ISABELLA GARCIA “Congratulations!” Echoed in the room as soon as Cleo walked in. Cleo jerked, too startled. She rested her hand on her chest, trying to calm her raging heart. I was laughing, filled with joy and admiration for my sister. One week on the job and shs was getting featured already? That was huge! Cleo closed her eyes and bent forward, her hand resting on her knee. “Jesus,” she whispered, shocked “Congratulations,” Marco told her, placing his hand on her back. He helped her to stand up. Enzo was at the other side of the room, answering a call. He tucked his phone in his pocket and came to meet me at our table. “Congratulation, Cleo,” Enzo said. “Why would you guys do this?” Cleo asked. Her eyes shifted from one person to the next. I was still smiling. “Becasue we love you and are proud of you,” I said, stating the obvious. Her question had even tickled me. I had chuckled before answering her. “I didn't ask anybody to do this for me!” Cleo cried, offended.
