What Wouldn’t You Do for Your Best Friend? by Claudia Morales

Sometimes, love strikes like lightning and splits you in two; other times, it’s built from laughter and loyalty. Laura and Matías have been inseparable friends since they were twelve. They shared laughter, secrets, and countless adventures together. Now, the story finds them just ten days before Laura turns thirty-five. It may sound like a minor detail, but for Laura it’s crucial—because a curse hangs over her family. According to family belief, if she doesn’t marry before turning thirty-five, she will remain alone forever and never fulfill her dream of becoming a mother. Because of this, Laura demands that Matías honor the promise he made when they were seventeen in Bariloche: to marry her if she was still single at thirty-five. But Matías doesn’t share her desire to marry or have children, so he devises a plan to help Laura overcome her fear and find happiness without relying on that old promise. He has ten days to do it. Life is full of myths, verdicts, and inherited expectations that shape our decisions. Friendships, too, can be complicated love stories—and this is one where love disguises itself as friendship.
