"Mario Isabel does not say good-bye to her daughter. She does not hug her. She gets out of the car and walks briskly into the bus terminal. She does not look back. She never tells her she is going to the United States.
Rosa Amalia lifts Jasmin onto the hood of her car. As the bus pulls out of the terminal, she tells the girl to say good-bye. Jasmin waves with both hands and calls out, 'Adíos, mami. Adíos, mami. Adíos, mami. Adíos, mami'"(p. 240).
