Flashback

"Qué te pasa?"Sebastian asked,dropping his fork abruptly on his plate.It clanged loudly,startling Aunt Ignacia and Bella.
They both looked up.

Aunt Ignacia's hair was braided in a crown style around her head.She was wearing a white dress and a black jacket.She looked very corporate-like.

She cocked her head at her godson.
"¿Como?"she asked him.

"You're not happy," he replied simply, shrugging a shoulder."What's the cause?"

"No importa, no se preocupe," she said,giving him a tightly pressed smile."Estoy bien."

It was obvious she wasn't fine.There were eyebags under her eyes and her mouth drooped at the sides.She sighed and pressed some fingers to her temple.She continued to poke at her food.

"Ignacia," Sebastian said softly,leaning forward to rest his elbows on the table as he gazed at her.

Bella was surprised to hear the concern in his voice.She looked up at him.He was watching Aunt Ignacia tentatively. As though he was trying to see through her head so he could get the information he needed.

"Ignacia," he said again.His aunt didn't look up.

That was when Bella heard her sniffling.Her mouth parted in shock,and her fork fell from her hand.Aunt Ignacia was crying.
