"Kiss"

After months of preparations and excitement, today is finally the day of Mariano and Dolores's Wedding Day.

It's still pretty early in the morning and the ceremony starts exactly at one in the afternoon, but everyone couldn't help but be so busy already.

Quietly, opening the door to her siblings' nursery, Estella takes a peek just to see if they were still asleep, and to her surprise, sees how her little brother was already standing up by the railings.

She chuckled softly, going inside to go check on him. "Good morning," She whispered at him, picking him up and turning him around to check for. . .

Well, poop.

Fortunately, he hasn't taken a massive dump yet. After successfully changing him, Estella takes him out of the nursery so he wouldn't make any more noise that could wake la princesa, Lorena.

"C'mon, let's go hombrecito," The girl smiled, putting her hair on one side so she could carry her brother on the other. "You know how cranky she gets whenever she wakes up against her will," Estella tells him, sighing at how he's already trying to grab on her hair.

"Lorenzo, hair isn't food," She said, trying to move her head and her hair away from his baby hands. Heaven knows how far that just goes.

Benito greets them in the hallway, clapping his hands at his son and gesturing if Estella would pass him the child. Giving her father her little brother, Lorenzo, she hears him ask, "Is Lorena still asleep?"

"Si," She answered, making her father nod at her before the two parted ways with her, taking her brother downstairs so she could get ready or get some rest for a bit.

Hearing a thud and a grunt from outside her door, the girl shakes her head as she smiled, knowing how he was probably going to be on the other side as she comes in again.

Seeing Estella open the door, Camilo smiled at her sheepishly while her face changed from excited to confused.

"What exactly have you been doing?" She asked, walking towards him and picking out a leaf from his head.

Catching her attention by wagging a flower at her in his hand, he tucks her hair behind her ear and says, "For you."

Estella chuckled, taking the flower and putting it in a vase on her bedside table along with all the other flowers he gave her throughout the week.

"Could I ask for a small favor, amor?" He grinned, tilting his head so he'd catch her gaze. "Of course, what is it?" Estella asked, turning to him after fixing her growing bouquet.

Showcasing the gigantic rip from behind his ruana, Camilo places a finger on top of his lips, asking if she'd keep it a secret from both Mirabel and his mother since he already asked his younger cousin to patch it up just yesterday.

"Alright, alright, take it off," She sighed, already grabbing a needle and thread from one of her drawers.

Estella sat on her own bed, took Camilo's ruana, and started fixing it up for him as he sits beside her and watches her.

Caressing her long, dark, curly hair, Camilo pouts, asking, "Are you really going to cut your hair?"

Humming and clearly still hesitant about it, Estella shrugged, saying, "I'm still thinking about it."

Camilo mumbled something under his breath, his voice being a little too deep and hushed for Estella to understand.

"How short is it going to be?" He questioned, moving to her back and combing her hair with his hands as he starts tying it up.
