Natalia
Today is my grandparents anniversary, so all my local relatives are showing up for a small family party at their house. I invited Alex to go with me, and he picked me up. As he parks in front of my grandparents house, I can see how nervous he is.
I get out of the car and wait for him to do so. I look at him and smile, reassuring him that he will be okay. He relaxes, smiling back at me as he walks beside me. "It smells really good!" He says. "Yeah, they are grilling."
I open the door and hear the loud sounds of music, laughter and conversations.
"Ah, Nati (Natee) is here!" My grandma shouts as soon as she sees me, and everyone who hears her turn their attention to me… to us.
