Chapter 28 - CHAPTER 27

Meanwhile, Antonio and Gina have just arrived at his grandmother's house. They are shown into the sitting room. His grandparents come soon after. Claudia looks at Gina. Antonio makes the introductions. They proceed to the dining room. Claudia asks Gina questions, about her life, and childhood. Gina tells her the same story, they have been repeating since they started living with the Ortiz's. Juan Patricio finds Gina familiar but cannot quite put a finger on it. What is it about her? There is something about her that puts him on edge. Claudia watches Gina and listens clearly to her answers. Claudia (to herself) says that for someone who grew up in a small town, she has a sort of sophisticated way about her. Still, Gina does not have the kind of family background and breeding she wanted for Antonio. Who knows where she came from?
