI\u2019m only
\naround for two months, right?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cRight.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cSpend
\nthose two months with me.\u201d I look into her eyes. \u201cI want to be with you,
\nVanessa.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cSal\u2014\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be
\ngone before I have a chance to disappoint you.\u201d When the words leave my mouth,
\nI try to ignore how pathetic they sound. \u201cWe\u2019re adults, not dumb kids. We won\u2019t
\nlose our heads.\u201d I run my fingers through her silky hair. \u201cI swear to God,
\nevery time I look at you, I feel . . .\u201d I reach for the most honest word I can
\nfind. \u201cThirsty.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
