Wedding Planning and Family Dynamics

So far, she's made these two sketches for me.

They're

very beautiful.

I don't know what to tell you, they're both suitable.

I told you that dressmaker is very good and completely trustworthy.

I loved it. And, look, I think she went the extra mile because

she knows

I'm on your side.

Could be.

If you want, I can come with you next time.

Really?

Oh, Marta, I really appreciate it, honestly,

because I don't know how I'm going to decide

all this on my own.

It's a lot.

I've organized several weddings,

and I've had two of my own, so I have some experience.

Auntie, do you know when we're having dinner?

Julia, for God's sake, I didn't know you were home.

So, are you having dinner with us?

Yes, I'm staying after all.

That makes me happy, but you don't look very happy.

Come on, sweetheart, come sit with us, hmm?

Am I interrupting?

No, no, quite the opposite. In fact, look, I need your opinion

so you can tell me what you think of these two sketches.

Between the dress and the bride.

Yes, do you like them?

They're both beautiful. And you'll look gorgeous in whichever one you choose.

It's a shame I won't be able to see you.

There's still time until the wedding.

Maybe Gabriel will end up letting you attend after all.

You'll see, I'm sure he will.

Besides, you can come with me whenever you want to see

the dressmaker, hmm?

Thank you, but

I know my father isn't going to change his mind.

Especially not after what just happened.

What happened, sweetheart?

He came looking for me, and I refused to go back home.

And why did you refuse?

Because I realized he only wants to hurt you and my

grandparents. And, of course, me too, since I have the surname.

It's true that between him and the family, there's a lot of

tension.

There's hostility on his part, and he's wrong, but I will always be on

your side.

He's even dared to remove our surname from our company's

name.

I know.

And I'm very sorry you've had another disappointment.

You know?

These disappointments and disillusionments

are teaching me a lot.

It's like growing up all at once and against my will.

You see, Julia,

every age has its own things,

and sometimes skipping those stages isn't good either.

Well, don't worry, I'll be able to handle it.

But you're a very intelligent girl, and you're also showing a lot of

maturity.

I agree.

Mmm.

Do you know what comes to mind for,

for making sure we end the day on a good note?

What?

Some hot chocolate.

Oh, yes.

A good hot chocolate fixes everything, or almost everything.

Yeah.

I can ask Manuela now to make us hot chocolate for after dinner,

and we can have it with a sponge cake.

Oh, yes.
