[Luisa isn't the first person to talk to her about it, and though it's a sting to do it she won't turn her cousin away. Dolores lingers at the door she just closed for a moment or two, then she shakes her head and forces a smile.]
It's going to be strange without her around, no?
[She isn't sure if anyone really knows how close she and Isabela are. How much Dolores' hearing had let her understand about her 'perfect' cousin.]
[ Luisa knew somewhat how close her sister and cousin had been, even if she didn't know all of it. She had spent plenty of times feeling left out when the two older girls had done stuff with out her, being too young to join in some of their games and talks.
But she at least realizes that Dolores probably knows Isabela better than she or Mirabel had...and in that same vein, Isabela is probably the one who knows Dolores best too.
So she can't help but frown a little at her cousin's smile, knowing that it wasn't as real as she tried to make it seem. ]
That's true. She's safe at home...but that doesn't mean it'll hurt any less that she's not here anymore.

But it's... fine, isn't it? She's at home now.

It...doesn't have to be fine.
