Something breaks across Alejandro’s face, but he does not let it fall. He looks at his sister as if seeing her from a distance for the first time.
“Men like me?” he repeats.
Regina realizes too late that she has said too much.
“I meant wealthy men,” she says quickly.
“No,” Alejandro says. “You meant disabled men.”
The room goes completely still.
You feel the weight of his words settle into every corner of the mansion.
Regina opens her mouth, but no sound comes.
Alejandro turns to the nearest guard. “Bring the house manager.”
The guard moves instantly.
Regina’s expression hardens. “Don’t you dare turn this into a spectacle.”
“You turned it into a spectacle when you threw Carmen’s work onto my floor.”
“Our floor,” Regina snaps.
Alejandro looks at her.
A faint smile touches his mouth, but it carries no warmth.
“No. My floor.”
Her face drains.
He turns toward you.
“Carmen,” he says, his voice softening, “please sit down.”
You cannot.
