At the tender age of eleven, Gin stood out not only for her physical appearance but also for her remarkable mental maturity.
As if she was born an adult.
Gin seemed to glide effortlessly through the challenges, her grace and poise drawing admiration from all who crossed her path.
Gin's innate sense of maturity captivated Ale, drawing him to her.
He saw in Gin a kindred spirit.
A soul struggling to emerge and find its place in the world. Like his.
Her quiet strength inspired him to confront his own insecurities.
He saw in her the future single woman in charge she was meant to be. She reminded him of his grandmother for her charisma.
Gin saw in Ale's grandmother a glimpse of the love and stability she also craved.
In witnessing Ale's relationship with his grandmother, she saw in Ale's vulnerability a reflection of her own, a shared longing for love and acceptance that transcended the boundaries of age and experience.
There was a certain degree of affinity between the two women. So different in age, so similar.
Gin found herself drawn to the fragile beauty of human connection, to the simple yet profound power of love to heal and transform even the most broken of souls.
She knew she would always carry the memory of Ale and his grandmother with her.
One day, for what seemed to Gin pure chance, she heard Ale's grandmother told him something that caused her a cavity in her stomach.
"Keep your distance from Geneva."
