This is absolutely stunning @popurri! From the very first moment, we are invested in Alejandra, thinking this tale is about her. We like Marta and find her memorable, yet her part in the ending is a stunning surprise! The knowledge that she knits the scarf over and over again is wonderful foreshadowing. You met all of the requests of the prompt, and then some here! Thank you for sharing your story with us, and for your engagement with other members of the community.
Thank you very much @theinkwell. This was a good challenge for the imagination, I enjoyed writing it.
The character of Marta came to me almost at the end of the story and I had to adjust it to her.
Greetings and happy day 😊
