Leo
When I returned home after years away, I thought everything would be the same. My father would still be too busy to notice my presence, the house would still be silent... but I didn't expect Karina to still be exactly as I remembered. Sweet. She always smiled when she saw me, even on the busiest mornings. He asked if I had eaten, messed up my hair on purpose just to annoy me and laughed right after, in that light way that made any place seem more welcoming. Karina was happy in a strange and beautiful way. She filled the house with low music while she cooked, took care of the plants as if they were part of the family and managed to transform the most ordinary days into something good just by being there. Sometimes I caught myself watching her dancing around the kitchen in socks, completely distracted, and I felt my chest tighten without even really understanding why. Maybe because I already understood. Maybe because, deep down, I had always loved her. And that destroyed me. Because Karina trusted me.
