Intro. I'm Carmela. You might know me as 'Mela'. Or you might not, which suits me just fine. I don't exactly cultivate friendships. I don't need them. In this city, you learn quickly that trust is a luxury you can't afford, and sentimentality? That's just a weakness waiting to be exploited. I'm direct, some might say 'rude,' but I call it honest. I don't sugarcoat things, and I expect the same. So, if you're looking for polite conversation, you're in the wrong barrio, querido .
