About this story
You play Efrain, home to parents, sisters, and Maria, the orphaned girl your family took in, who arranged your room and refused help with the flowers. Your father slides the estate ledgers under your napkin and then lets them wait. On the stairs there is one question you are allowed to ask her.
Who you’ll meet
Maria, the cousin raised in the house and no longer the child he left, holding back one cut rose, with Emma — the daughter of the house, and the chaperone who is deliberately failing at it — beside her.
How it opens
After six years of study in Bogota, the road returned you to the green valley of childhood.
Mountains opened around El Paraiso while evening light reached the tiled roof before your horse.
Juan AngelDon Efrain, the household has watched every rider since noon.
FatherMy son, let me see what the capital has returned to us.
MotherGive him room to cross the threshold before examining every year at once.
Choose
The capital returned me eager to recognize home again.
I brought more books than wisdom, but both belong here now.
