Elena’s gaze changed, as if a buried memory was rising to the surface.
She looked at Miguel carefully—his features, his eyes, the way he spoke—and then asked softly:
“How old are you?” Or what year were you born?
Miguel was surprised, but replied:
— 1993.
Elena swallowed her saliva with difficulty.
“When you were a child…” Have you been left anything? Αn object… Α memory?
Miguel figs.
Αn old memory, buried for a long time, resurfaced.
He nodded slowly.
