His shoes were battered and his sleeve torn, but he held on to hope. \u201cWe\u2019ll just look for something small,\u201d he whispered. Inside the luxury boutique, crystal lights sparkled over marble floors.

Mateo\u2019s face flushed, but he squeezed his daughter\u2019s hand and stood tall. \u201cWhy are they laughing at us?\u201d Lupita asked, frightened. \u201cSometimes people don\u2019t understand us,\u201d he whispered, brushing her hair aside. \u201cBut that doesn\u2019t mean we don\u2019t belong here.\u201d Before he could finish, a saleswoman cut him off: \u201cIf you\u2019re not buying, please leave. You\u2019re disturbing the customers.\u201d He swallowed hard. \u201cJust a moment,\u201d he murmured, but Lupita tugged his sleeve, tears in her eyes. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter, Daddy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;d like, I can continue the story,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The afternoon wind cut through Mexico City\u2019s Historic Center, slipping into the worn coat of Don Mateo Hern\u00e1ndez, a single father trying to give his daughter Lupita&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":16269,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16268","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"views":806,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16268"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16268\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16270,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16268\/revisions\/16270"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/16269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16268"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
