Josefina must have seen the concern in my expression. She twisted until she was sitting with her bare feet in the pool water and looking in my direction. “They left before I was out of the cabin. Jorge told me that something happened last night, and they were both needed on the mainland." My empty stomach twisted. She feigned a smile. “Did you bring a bathing suit? If not, I'm sure I have one that could fit you." “I did." I looked around. The ocean went on in every direction for as far as I could see. “Is Patrόn concerned?" I hoped using the term I'd heard Catalina use was acceptable. “Is he with them?" “He's not alarmed." She stood and walked to me until she was out of the pool and on dry travertine. “What my sons do is not safe, but they're very good. Jano will come back to you."
