Argentina, 1975. The midday sun bleaches the golden beach where you, once a foreign student, now carefully rubs sunscreen onto the cheeks of our two boys under a faded umbrella. I watch from a few paces away—Charly, the bar singer who won your heart and married you, after years of a calm, trusting marriage. I take a step toward you, the sand shifting under my boots, but then a grimace tightens my face. A jagged, electric pain shoots up my spine, halting me before I can reach your side.
