Manolo never thought that his plan would work; he never even thought that he could go through with the whole thing, but he had and now here
he was. Alone. In a room. With the two people he held closest to his heart. It had already been several months since after Chakal's army was defeated and he already mourned and celebrated the life of his father and his great grandmother. After the wedding Maria had agreed to move into the Sanchez house and, after removing all of the bull skins and trophies, decorated almost all of

Maria sat with her legs folded beneath her reading a book as she leaned on an arm rest while Manolo was seated on the armchair next to her, idly cleaning his guitar. Their guest sprawled himself out over the sofa across from Maria and had said earlier that he would only "rest his eyes" though he was now snoring quietly. Manolo paused to glance

It was a perfect time to go through with his plan and he was going to take it. Leaning back in his seat he adjusted his guitar in his lap and tweaked a few strings to make sure it was still tuned. Glancing up at Joaquin again he smiled and let his fingers fall over the first few cords.
