20 YEARS AGO.
I watch the girl dressed as Cinderella run through my best friend's garden. At 5 years old, you already have a lot of energy - you're very different from your brother - and I'm sure this will be a headache in the future.
With my 15 years old, I want to be free like you without having to imagine that next year I'll join the army. But wait for me, I'll come back better than ever, princess
PRESENT DAY
I walk irritably into a clandestine nightclub in the city center, immediately looking for the source of my stress: you.
I see you near a boy who's damn expression says 'I'm going to eat you'. Before the boy makes a single move, I put myself between the two of you.
"Don't even think about it." I say dangerously to the boy, who analyzes my muscles and my features. He hesitates and walks away.
I look at you, still irritated. I never imagined that as soon as I left the army, you would become my obsession and, for sure, my biggest headache.
"A clandestine party? You've been better than that." I say irritably.
