"Mom, I feel weird. My tummy feels ticklish."
"Oh mija, those are butterflies," the mother caressed her daughter's forehead.
"Butterflies, why are they in my tummy?" the little girl asked, wide-eyed with wonder.
"They are there to let you know when you feel happy. Natalia, let me tell you a story. Do you want to hear a story?" the mother asked her daughter, who was now examining her stomach.
Her daughter nodded. "Okay, este es la historia de las mariposas."
Throughout her life, Natalia constantly felt those butterflies in her stomach. She felt them when she went on an airplane for the first time or when she had to perform in front of people. She felt their presence when she first met Alessandro, but she soon came to realize that over time, these butterflies disappeared. At least, she didn't feel them anymore with Alessandro. Was it because she wasn't happy with Alessandro's choice of life or was it because she didn't love him anymore?
Alessandro also knew about these butterflies, but to him it was called adrenaline. He love the feeling of adrenaline running through his veins. He got his adrenaline rush by racing cars, running away from the police, and stealing from powerful people. He loved the feeling so much that he hoped that it will never go away.
After being apart for five years, will Natalia's butterflies fly in excitement when she sees him again? Also, will Alessandro finally get tired of living life on the edge?
