but on the OTHER hand ana as a kid in the summer. racing around in the heat in her sundresses, crowding around a sprinkler system with the rest of the neighbourhood kids as they play in the spray. her going down to the community pool with maria, sweaty hand in sweaty hand, and doggy paddling desperately as her sister tries to teach her to swim. mrs flores maybe taking a moment to stretch out on a sun lounger next to them and relax, the times that she comes along to supervise. ana chasing down ice cream vans, sticking her face in front of the rickety electric fan they own and closing her eyes as it blows her hair from her face. exploring the neighborhood in search for bugs and butterflies and cute tiny lizards, and playing make believe in the front garden. just something about her absolutely living for the summer, at least when she's younger.
