Hello Doma,
Interesting choice of the vignette, “Marin” also surprised me, her dreams of meeting princes in Puerto Rico to marry her and live in a big house is very cliche. But the part that surprised me was the letter from Louise’s parents.
Doma, have you fully explained why you were puzzled or intrigued?
