A lender sends a formal inquiry to both you and Diego’s business address requesting urgent clarification on the disputed co-obligor status. Lucía’s number stops calling. Diego, however, begins texting like a man running through hallways inside his own life. We need to handle this privately. My mother is panicking. Please don’t let this become public. He follows that with, You know I was going to fix it.
That sentence stays with you longer than it should.
