———————————————————

3 weeks had passed since Mirabel's gift ceremony. The only time I could see Isabela was when we coincidentally met in town or when I visited Mirabel. She and the rest of the Madrigals had been busy with so much the past weeks. I've been spending more time with Mirabel than any of them.

I didn't want Mirabel to feel excluded by her family just because she didn't get a gift. Especially since they didn't even seem to have time for her either. I know Abuela was trying to think of the town, but she clearly wasn't aware of how her actions are affecting everyone.

I sigh as I rub my temples. Isabela must be extremely tired too, I can't imagine being able to keep up with all of the sudden events.

I spend the whole day painting, going from place to place, making them small and quick to test my skills with detail. When I reach the center of town, I see newly placed flowers by the fountain.

I smile as I approach, getting closer to smell them. I'm instantly reminded of Isabela and I shouldn't be surprised by that; after all, she was the one who grew them. I miss her.

I start to paint them quickly and spend the day there, sitting on the bench as I savor the feeling of her flowers, of her presence that I wasn't able to be graced by.

I sigh as night immediately falls. Surely it wouldn't be too much to come to visit her, right? I did it all the time before the ceremony, a little visit wouldn't harm her.

I look at the moon as I lie on the bench, the sky filled with bright stars. "I miss you mi flor." I whisper, hoping Dolores would pass it on to Isabela.

I gulp as I stand up, deciding to really visit her. It was just past dinner so I wouldn't be interrupting them... hopefully.

I head to their door and take a deep breath. I knock, hoping anyone but Abuela would greet me by the door. When I hear shuffling, casita opens the door on its own and I'm greeted by tía Julieta. She looks at me solemnly as she strokes my cheek. "Here to visit her?" She asks as she pulls away and gestures for me to go inside.

I nod while looking at her with hope. "Would it be alright, tía? I wouldn't want to intrude..." I knew I was walking on thin ice with everything that happened. I didn't want to add fuel to the fire and mess things up more.

"You could never intrude corazón. Head on up to her, I'm sure she'd love to see you." She says as she gives me a little push on the back.

I smile and wave when she leaves. When I reach Isa's door, I knock gently. "Isa? It's me, I wanted to come to visit you real quick..."

The door immediately opened after a bit of shuffling was heard from inside. I'm greeted by Isabela with ruffled hair, breathing heavily, and in her pajamas. She smiles and pulls me in before closing the door.

She lies on her bed and pats on the space next to her, gesturing for me to lie with her. We turn to face each other, propping my face on my raised elbow as she stares into my eyes.

I lean in and brush her hair behind her ear. "How have you been?" I whisper while maintaining the closeness.

She sighs and takes my hand, placing it against her cheek and leaning further into the touch as she closes her eyes. "I'm exhausted and I miss you. I haven't seen you for a while now." She says gently, trying to steady her voice.
