Chapter 14 - I RETURN TO THE TERRACE
I avoided the terrace for almost two years.
Then Mateo asked me to watch a meteor shower.
Of course it had to be there.
I stood inside the doorway.
He ran outside.
“Sofía!”
“I’m coming.”
“You’re standing still.”
“I’m aware.”
Nicolás came beside me.
“You don’t have to.”
That was exactly why I did.
I stepped outside.
The railing had been replaced during renovations.
Not because it failed.
Because Nicolás hated looking at it.
We stood beneath the night sky.
Mateo pointed upward every time he imagined something moved.
Then a real meteor crossed.
He screamed:
“I SAW IT!”
I laughed.
And suddenly realized I was standing within three feet of the place Leonor had thrown me over.
My hands were not shaking.

That did not mean everything was healed.
It meant something had.
