The story begins with a chance meeting on a plane between the protagonist, Ester, and a handsome stranger named Tom.

This creates a tension between professional boundaries and romantic inevitability. You can examine how Alma Fernández uses "certezas coincidencias" (certain coincidences) to force characters to confront their feelings within a structured corporate environment.

Explore how Tom acts as a mirror, showing Ester a version of herself she didn't know existed. Her "flight" is both literal and metaphorical—a departure from her identity as a "quiet and obedient girl".

Ester is described as having lived an obedient life, silenced by her family's mandates and taken advantage of by a former partner.
