While Maria had been shunned by the rest of the family, Antonella had quietly wished otherwise. She hadn't seen the whole fault in the issue, and had just wanted to spend time with her sister. She had wished that there had been something she could've done, but her own loyalities to the family as a whole held her back for some time. Once Maria was essentially cast out, their time together shrunk and eventually turned to nothing; that had probably been one of the hardest things for Antonella to deal with.
But, that was all done with, over and in the past. She happily returned her sister's embrace, glad to have her back in her life. It may have taken a little bit of a journey, but it was all worth it just for this moment. Once Maria pulled away from her somewhat, the most likely of questions began. "Ho seguito Giuseppe." she explained, grinning. It had seemed like the most logical way to find Maria, as he was after her as well and probably had a better idea of whereabouts than she did. She had never had a strong opinion of Giuseppe, and following him was probably a little risky for her, but thankfully it had worked and they were together again.
"Ma, come lei è stato?" she promptly asked, eager to hear about Maria and a little uninterested in chatting about herself. That was boring anyway.
