Pardalita

When Raquel begins telling her story, Pardalita has already entered her life. She didn’t enter suddenly, but rather slowly and subtly, first in the school halls and then in drama rehearsals.

Raquel only knows her by sight, but she’s always hoping to see her again and begins to notice little details, like how the tag on Pardalita’s jumper touches the skin on her neck.

Raquel wonders: “How far away can you be from someone without them noticing you don’t want any distance at all”?
