This is not your fault or anything," he said, thinking that's where she was going with it. "And remember I had Adalia too? She was insane that night. I mean, she had to run, but she fought," he said, proudly. Mateo listened intently as his brother retold the awful night their parents perished and their house was destroyed. He then smiled at the mention of their eldest sibling, Adalia. "Man she was a spit-fire that night," he said, remembering it as if were yesterday. |
