“My fear didn't want to be left behind, so it came with me.”
María Dueñas, The Time in Between

“Y descubrí también, con la más inmensa desazón, que en cualquier momento y sin causa aparente, todo aquello que creemos estable puede desajustarse, desviarse, torcer su rumbo y empezar a cambiar.”
María Dueñas, El tiempo entre costuras

“Normality wasn't in the days I'd left behind me: it was only to be found in whatever fortune placed in my path each morning.”
Maria Duenas
