Her Greatest Love Affair
On her death bed, Jennifer's thoughts don't dwell on her husband, despite several decades of marriage and two children together.
It's Mateo she remembers instead. Jennifer was only meant to spend three days in Barcelona, but she switched out her ticket and let her friends travel on to Italy without her.
She remembers Mateo's laugh, and the way he mispronounced her name in the cutest way. She remembers the passion when they made love in his flat beneath the open window.
It was only two weeks, but that was enough time to know Mateo was the love of her life.
