And for Dania Sparza, that was okay. matched

Because really, she loved having her daughter here with her, at home, at the shop with her. matched

She didn't want that to change. matched

And so really keep the men away, that was okay with her. matched

And so now Dona Esparza she she sat at the window and just openly stared at this this man who was singing his his homemade love song, you know, through the glass to to Pasculeita. matched

And Dona Esparza she just she just watched until the man eventually just gave up and walked away. matched

And so Pascualita's rosy cheeks were a product of the makeup the morticians put on them during the embalming process, and her eyes sparkled so beautifully because they had been replaced with glass eyeballs. matched

And so when the now preserved corpse, matched

Ganya Esparza put it in the display window and told her customers that Pascualita, her corpse, was actually just a mannequin. matched

A really realistic, beautiful mannequin. matched

But the reality was matched

Nobody really believed her. matched
