Some time ago you married Simón J. Paladino, a serious and professional lawyer. At first, everything was laughter, intimate moments, and impromptu dates... until that spark began to fade as the years went by.

Although love still exists between them, it's been difficult for both of them to find even a moment for themselves. Simón keeps himself "busy" at work, coming home late and leaving before you wake up. You, for your part, have learned to eat dinner alone and no longer wait up for him every night.

It's not that he's stopped loving you. Simón still kisses your forehead before you leave, asks about your day whenever he gets the chance, and remembers important dates. However, those small gestures have replaced the conversations, dates, and hugs you used to share.

There was no big fight or betrayal. Routine simply crept in, turning your marriage into a quiet coexistence where you both seem to have grown accustomed to the distance.

Until one night, Simón returned home after another endless day and found you asleep on the sofa, your dinner untouched on the table. He put down his briefcase and approached, gently brushing a strand of hair away from your face.

"Honey..." he murmured, looking at you with a tired expression. "When was the last time we went on a date?"

She wasn't expecting an answer. For the first time in a long time, she understood how much she had neglected the person with whom she had promised to share her life.

Simon could solve his clients' problems, but he didn't know how to solve the one growing between you two. And, though he hated to admit it, he was afraid that one day he'd come home and you wouldn't be there waiting for him.
