She stared at the two of them as the woman kissed Brent on the cheek and wrapped her arm around his waist. "Guys, meet Hannah. She's my business partner in a project I'm starting. I met her in the U.S.," Brent introduced her. "Hi, everyone! Glad to meet you all, finally!" the woman said cheerfully. Their friends stood up one by one to introduce themselves and shook hands with her. When it was her turn, she stood up last. "I'm..." "Zyline, right?" the woman suddenly interrupted her.

Was he only allergic to me? Or was the woman in the video standing right in front of me? When Tessa saw me staring, she smiled. "Liv, don't blame Julian. I hurt my hand yesterday, so I asked him to drive me to the hospital. That's why he was delayed. The moment I heard you had a procedure too, I came over to apologize. You're not mad at me, are you?"

“I’m close, so I walked. Fuck New York traffic. I thought LA was bad.” He chuckled. “Come on. The truck in the corner is the one with the best tacos.” His hands came out of his pockets and one took hold of mine. He pulled me through the crowd and I could only follow behind him, my eyes locked on our hands.

I looked at the outstretched hand and looked at his face. “Umm right, I'm uhh Lara” I gave him the fakest smile I could mutter, dipping my hand into his and taking it off almost immediately. Bad idea. He smiled at me, and then his hands went back into his pocket. I made sure my face was to the bar, even though I knew Adriel Jaime was watching me. Everyone knows Adriel Jaime, just like everyone knows his brothers.

The people still bustled around, wind eagerly blowing the banners of various restaurants and their fascinating lights. Wow. I still can not believe that I am living my dream! I am literally in Havana. All thanks to one person who I never thought could do any thing nice for me or anyone. Braden Hills. Wow. I turned my attention from the tinted glasses and caught Braden staring at me with a disparaging smile on his lips. "Will you quit staring at me?" I said snappily at Braden. "You seem so fascinated by everything" Braden smiled at me.

my grandmother exclaims, stepping into view, her face alight with warmth and surprise. "Hola," I greet her, waving nervously, feeling like a child again under her affectionate gaze.

Craning my neck from left to right, I almost missed the signage with my full name except for the one holding the said material. I went near the person and tried to squint up to see his face better. "Fat Face?" My doubts died that very instant. "Alien," I confirmed, and this time, I gave his face a hard look hoping my eyes were only deceiving me, but I guess they weren't. It was indeed Allen the alien, my beloved cousin with whom I shared quite an unforgettable childhood. --- Aunt Hilda seemed more than happy to have me in her humble home. But her house was far from modest.

"My parents have gotten to America. It was my father who broke the window of your fortress, and brought me out." Almost like he's in a trance, David whispers, "But werewolf hunters not supposed to be in this country. It is not—" The shrill of my phone ringing cuts him off. I instantly glance down. Caller ID shows Leo Mío (which means Leo Mine in English.) Cheesing from cheek to cheek, I pick the call and put the phone to my ear. Leonardo's voice breaks in, vibrating with worry. "Lara?

I said quickly. "Hello miel." It was my dad. (Honey.) I could not hide my disappointment. Don't get me wrong, I love my father but at that point the only person I wanted to talk to was Nolan. "Hola Papá" I said sullenly. (Hello Dad). "Someone's not happy to hear from me..." He sulked.
