A real family.”She squeezed his hands gently. “This is our chance to start over. Leave the past behind. Forget Amelia. Forget everything that happened.”Alejandro searched her face, his voice barely above a whisper

She probably looked like a fish out of water."Leo giggled, but his giggles quickly turned back to tears. "Aunt Ariana, I don't want to go to that school. I want my mother. I want to see Mama."Ariana's expression softened. She cupped his face in her hands and looked into his eyes. "Listen to me, Leo. You are not going to that school. You are staying right here with me.
