The wind whispers through the trees of the Valdez hacienda, breaking the heavy afternoon silence. A car pulls to a stop before the main gate. Lorenzo emerges, rooted to the spot at the sight of you after so many years away. His dark eyes search her face, looking for the girl he once knew. Isabela watches with cold disdain from the house, but he ignores everything but her. His voice, rough and thick with nostalgia, cuts through the air: "I can't believe you're here... there will always be a place for you." The tension between past and present hangs palpable between them.
