Y/n's POV

After we finished cleaning her room Mirabel and I got down, she stayed closed to me knowing that I'm too scared and anxious facing them.

I mean it's my first time in a while going here in casita and now I'm having a dinner with them. What would I do if señora alma didn't like me sitting in one table with them or her?

"Relax yourself y/n. They would easily notice just looking how stiff you are" Mira whispered to me while heading to the kitchen.

Nodding, I did what she said and calm myself down. Breathing deeply and gulp as I suddenly hold Mirabel's hand.

Clasping my hand to hers causing the girl beside me to jolt up all of a sudden. I glance at her curiously, eyes asking what's wrong.

Mirabel chuckled kinda awkward and take a look at our hands for a quick moment before facing me.

"I'm sorry, you must be startled by that. I'm really nervous and you're the only one I can hold to" I said in almost audible, I'm being careful talking here what if Dolores hear me or something.

"No, no it's okay. I understand but you shouldn't hold on me like that all of a sudden" Mirabel replied, nodding, we continue to head where the Madrigals right now.

I didn't take my hands of Mirabel out of nervousness, thankfully she hold me tight as if she's saying that she's here for me.

I don't know why but I feel like my heart suddenly beat much faster than normal and when I peek at Mirabel's face it's almost red like tomato, she's also biting both of her lips like she's trying to stop her mouth to form.

Once we're almost near the table my hand started to shake and sweat, just hearing different chattering from the inside makes my nerves to go wild.

Staring infront, I couldn't take my eyes off of the back of different person, some were looking at our side we're going in and some were not.

"Tonight's going to be fine so don't worry too much" she said but I think Mirabel's saying it to herself.

I could only nod at what she said and we both enter slowly, trying not to gain any attention.

But it turns otherwise, as soon as we went to the chair where we supposed to sit, everyone's attention and gazes are now towards us, especially me.

They started to murmur and whisper to each other and I swear I could feel a deep stares on my side.

As I look up, I see new and unfamiliar faces. The unfamiliar is looking at me in curiosity, some of the people here is staring deep into my soul while others don't care.

There's also a kid sitting on different side which I think is Dolores and Isabela's children with their husbands since they're much look alike .

After I settled, Mirabel didn't take her hands off me the whole time. She's squeezing it, ensuring me.

"Okay, since everyone is here and seated properly on their chair let's stay silent first while my mamá is going to say something"

Julieta look at my side, smiling genuinely as the noise died down.

And then after that, everyone is now looking at señora alma, well not at all. I was looking down at my plate or lap the whole time, I still can't face that old woman.

"Gracias Julieta and to everyone who is here for granting my request. This is the first time in a while since we have a dinner together" Señora said in a low and raspy tone due to her age, she stopped for a moment and I can feel her eyes roaming around the table.
