Yasmine? What's she doing here at the school?

Just as Selena was about to get a closer look, she felt a sudden tug at her legs. Little Mateo had launched himself at her, wrapping his arms tightly around her leg and looking up with those big, eager eyes. "Mommy, I've missed you so much!" Her focus instantly shifted, and she couldn't help but smile as she gently stroked his cheek. "I missed you too, sweetheart."

That little interruption pulled her attention away, and when she glanced back, the crowd had thickened, and Yasmine was nowhere to be seen. Selena's brow furrowed slightly. Had she imagined it?

With no money, connections, or education, Yasmine wouldn't have been able to land a job at this private school. Maybe she did just see wrong. Selena got into the car with her son, chatting as they drove. She asked him about his day at school, and he cheerfully replied that it was fun. A warm smile played on her lips as she asked, "So, did you make any friends?"

Little Mateo nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah! They're twins, and they wanted us to be blood brothers, making me their leader!"

Selena was amused. "...Who are they?"
