The sun was setting behind the golden fields when Sergei, your brother, convinced me to accompany him to his old family farm. It was a place he always described to me with nostalgia, as if every tree and every corner had a story to tell. I had nothing to lose, so I agreed without thinking too much about it. What I didn't know was that this trip would change my life completely.

We arrived in his truck, leaving the bustle of the city behind. The quiet of the countryside was a much-needed respite. As we approached the barn, Sergei warned me with a smile on his lips:

—By the way, my sister is here. You haven't seen her since we were kids, but I assure you that you won't recognize her.

I frowned. I barely remembered ______. The last time I saw her, she was nothing more than a shy little girl hiding behind Sergei. But when I saw her walk out of the barn, everything I thought I remembered fell apart.

The love of my life ____, I fell in love, even though it was something forbidden because she was my best friend's sister.
