doesn't notice or doesn't want to notice? 2/2
could letizia have noticed earlier that something was happening to her wife? she could if she didn't come home from work in the middle of the night almost every day. or if they hadn't been fighting with each other during the rare time they spent together. to tell the truth, it wasn't difficult for her to notice, because lettie was the only one in front of whom ciara took off her usual mask of cheerfulness and could show her real self.
what about today? noticing ciara's subdued look for the first time, lettie is really worried at first. she might even feel a slight twinge of guilt. in fact, work has been taking up all her thoughts and time in recent years. no wonder she's estranged from her family and misses so much, but… everything seems to have been resolved, right? does a heart-to-heart conversation help ciara feel better? now everything is back to normal, isn't it? well, letizia really wants to believe that.
