𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐥 when Carla's voice broke, revealing her accusation towards Polo to be a lie. The three Villada womens' hands were clasped tightly together in comfort, Charisma's mothers' tighter than her own hold, when the news was cherished, releasing their worry. Her moms' embraced the other and hushed their cheerful cries while the judge deemed the verdict of Polo's innocence and closure of service.
While people began to file out of the court, Charisma casually glanced over her shoulder. Her eyes were still shielded by her glasses but it didn't stop them from meeting Guzman's. She could see rage swirling in his blue eyes, enticed with pain and defeat from his sisters' lack of justice. All she wanted to do was go over and take him into her embrace, in order to comfort and soothe his pain; and part of her believed maybe he'd let her; but instead he shook his head, answering her silent thoughts and angrily thrashed out of the room.
Polo centered their family's circle, his mothers' tightly wrapping their arms around him as tears pierced their happy eyes. Charisma couldn't help the tension and anger she felt towards her brother and no matter how had she had wished he'd get what was coming to him, whether he did or didn't commit murder, she felt relief that he was actually coming home tonight.
From the moment they sprang from the womb, the Villada children were attached at the hip, Polo being the overbearing and protective brother until that very night. He had tried to mend his relationship with Charisma but his younger sister wouldn't budge, and the harder he tried, the farther she pushed him away. It surprised them both when their mothers' let go of their son and right after, Charisma sprung her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly.
Both twins knew her gesture wasn't an act for the remaining crowd, her heart truly was relieved.
The two parted, Chari giving a half smile and clasping her hands together while Cayetana used Polo's freedom to cry and hug him tightly. Polo's hands wrapped around Cayetana and he rested his chin on her shoulder, while she rubbed his back and muttered sweet nothings of relief into his ear. The entire time her lips pressed to his ear, his eyes remained locked upon Carla who stood by herself, watching the exchange until she looked at Samuel, her body slouching in sadness and defeat.
Pulling away from Cayetana, Polo gave his girlfriend an awkward smile while Valerio joined the group, his hand going to Polo's shoulder, tapping it in comfort. "So," Valerio cooed and rocked on his heels, wrapping his arms around the two twins to push them together into a group hug, "I say we party tonight, you know, celebrate?"
Sliding from Valerio's grasp, Polo ignored his friends' and mothers' call, stalking out of court in a hurry. They all watched with confused expressions and Cayetana moved to follow after him but Charisma reached for her wrist. The short haired blonde shot daggers at her boyfriends' sister and tried to continue to follow but Chari tightened her hold on her until the girl squealed.
