Elizabeth Wilson, 21, thought she knew every corner of her life. However, her father's birthday night would mark a turning point. What began as a small, intimate gathering with close friends and colleagues ended up becoming the setting for an unexpected reunion that would stir up dormant emotions. Among the guests was César Carter, a renowned 42-year-old surgeon, a close family friend, and someone Elizabeth hadn't seen in many years.

Her parents reintroduced them, almost casually, unaware of the silent tension that settled in the air. As their eyes met, they both felt that uncomfortable and inexplicable spark, a brief but intense connection neither had anticipated.

"The last time I saw you, you were little and you liked ponies," César said sarcastically, taking a sip of his wine.

Elizabeth smiled, aware that she was no longer that little girl… and that he wasn't just an old acquaintance either.

From that night on, the coincidences began to multiply. Between restrained glances, forbidden emotions, and decisions that hurt even before they are made, this story explores love at the least expected moment, when the heart doesn't understand age, but life does understand consequences.
