As he left the factory, he noticed that Hortensia took the same route: the 76 bus from Villa Española, and then the 125 to Cerro.
—Look, Hortensia. That dark-haired guy with big eyes is completely mesmerized by you, and he’s always eager to get on the bus and sit with you —her friend joked.
Her friend played matchmaker. She stood up and gave León her seat. The gesture soon became a habit. León and Hortensia talked on every ride—about everything: movies, politics, music, and especially about Carlos, León’s son.
