Simón was very distracted today, he didn't know what was going on with him lately. He's been different the last few weeks. He doesn't really know the exact cause of his behavior. But ever since he saw Ámbar walk into the Jam & Roller today, he was more in his mind than focusing on his work. He has no idea why, he's been looking for any possible cause, he can't find one.

He started acting differently a few weeks ago, he didn't know exactly when. But ever since his talk with Ámbar, he was feeling different somehow. He remembers every detail of the conversation. He never remembered a conversation as well as this one.

She stayed late on the rink, until it was time to close. She didn't even know how long she has been on the rink, she didn't know she was there for hours. He found this odd, she also seemed sad to him. At first, he didn't know what to do but figured that she needed someone to talk to you. So he went to ask her what was wrong. She didn't want to answer at first, but she had to tell someone, even if it would be Simón. She was hoping that he would be pretending that this conversation never happened after it happened. She even asked him and he agreed.

She told him about her godmother and how she's been treating her. Ever since Sharon told her she was Sol, she was more anxious than usual. Ámbar also thought that she was more controlling than usual. She was even acting a little bossy towards her cousin. She wasn't allowed to ask questions, when she did. She got a vague answer. She wasn't supposed to show that she was happy to have heard this news.

Simón felt bad for her, he didn't even want to imagine what it's like there in her mansion. It was just too awful. She did say that there was a good side at finding out the truth, she found her grandfather. She was very happy about that, he was so nice. She couldn't believe that he was Sharon's father. They grew closer once the truth came out. She always felt that something wasn't right in her life. Now, she found the reason why. She was glad to finally find herself.

It felt like a heavy weight lifted from her shoulders when she told Simón what was going on. He comforted her, he hugged her. He said that everything would be okay. She really showed her vulnerable side to him, she never did that with anyone. From that moment on, he knew that there is a really great person inside, she just doesn't show it. Probably because of her godmother.

She even cried that night, he held her until they were no more tears left to fall. They shared an amazing moment back then.

After that, he started looking at her differently. He now saw a beautiful girl where he used to see a mean, spiteful person. She also looked more beautiful to him, he noticed how perfect her make-up and clothes were. He noticed every detail that had to do with her. He was surprised that this was happening to him. He didn't fully understand the situation and his changed feelings.

Even though, he doesn't want to say it out loud. He had to admit that every time he saw her, something was fluttering in his stomach. He didn't know what it was. Everything is so different right now, he can't explain how it happened.

He's been thinking about this all day, wondering what is happening. But he's not sure he wants to find the answer.

He'd rather stay confused than finding out the truth. Because he's scared of what that truth might be.

Then, suddenly. It hit him like a lightning bolt. He suddenly knew what was happening, what he was feeling. He wishes he didn't but there's nothing he can do about it now. He's too far gone or let's just says he's too in love to ignore it.

He can't believe he just admitted that to himself. Simón is in love with Ámbar and there's nothing he can do to change that.

Then his mind starts to wonder if she feels the same way. They haven't talked since that night a few weeks ago. He starts thinking that it might be time, even if there's a chance he won't get the answer he's hoping for. At least he tried, either way. He'll get closure and if it's necessary, he'll be able to move on. He'll be able to forget her. Maybe then, he can pretend that nothing ever happened between them. That way, it will be easier on his heart.
