"Who was that tall man sitting with Doña Alma's grandchildren? I've never seen him before, but the family's always kept to themselves, I had no idea they had any friends outside of town…"
"Señorita Rojas introduced him to me as Señor Oscar. Apparently, he's an old friend of the family who's been traveling abroad for quite some time. Barely made it here in time for the wedding, she said…"

Dolores smiled at her husband. "Sí. Just listening."
