Hehehe, from what I remember most of the town folks in my world are too used to be very gossipy around the clock that not trying to be one seems to be a hard thing to do for them. The fact that my entire family managed to keep certain personal stuff to ourselves for long periods of time might have been a great advantage in some cases.

That is very understandable, Alberto. Being able to confide things to close relations is quite important. I had to keep my feelings and dreams locked up for the sake of trying to live up to people’s expectations that it would often crush me figuratively until Mirabel reached out to me following that wild dinner with our neighbors.
