Chapter 17

• Isadora's POV
• As I prepare in the bathroom, butterflies run amuck in my stomach. I've never been to a ball before. What do l do? How do l act? So many questions and never enough answers. I finish and walk out to see Rafael in a navy blue tux. His hair slicked back and his tattoos peaking on the skin he does have visible damn he looks god. When he sees me his jaw drops. He doesn't move nor speak .. he just stands there, scanning me over and over as if to determine whether I'm real or not.
• "Madre de dios." (Mother of God) He mutters to himself but I hear him and giggle. I slowly approach him and he pulls me lightly to his chest, putting his forehead on mine.
