The morning light streamed through the window, painting the room in soft hues as Ava danced through her morning routine. She had a skip in her step, a joyful song on her lips. Tonight, she was going to have dinner with Ben, her boyfriend. She felt an anticipation that shimmered like a heat haze.

Ben arrived, and as soon as he spoke, she felt thrown. He was speaking in her first language.

Ava gasped, a hand flying to her mouth. She could only laugh.

“¿Por qué estás tan sorprendida?” Ben asked, smiling. “Why are you so surprised?”

She felt a rush of warmth, a feeling of light headedness.
