A little later that evening Natasha was helping Pepa and Luisa set the table for dinner. The three were talking about a new hairdo for her as Julieta, Maribel's mom walks in with Nikita holding plates of food. Abuela came into the room as well. It wasn't long until everyone was called down for dinner via Dolores.

Speaking of Dolores, the 22 year old had a smug look on her face as she took her seat next to her father. Antonio skipped to his seat and planted himself next to Natasha. Isabela sat across from Natasha and made a funny face at her causing the latter to laugh. Luisa took her seat next to Isabela and Camilo sat next to her.

Winking at Natasha from his spot. The girl blushed and giggled which did not go unnoticed by Pepa. When the rest of the family was situated at the table they said prayer and proceeded to get the food. Making small conversation with each other. "So what did you two do today?" Pepa asked while looking at her son and the girl next to her.

"Oh uh we just hung out at the library. Nothing fancy or anything." Camilo said nonchalantly while eating. "Well I heard you two at the library. Because you know I can hear anything, and I heard some very... Interesting things." Dolores smirked as Natasha started choking. Nikita patted Natasha's back so she could get herself together.

"Oh? What did you hear?" Pepa asked raising her eyebrow at her son. "Nothing! She didn't hear anything! Right?!" "Oh no I hear a lot. You two sounded like you were having fun. Some pretty mature fun." Félix patted his son's back. "That's my boy! Romance is in your blood!" Pepa however wasn't happy. Neither was Nikita.

"What did you do!?"" Ok look Mom! It didn't mean anything! It was nothing! We were just having fun!" Natasha felt her heart shatter as Camilo played off their time together didn't mean anything. Standing from her seat Natasha walked to Camilo and slapped him so hard he nearly fell out his chair. "Oh I'm sorry Camilo. It didn't mean anything!"

Tears rolled down the girl's face as she ran out the room. Pepa felt torn whether she should be upset Natasha slapped Camilo or that he played with her feelings. "Shit... I should go talk to her." Camilo went to go to her but he was pulled back by Isabela. "I'll talk to her. This a girl thing."

Isabela followed the sound of Natasha's cries to the stairs where she sat. Isabela sat next to the girl and let the girl hug her. "Boys are stupid you know... They don't know how to keep from hurting a girl's fragile heart." When her sobs quieted down Natasha lifted her head. Isabela smiled at the younger girl and wiped her tears with her sleeve.

"Don't cry over him. You're way too pretty to get frown lines." Natasha giggled and sniffled. "If only I could just slap my betrothed. Ugh. You should see how he is. So not my type! I don't wanna marry him!" Natasha looked at the older woman curiously. "Tell him that." Isabela sighed and patted Natasha's head and stood.

"It's more complicated than that sweetie. You gonna be ok to go back in there?" Natasha shook her head no. "I prefer to eat in my room tonight... I need time before I can face everyone." Isabela nodded and helped her to her room. "I'll bring your plate to you ok?" "Thank you Isabela. You're really nice." Isabela smiled and left the room and Natasha to her thoughts.

In the middle of the night Natasha had woken up to get a glass of water. Walking to the kitchen Natasha heard a noise coming from the room. She noticed the light being on and she walked in cautiously. Stopping in surprise she witnessed a man in the kitchen feeding his rats some leftovers. The man turned noticing the girl.

"Oh we meet again... Hi..." Natasha waved slowly still confused at what he was doing in the madrigal home. "Wait weren't you the man at the gift ceremony? I never got your name." Bruno tensed up at the mention of his name. "Oh it's not important! Um are you ok? You looked pretty upset earlier... Don't ask me how I know. I just know." Natasha sat in a chair with her eater and looked at the man.

"You wanna talk about it?" "No... I just think I lost a friend is all..." Bruno touched her hand gently as small tears fell from her eyes. "It's ok. Everything is gonna work out. Trust me. I would know." Cántico ran up to Natasha and rubbed his little head on her other hand causing the girl to awe at his cuteness.

"His name is Càntico. He likes you because you saved him from that cat.... I can understand them kinda." The two continued their talk well into the early morning hours. Getting up from his seat, Bruno stretched and looked over at Natasha. Who had fallen asleep at the table.

"I'll take her to her room and them we go back. The man picked Natasha up from her seat and carried her to her room. Careful not to be noticed by anyone. He laid her in her bed and tucked her in. Kissing her head Bruno slipped into the darkness. Back inside the walls. "It'll get better Mija. It'll get better."
