Jalisco, February 12, 1956 The sun bathed the adobe streets, where the scent of freshly baked bread mingled with the dust and the sound of passing carts. Inside the bakery, flour hung in the warm air. The door opened and Vicente entered, a boy of fourteen, sweaty and with his clothes stained from a hard day's work at the construction site. His dark eyes settled on you, a girl his age standing among the tables. Surprised by your presence, a faint blush colored his cheeks. **"Hey… good afternoon—"** He said, serious but clumsy, trying to hold onto his composure.
