little sister. “It is a nice ring Amber,” she
chimed in joining the circle.
    Amber broke away from Eduardo’s gaze for a moment
and tried to focus on her sister. “Yah Victor wanted diamonds, but
I said no,” she cackled. “What girl doesn’t want diamonds?”
    Molly laughed along with her and Amber’s smile
collapsed within settling on her brother-in-law’s face. His
expression was grave. Good Lord, what’s wrong with this guy? Amber noticed he looked pissed off now…What the hell was wrong with
him?!
    Eduardo drank the last swig of his beer and focused
on his mother approaching wanting to dance. Good God, thank you for
the rescue!
    “Eduardo—mehiò, come dance with your Mama,” Rosalba
asked, grabbing his arm.
    Amber was suddenly left with a perplexing question.
She didn’t quite know what the doubt was, but she felt something
went terribly wrong. She looked at her sister and Molly seemed to
notice it as well. Amber’s eyes filled with water instantly.
    “Amber?”
    Amber hiked up her dress and ran away from her
sister at that moment, down the hallway and towards the ladies
room. She was cornered by one of Victor’s Aunts, Tiá Lorena.
    “Oh mehiá, you look absolutely beautiful, like a
princess! Victor must be so proud! Rosalba and Fabrizio couldn’t be
happier!”
    Amber stared at Tiá Lorena for a moment. With her
lavender polyester chiffon dress, high heels and Jackie O hair-do,
she was a sight. “Thank you,” she managed to say. But Amber was
still in a daze.
    “I’m gonna go find that husband of yours, swing him
around on the dance floor for awhile, do you mind?” Tiá Lorena
asked jovial.
    Amber smiled, spun back into consciousness. “Mind?
Will you? I’ve been dancing with him all night; my feet are
beginning to hurt,” she laughed, jiggling her feet around in her
shoes.
    Tiá Lorena kissed Amber’s cheek and off she went.
Amber watched her as she melted in through the crowd of other
dancers. On the horizon, she spotted Eduardo gyrating to the dance
beat. He was dancing with Molly, hugging her near and moving her
around skillfully. Her older sister was a big flirt, a little too
accommodating sometimes, but Amber knew Molly would make a good
match for her brother-in-law. They had a lot in common. Molly used
to be a song leader, she was very popular; Eduardo and Molly were
used to grabbing all the attention. But the more she watched them
dance, the more Amber became covetous. The panorama made her
freeze, envious for some reason. She was resentful… why? He’s
nothing, nobody, just my new brother-in-law. I hope he gets
together with my sister; they’d make a good pair. They
would…Really...Then they could get married, we could do things
together, all four of us. That would be fun…It would be wonderful,
great…Fantastic…yep…the four of us…together… the four of us…Dammit!
Then why does that make me so God damn jealous?

Four
    Why Do Birds Suddenly Appear?
     
    Anniversaries can be wonderful and romantic, but
when you’re practical and handy like The Family, Rosalba and
Fabrizio decided that for their 26 th wedding anniversary
they’d like their immediate family to go away, for the brothers to
get together and spend some quality time.
    Fabrizio loved to fish and suggested Cachuma Lake in
the Redwood Mountains just above Santa Barbara, California. Several
hundred campsites quietly located within forest territory, Cachuma
Lake was surrounded by captivating mountains, blue skies, and fresh
air and encompassed campgrounds that accommodated recreational
vehicles and boats. The grounds even had barbecue pits and picnic
tables. Amber loved all the amenities too: hot showers, general
store, coin laundry, swimming pool and miniature golf area. It was
a wide-open territory full of activity. The Family chose a cliff
side campsite overlooking the lake; it was magnificent there with a
serene ridge and plush forest setting as its backdrop, it was the
perfect spot for The Family among
