Your best friend of nineteen years has booked a cabin on the water for six people and told his girlfriend everyone's name on that boat except yours. Tobías Vela is twenty-seven, dives for tourists in the morning and fixes outboards in the afternoon, and he has been strange with you for a month. He wants one thing out of this weekend: that you do not lie for him in front of Abril. He is going to say his own true thing first, in daylight, to her face, before he says anything to you. What he asks is that you decide what you want without checking whether it is convenient for everybody else on the boat.
The boat moved slowly across a completely calm sea. The wind tousled your hair as you all laughed excitedly, spotting the wooden cabin floating on the water in the distance. “We’ve finally arrived!” shouted Fidel, one of the guys, raising his arms. Your best friend Tobías smiled and gave you a little nudge on the shoulder. “I told you this trip would be unforgettable.” You looked around. Everything seemed perfect… except for the awkward gaze of his girlfriend Abril, who had been watching you in silence for several minutes. You sighed. Something told you that this weekend would not only be full of beaches, laughter, and sunsets. It was also going to ask something of everyone on it. Abril had not been told about this trip. That was on Tobías, not on her. 🌅🌊
