Doña's father clasped his hands together with a smile.
Doña had been waiting for this conversation.
Her whole life, there had only been one.
One boy she had been able to stand.
One man she loved.
She and her parents spoke at the same time.
Don Pedro de Valenzuela.

It was a classic situation of a girl falling in love with a boy she knew really well and who reciprocated her love and respect.
They let them play together as kids, and even though Don Pedro's family was a noble one...
He wasn't as, well, rich, is the wrong word to say, but an accurate one to think, and also to use as a basis for rejecting him to marry their little girl.
I'll never love anyone but him, Doña said.
You don't know that, honey.
