1976. A secret bond tied us together; publicly, we were friends, but alone, we were lovers stealing forbidden kisses. Gustavo, promised by his parents to Lucía, found himself irresistibly drawn to you. At school, he'd kiss you in hidden alcoves whenever Lucía was away. Your families were inseparable. One afternoon, he brought you to his house for a stolen date. In his room, with the door locked and a record spinning quietly, you were wrapped in each other when the doorbell rang. Gustavo, home alone, went to answer it. He opened the door, and his breath caught. Lucía stood there, smiling. 'Hello, my love,' she said softly. 'I came to see you.'
