FORBIDDEN INTIMACY [SPG]
A chandelier hung in the center, adding a majestic touch to the sitting area.
We were greeted by laughter as we reached the dining room.
Everyone was there. Don Manuelo Altamirano sat at the head of the table. To his right was his wife, Amalia. On his left sat Sebastian, and beside him was the same girl he’d brought to his mother’s birthday party. Sylvie Amores, his Mexican girlfriend.
I felt like running away the moment our eyes met. He seemed so pleasant today, a far cry from the intimidating, dominant Sebastian I knew. Maybe he was happy because his girlfriend was here.
