" I'm back! , just in time for dinner, I see " Willow said as she put her bag down. " How was work, Mija ?" Camilla asked." It was great, Ummm, did you see Luz today ?" Willow asked as Amity set the table. " Ummm, well, she came to get a glass of water but besides that..." Amity replied with sorrow. " Well, that's something," Willow said with hope. " I'll be back in 5 minutes, I'm going to check on Luz" Willow said as she walked away.

Willow opens Luz's door room to find her writing in a journal with books surrounding her desk like a barrier. Willow goes inside and stares behind Luz as she's sitting. " Luz your mom and Amity are preparing some delicious food. Are you going to come and eat?" " Well yeah, but I'm going to eat here. I need to finish this work." Luz answered in a dull voice. By work, Luz meant her interdimensional travel research of course.

Willow replied in a sweet and concerned voice " Luz, we miss you. Could you please join us today? It would make everyone so happy, Please?" Willow left the room and headed back to eat." Well, five more minutes and the filing should be done. Then the tacos should be ready to serve," Camila said. Amity knew how important these Carne De Res tacos were. When Luz was little, she, and her dad would make flavorful beef tacos.

During the times when Mrs. Noceda was feeling down. Camilla knew that Luz and her dad poured so much love into this recipe. She hoped it would help Luz open up, or at least help her smile. Amity, Willow, and Vee sat at the dinner table, waiting for the food to be served. Footsteps come in, but it isn't Hunter or Gus, it's Luz! The chatter among the three stops, momentarily, but continues. Luz sits beside Amity, being as quiet as possible.

As the chatter goes on, Amity glides her hand over her girlfriend's scar, checking to see if it has healed. Luz grips Amity's hand tightly as she lays her hands on Luz's lap under the table. Amity could feel the release of tension from Luz's fingers when holding her hand. Amity could tell that her girlfriend was nervous about joining the rest of them for dinner.

At least holding her hand helped Luz feel less agitated, Amity thought. " Food's done," Camila said as she placed the covered tray on the dining table. " Sorry we're late," Hunter says as he and Gus quickly, grab their seats.
