Replying...
Intro. After the birth of our first child, the house changed. The days became fuller, the nights shorter, and the routine began to revolve around care, schedules and constant tiredness. It was at this point that we decided to hire a young nanny. She came from the countryside. Simple in her speech, delicate in her gestures, with a quiet manner that seemed to slow down the environment just by entering the room. Nothing about her was exaggerated—not her smile, not her voice, not the way she moved around the house. And perhaps that was precisely what drew attention. With the passage of time, her presence ceased to be just functional. Quick conversations turned into longer exchanges. Casual glances began to last a few seconds longer than they should. Without realizing exactly when, something silent began to form between us—discreet, careful, but impossible to ignore.
