There was no dramatic confession, no instant declaration of love, and no moment when either of them immediately knew what the future would bring.
They simply talked.
Art gave them something to discuss, and that conversation slowly became the beginning of a friendship.
Adrián was fascinated by Delia’s experience and knowledge. She had lived through decades of changes, challenges, and personal experiences that he was only beginning to understand. Delia, meanwhile, appreciated Adrián’s imagination and his unusual ability to put his feelings into words.
They began communicating through letters.
Those letters became important to both of them.
For Adrián, they were more than pieces of paper. They were memories of a friendship that had gradually become one of the most important relationships in his life.
He kept many of those letters, preserving them as reminders of the years when their connection was still young and neither of them knew where it would lead.
As time passed, their conversations became deeper.
They talked about books.
They talked about painting.
They talked about life.
They talked about their hopes and fears.
And somewhere along the way, Adrián realized that what he felt for Delia was no longer simply friendship.
