He hit me. I fell. Everything went dark. How did you survive? Sara looked at Martín, who continued the story. I had returned to the house that night.
I forgot my gardening tools. I saw Gonzalo’s car outside and something seemed off.
I went in through the back door and found Sara on the floor. She was still breathing.
Gonzalo was in the living room putting the gun in Ramiro’s hands while he was asleep. He didn’t see him. He was too engrossed in his thoughts. I got Sara out through the kitchen window.
I took her to my mother’s house. That same night I drove for four hours straight. When we arrived, she woke up. Sara spoke again.
Martin saved my life, but when I learned that Ramiro had been arrested, I wanted to return immediately.
Martín stopped me. Why? Because Gonzalo had contacts in the police and the prosecutor’s office.
If I had turned up alive, they would have truly eliminated me. Salomé too. Gonzalo had seen her that night hiding in the hallway. He knew she was a witness.
