When Trujillo pulls Minerva inappropriately close during their dance and thrusts at her in a vulgar way, she slaps his face.
The rain begins immediately, and the party moves quickly inside. The Mirabals rush off.
The Mirabal family left the party before Trujillo did, which is against the law. Two guardias arrive at their house and say that Governor de la Maza wants to see Enrique Mirabal and Minerva immediately.
