My most recent shift at the bar, I was unloading dinner plates at Saul's dishpit when he asked me, "Katie, tienes novio?" I replied in the negative, and he followed up by asking if I was happy.
I shrugged. "A veces." And continued, "Creo que tener novio es como tener un trabajo en la iglesia." (Saul knows I do children's ministry.) "Cuando no lo tengo, lo extrano, y cuando lo tengo, es como, 'Ay, por que hago esto?'"
Saul laughed. And then we talked for a while about the wife and daughter he has waiting for him back in Mexico, waiting, mostly, for him to make a lot of money and then quit this crazy scene.
"Septiembre, quizas," he says. And I say, "Espero que si."
