    Summary

    Andrés’ hands are sightly trembling, but that’s not the strange thing, the time between dosages has been lessening and lessening for the past months, and frequently, Andrés would find his muscles giving away shortly before the next dosage. What’s strange is that he’s watching his own hands, open palms in front of him with bewilderment. As though he’s never seen it before. Then he mutters, “La concha de tu madre.”

    --
    The story is old; a captured child, a Palermo apartment, a candlelit monastery. A love rekindled. A gold repolished.

    The tragedy is also old.

    Summary

    MARTÍN: So tell me, how was the honeymoon? How is the new wife?
    ANDRÉS, NEWLY MARRIED: Oh, I fear that this is yet another sordid tale, for she is dead. It was poison, from what I understand.
    MARTÍN, SUDDENLY FOCUSED ON THE MANTELPIECE: How queer! Whoever might have anything against that poor, kind woman who never once crossed me?

    Summary

    Then he remembered where he was and took a good look at the man, seeing his rough appearance.

    He clutched his luggage tighter and drew himself to his full height, taking advantage of the inches he had on him.

    "If you want money I don't have any."

    The man snorted. He didn't look intimidated. "Maybe I'd believe you if you didn't look like you just stepped out of a red carpet." He spoke with a raspy and strong accent, clearly a local by the sound of it. He looked Andrés up and down. "I was told to look for a fancy gentleman in a suit, so I'm assuming you're Andrés de Fonollosa."

    "Yes, and you are?" He questioned relaxing slightly.

    The man laughed, a deep and scratchy sound from deep within his belly, flashing a cute little gap in his upper teeth on the left side. His eyes shone brightly.

    "Martín Berrote, at your service. I'm your official escort." He said, offering a hand.

    Or this is a romcom where tourist Andrés meets local guide Martín.

    Romance and trouble in paradise proceed to follow.
