Blossoming bonds amidst secrets
Barbara, findin' herself insatiable curiosity, heads to the barn to talk to Leonardo. The weight on her shoulders, she confesses, is di' observin' whether Leonardo let the cat outta the bag to Don Hernando 'bout what went down between 'em. "Bro, I'm straight-up apologetic, but I had to let him in on why I'm hustlin' my ass off here. I wanted him to know it's all 'bout you, cobber," she says, tuggin' at Leonardo's heartstrings.
"G'day, love. Your Ole Man doesn't hide his disdain when he ain't impressed," Leonardo responds with a chuckle, but he's wrong 'bout that—Leonardo's actions have left a positive impression on Don Hernando.

Leonardo, thinkin' he's won this round, beams with pride, but Don Hernando dangles two phrases that snap Leonardo outta his daze: "That's all you're keepin', lad. Take it with ya when ya return to Court."
Leonardo refuses to give up. "I'm not headin' back to Court, same as I ain't losin' Valle Salvaje. I can make my own choices now, and I've chosen you, Barbara."
