The images were blurry, but finally, it was all coming back to her.
She saw him, her father, and what was he doing...
"Dad?" Valeria called out. "Dad, what are you doing?"
She asked again, wondering what the old man was up to. He was burying something...no. He was hiding it.
Inside a...box?
"Dad, what are you doing?" She asked again, making her voice louder.
Then, all of a sudden, this man stopped and face Valeria with eyes gleaming with rage. "Get out! Get out of here! Now!"
Her eyes flung open as she gasped in fear. The air around her was choking and there was a lump in her throat.
"Mommy, you're okay!" Cried a voice she was familiar with.
Nothing in her path shone light until she squinted hard, then opened her eyes to find Dali and Jose before her.
She squeezed them into a tight hug. "Oh my babies, I've missed you so much."
They remained like that for a while until James cleared his throat.
