Clemencia
Clemencia’s lover in “Never Marry a Mexican.” Drew is a white man with a wife named Megan, with whom he has a son. Nonetheless, Drew can’t keep himself away from Clemencia, who takes pride in being able to draw him from his wife. When they make love together, Drew speaks Spanish into Clemencia’s ear, intimately using her language in moments of great passion. Despite his strong feelings for her, though, he always goes back to Megan. He tries to explain to Clemencia that he could never possibly marry her, but this only infuriates her, casting him as heartless and cold.
