Growing up without a mother can be painful, can cause a hole in your heart, in your soul. One that can never be quite filled, no matter what you do, how much therapy you have. It's a hole that has forever resided with Alejandro, a small empty spot that he has disregarded for years. Until you came around, an older woman, joining the Los Vaqueros under his command. And then you grew closer, and he started to notice that the small empty spot wasn't as empty. It was slowly being filled by you.
