Summary
Small human speak understand? said the rat, with tilted head and sounds higher than Antonio had ever heard before he opened his door last night.
“Yeah, I understand you.” Between all the time they’d spent preparing for his ceremony yesterday, and everything they needed to do for Isabela’s engagement today, Antonio’s family was super busy. He had told Mamí and Papí that he wanted to play in his room for a while, but that was before he found a rat waiting outside his door. His room would still be there later, he decided.

Summary
She was fine. Of course she was fine. What did she possibly have to complain about?
She was Isabela Madrigal with the perfect Gift, perfect hair and clothes. She had the perfect family and the perfect boyfriend.
Isabela was perfect and that made everyone happy. So why did she feel so on edge? Why couldn’t she stop her ridiculous daydreams of trying something new? She didn’t need new. The family certainly didn’t need her to act so foolish.
She’d be fine.
🌸🌵
A study in the growth of Isabela Madrigal: from roses to cacti, and all the anxiety in between.
