Adrián swallowed hard.
“I won’t be.”
Years later, Mateo would never remember that first day.
The fear.
The tears.
The uncertainty.
He would only remember this:
A mother who never let go.
A father who learned how to stay.
And a grandfather who walked back into a broken story… and helped make it whole again.
And Lucía?
She never forgot.
Not the pain.
Not the betrayal.
Not the strength it took to stand alone.
But she also never forgot something else—
That sometimes, life doesn’t give you perfect endings.
It gives you second chances.
And what you do with them…
Is what defines everything.
