"Why are you here?" Ander questioned Reina, who was frantically pulling herself away from his arms.
"I was just leaving," she replied briskly, anger coloring her voice. She took a step forward but appeared to wobble in her heels – was she drunk?
"Reina! Come on, wait up," Christian called out as he approached her and Ander.
"What's going on, Christian?" Ander asked.
"Maybe you can get Reina to calm down," Christian said, glancing at her worriedly.
"Shut up, Christian. I don't need to calm down," Reina insisted, pushing away a stray lock of hair from her face impatiently. "I just need to get out of here."
Christian switched his focus to Ander, telling him, "She's had a lot to drink, and she just had an argument with her father back there."
"Her father's here too?" Ander's forehead crinkled in further confusion.
He thought he'd stepped away from his friends for just a while, but it looked like he'd missed a hell of a lot in that short span of time.
"Don't even mention him, please. He's a fucking asshole," Reina announced. "And I'm going now. Goodbye."
"Hold on. Are you headed home, Reina? Do you have a ride?" Ander questioned.
"Luis is parked at the entrance, waiting for me." Reina exhaled loudly and threw Ander a scowl. "Now are we done with all the questions?"
"I'll follow you to the car," Ander decided. Despite the hurt and other less-than-positive feelings he currently had toward Reina, he still wanted to ensure her safety.
"Yeah, that's a good idea," Christian said. "She's all yours, man."
Reina shook her head, her eyes narrowed into furious slits. "I don't need anyone to look out for me. I'm fine and perfectly capable of walking to my car on my own."
"Let's just go, okay?" Ander gently touched Reina's wrist and hoped she wouldn't lash out against him. He would like to get this over with and move on to.. other agendas for the night.
Reina rolled her eyes but allowed Ander to take her hand as they started making their way to the exit, leaving Christian behind.
"I don't get why you and all these damn Las Encinas people keep appearing wherever I go," she complained in annoyance.
"I could say the same about you," Ander replied dryly. "This is a party thrown by Guzmán's and Marina's parents and the wine cave is owned by Carla's mother. How in the world did you get invited?"
"I don't know. My father has some business with Guzmán's and Marina's father or something," Reina provided the answer with obvious disinterest.
