They weren't contemporaries chronologically. Miguel had barely left adolescence behind, with all the uncertainties and mood swings typical of his age. He liked to stay up late and ride his motorcycle, putting himself at risk whenever the situation allowed. Sofía, at 80, had the serenity and intelligence that comes with age. She had learned to take things calmly; if she didn't like something, she didn't do it, without getting angry. She went to the gym to stay in shape, tried to eat healthily without overdoing it, and enjoyed talking to her grandson, Miguel, and going out with him for walks and to see movies. He enjoyed talking to his grandmother, who always had a kind word to dispel his fears and offer good advice. Thanks to her cheerful spirit, he was never bored when he was with her. They were contemporaries in a different way, through those connections of the soul that have no age.

No eran contemporáneos cronológicamente, Miguel apenas había salido de la adolescencia, tenía todas las incertidumbres y cambios de humor propios de su edad, le gustaba trasnocharse, andar en moto. Ponerse a riesgo cada vez que la situación lo permitía. Sofía, a sus 80 años, tenía la serenidad y la inteligencia que da la edad, había aprendido a tomarse las cosas con calma, lo que no le gustaba no lo hacía, sin enojarse. Iba al gimnasio para mantenerse en forma, procuraba comer de manera saludable, sin excederse, y le gustaba conversar con su nieto, Miguel, y salir con él a pasear, a ver películas. Él disfrutaba al conversar con la Yaya, siempre tenía una palabra oportuna para disipar sus temores, un buen consejo. Por su espíritu jovial, nunca se aburría cuando estaba con ella. Eran contemporáneos de otra manera, a través de esas conexiones del alma, que no tienen edad.
