When the Moon Was Ours

Aracely calls Sam and asks him to come over and help cure a man’s lovesickness—Miel normally helps her, but today she is distant and confused, making mistakes. Sam helps Aracely gather the ingredients so she can remove the lovesickness. Miel forgets to open the window, which almost traps the lovesickness inside; Sam opens it just in time. Miel and Sam go outside and feel awkward around each other. They kiss, though Miel refuses to explain what happened with the Bonner sisters. She leaves Sam alone and confused.

Aracely tries to understand Miel’s fear of pumpkins. Miel, meanwhile, goes to the Bonners’ farm to see if the pumpkins are still turning to glass. She sees that more of them have transformed, signifying the discord within the house. Miel worries that the town will blame her for the pumpkins, and that the sisters will spread lies about her mother. She’s uncertain what they plan to do with her roses. She determines to refuse the next time they come for her. Looking around, she sees some of the glass pumpkins turning back into fruit.
