"I won't come back, don't even count on it. I've made the decision never to set foot in your place again. I don't deserve to be treated this way. It doesn't matter that you had nothing to do with it, she'll keep going and I refuse to undergo her relentlessness. Am I then guilty of my own mother's death? I didn't ask to be born. And don't take my words for ingratitude. I'm simply saying the truth. I'm profoundly bruised by her disappearance, but you know full well I had nothing to do with it. I too would have liked to turn back the clock to save mom, but it's impossible. I would have so much liked to know her affection and share those unique moments of mother-daughter complicity, but that will never happen. I nevertheless want you to know that despite everything, I cherish those few minutes, this time my aunt was willing to grant me, for I found good sides to her despite everything. Except that today, everything shatters and reveals this mask I never would have imagined seeing fall.""

"I know, I had an issue. I couldn't come because of that... I'll try to explain to him if I manage to have luck on my side," she admitted, deflating her cheeks.The other girl hugged her."Alright, later you can tell me what happened, what kept you from coming early. I hope everything goes well, and hurry up. If you want, I'll wait for you here. I'm not in much of a hurry to go home. In fact, I have the rest of the day off, so we can chat for a bit. What do you think?""I'd be fine with that, but don't feel obligated. You can leave if you want, Penelope," she added. The girl shook her head."No way, it's no trouble at all. I'll wait for you here. Go on," she urged.She smiled.She had already set off toward her boss's office, trying to stay calm and control the nervousness that was now gripping her entire system. It felt like a snake trying to rob her of all her oxygen. Even when she placed her hands on the knob of that dark door, she felt the pressure growing stronger, and she pleade

The two of them talked a little longer before the young woman convinced her friend that she needed to eat, though Alicia flatly refused to have lunch. She claimed she didn't want to live, that she had no appetite and it wasn't worth existing anymore, but Hope repeated to her over and over that life was full of curveballs and everything depended on how people handled changing circumstances. This bad moment was just one of many, but she knew life still held good moments for her to live out. She shouldn't give up now, but rather fight. Besides, she still had her father, who also needed her support and affection, and she reminded Alicia how much she loved her. They ended up crying together, swept away by an avalanche of emotions and sensations scattered in their hearts that could no longer beat the same way—nothing was the same."You just don't understand, Mom was everything to me, no matter how she behaved. She was an important part of my life, and now that she's gone, I miss her too muc

"And who told you I have to consider myself a maid to do a good deed? I prepared it with a lot of love for you; try it, I know you're going to love it," she encouraged as she handed her the dish she had lovingly made. Alicia appreciated the gesture her friend had shown toward her, allowing her access to the room and even inviting her to eat with her, though Hope declined because the portion was meant for one person and she wanted Alicia to eat it all, otherwise she'd get upset."This is so delicious, I've always known you're great at this. Dad should hire you.""As far as I know, Carolina is very good in the kitchen. Just the other day she made a meal and it turned out exquisite. She knows a lot of things and techniques, and I barely manage," she admitted."Sure, you do it better than me. It's true that Carolina knows a lot; she always has something good to offer. I don't know... haven't you thought about being a professional cook or chef?" Alicia asked her.She wrinkled her brow and

Thus the months passed; instead of straightening out, things continued down the same crooked path they had followed from the beginning. Two months hadn't been enough to make them give up this madness of being together. Since that night, nothing else had happened beyond that passionate kiss that had sweetened their souls.As the weeks went by, Alicia began to overcome the loss of her mother. There were moments of deeper sadness when she slipped back into a bottomless pit, but her friend was always there to offer a hand and pull her out of that dark place. On the other hand, she still hadn't told her about the lawyer and what she shared with him. The truth was, she felt a strong urge to tell her that she already knew, but she always held back because she knew it wouldn't be right. She continued working at the coffee shop, and things were going better. Mr. Salvador had given her a raise—not a huge amount, but at least she no longer had to borrow money from Ashton.She had been visiting v
