It seemed like a miserable day for the Madrigals. It was the anniversary of Abuelo's death, an already somber day for the family. But despite the fact that they had tio Bruno back in their midst, Camilo's family was in a stormy mood (his mother quite literally).
Right from the moment he woke up, Camilo noticed the shift in everyone's mood.
"Camilo!" Dolores hissed. "Wake up everyone's waiting for you"
"Huh"
His sister glared at him and yelled. "Can you hurry up already?"
This woke him up instantly, not because she yelled at him but because she yelled at all. His sister was a very quiet person by nature, the result of both her gift and her very loud family. So for her to yell and not even bother to cover and protect her ears? Something was seriously wrong.
"Hey, is everything alright?". It was like Dolores was a balloon and Camilo had deflated her. She sank onto his bed and started to cry.
Camilo blinked. He'd never seen her cry, not really. He sat down next to her and put a hand on her shoulder while she poured her heart out.
