Dolores never knew her biological father, apparently when he found out he had impregnated a teenage girl, he fled the town and was never seen again. As for her mother, Dolores remembers her. Despite only spending four years with her, Lola remembered how she had a special song for bath time, that she read the same story to her every night before bed, and most of all, Lola remembered how her mother loved the beach. She remembered the last time she saw her mother, on that very beach they liked to go to so much. They spent the entire afternoon playing, building the biggest sandcastle Lola had ever seen, but later in the afternoon, her mother decided to go for a swim. A swim that Lola couldn't go along, which was strange, to say the least, after all her mother never left Lola alone, especially in public places. She kissed her forehead, told her she loved her and walked to the sea. Lola remembered how minutes turned into hours, watching the waves crash and waiting for her mother to come back. But she never did it.
