"It's a beautiful ceremony," Valentina said to Natalia as they watched from afar.
"I know. Are you glad you came?"
Valentina breathed out. "In a way. I still think that I don't have any right to be here. She was sent on a mission to avenge the attack on the twins. My twins. She probably hates me even though I didn't know her."
"Don't be dramatic, Val. She doesn't hate you. It's not your fault what happened to her. It's those French freaks."
Valentina's heart still remained unsettled, as she watched the priest lead grace.
The voice of the soloist returned, signifying the end of the ceremony.
She watched as Isadora clung onto Luciano's arms.
A guy stepped forward, and Isadora moved away from Luciano to hug him tightly.
"Thats a new face," Natalia observed.
"Yeah," she replied.
The guy moved over to Luciano next, and repeated the same kind of bear hug.
When he pulled away, Luciano ruffled his hair playfully.
"They seem close to him." Natalia continued to observe out loud.
