But what happened next stunned him. For illustrative purposes only Lucía didn’t go near the table. Instead, she walked over and gently draped a blanket over his shoulders. Then, in a voice barely above a whisper, she sighed, “I wish I weren’t so alone…” She picked up the gold watch—not to steal it, but to…
At first, Alejandro barely noticed her. But one cold night, as he sat alone by the fireplace, he heard a soft humming echoing from the hallway. It was Lucía, singing an old lullaby—one of those nostalgic tunes grandmothers used to hum before bedtime. Something about her voice reached deep into him. That night, for the…

When my husband opened it, his mother was standing there — drunk, barely on her feet, slurring her words, her eyes unfocused. She mumbled something incoherent, walked past us, and without saying a word, lay down right on our bed, among the rose petals, and immediately fell asleep. I stood there in shock. My husband…

Reins was in the middle of a story about a broken prop and a bad landing when his gaze dropped to my left forearm. The sleeve of my dress whites didn’t reach my elbow. The small tattoo there—ink I’d gotten in a moment when youth and loyalty outvoted regulation—peeked like a secret that had learned…
