shoulder. I didn’t look around to see who it was because I could tell by the

way he was pressing his hand on my shoulder that he was angry with me.

“Julio… what is it that you want?”

“She’s my daughter, I’m the one who will take her home, Sebastian…” he was

now in front of me and wearing a fake smile, his voice sounding ingratiating.

And as he was talking, he extended his arm to take Celine from my me, but I

retreated a step in the opposite direction. “She’s not going home with you.
