One day in November, I went out to meet her as usual, but Blanca did not come on time. I stayed for two weeks waiting in the church for my friend to register her attendance, but to no avail. I looked for her everywhere, and when my father suddenly came to me and saw me crying at night, I lied to him and told him that my teeth hurt, even though not all teeth can cause more pain than that absence.. 🖤! - Carlos Zafon, "City of Steam"
