PART 3 — The Maid Who Opened the Curtains
Rodrigo did not speak at first.
Chapter 3
Part 3: The Billionaire Pretended to Be Asleep to Test the New Maid… But What She Did Left Him Breathless
4,356 words
He lay there beneath his dead daughter’s blanket, staring at the woman who had dared to bring moonlight into the room he had buried alive.
Elena turned and saw his eyes open.
She stepped back immediately.
“I’m sorry, sir.”
His voice came out rough.
“Why did you open them?”
Elena looked toward the curtains.
“Because the room was too dark.”
“It is supposed to be dark.”
“No,” she said softly. “It became dark because everyone was afraid to touch your grief.”
His face hardened.
“You know nothing about my grief.”
“You’re right.”
The answer disarmed him.
Elena lowered her eyes.
“I know about medicine bills. I know about old women who pretend they are not in pain. I know what it feels like to stop studying because life gives you a choice and both options hurt.” She swallowed. “But I don’t know what it feels like to lose a wife
and child.”
Rodrigo sat up slowly.
“You should not be here.”
“I heard crying.”
“There was no crying.”
“There was.”
He stared at her.
Then, with a bitter half-smile, he said, “Then perhaps the house finally learned from me.”
Elena reached for the towel and folded it.
“I cleaned your hand. There was glass.”
“I noticed.”
“I removed the whiskey.”
His gaze sharpened.
“That was not yours to touch.”
“No, sir. But neither was the floor’s blood.”
For a moment, neither of them moved.
Then something astonishing happened.
Rodrigo almost laughed.
Not fully. Not happily.
But some broken sound escaped his chest, unfamiliar enough that it frightened him.
He stood too quickly, swayed, and caught the edge of the little bed.
Elena instinctively reached out.
He pulled away.
“Do not.”
She froze.
“I apologize.”
His eyes fell to her hand, then to the yellow sweater she had folded.
The anger
drained from his face.
“How did you fold that?”
Elena looked confused.
“The sweater?”
“Yes.”
“My grandmother taught me. She says children’s clothes should be folded like promises. Carefully, because they remember.”
Rodrigo closed his eyes.
The words struck him somewhere no accusation ever had.
“Leave,” he said.
Elena nodded.
At the door, she paused.
“Sir?”
His jaw tightened.
“What?”
“The music box is overwound. If you keep forcing it, the spring will break.”
His eyes opened.
“How do you know?”
“My grandfather repaired clocks.”
Then she left.
The next morning, Elena expected to be fired.
Instead, Mrs. Herrera found her in the laundry room.
“Mr. Cárdenas wants coffee in the garden room.”
Elena’s stomach dropped.
“From me?”
“Yes.”
When Elena entered, Rodrigo stood by the window, dressed again in his perfect suit. His hand was bandaged. The sky outside was pale after the storm.
She placed the tray on
the table.
“Your coffee, sir.”
“You were in nursing school.”
Elena blinked.
“Yes.”
“Why did you stop?”
“My grandmother needed care.”
“Parents?”
“My mother died when I was young. My father left before I learned his face.”
Rodrigo turned.
“Why take this job?”
“Because the salary can keep my grandmother alive.”
He studied her as though searching for the hidden angle.
Everyone had one.
Investors wanted access.
Politicians wanted donations.
Employees wanted favor.
Women wanted his name.
Enemies wanted weakness.
“What do you want from me?” he asked.
Elena looked at him plainly.
“My wages. Respect. And Sundays after noon.”
Rodrigo stared.
“That’s all?”
“That is already a lot.”
He looked away first.
On the table between them lay the repaired music box.
Elena’s breath caught.
“You fixed it?”
“No,” Rodrigo said. “You will.”
She almost smiled.
“Sir, I said I know a little. Not that I’m a miracle worker.”
“This house has paid professionals for everything. None of them could make that thing play without sounding like it was dying.” He pushed it toward her. “Try.”
So Elena did.
After lunch, with Mrs. Herrera watching from a suspicious distance, Elena sat at the kitchen table with the music box, a tiny screwdriver, and memories of her grandfather’s hands.
Rodrigo pretended not to watch from the doorway.
But he watched everything.
The way Elena frowned when concentrating.
The way she hummed under her breath.
The way she spoke to the broken spring like it was a stubborn child.
“Come on,” she murmured. “Don’t be dramatic.”
At last, the ballerina turned.
The melody rose.
Clear.
Tender.
Whole.
Mrs. Herrera crossed herself.
Rodrigo went still.
For three years, that music had been a knife.
Now, for reasons he could not explain, it sounded like a door opening.
Elena looked up.
“It works.”
Rodrigo could not answer.
His throat had closed.
That evening, when Elena carried fresh towels upstairs, she noticed something different.
The door to Sofía’s room was closed.
But not locked.
PART 5 — The Photograph Hidden Behind the Wall
Days turned into weeks.
Elena did not heal the house.
Not magically.
Not quickly.
Grief does not vanish because someone kind enters the room.
But the mansion began to change in small ways.
A window opened in the mornings.
Fresh flowers appeared in the dining room.
Mrs. Herrera stopped whispering every time she passed the second floor.
Rodrigo still worked too much, spoke too little, and carried sadness like a second skeleton beneath his skin.
But sometimes, when Elena repaired a loose hinge or scolded the kitchen radio for losing signal, his mouth softened as if he remembered smiling from another life.
Then came the invitation.
It arrived in a black envelope.
Rodrigo read it at breakfast.
His face changed so suddenly Elena noticed from across the room.
Mrs. Herrera noticed too.
“What is it, sir?”
Rodrigo folded the envelope.
“The annual Cárdenas Foundation gala.”
Mrs. Herrera stiffened.
“You have not attended since—”
“I know.”
Elena carried the coffee pot closer.
“Since what?”
Rodrigo looked at her.
“Since the accident.”
That word entered the room like smoke.
Accident.
Elena knew the official story by then. Everyone in Monterrey knew.
Three years ago, Rodrigo’s wife, Isabela, and daughter, Sofía, had been traveling to the family’s country estate outside Santiago. Their car went off a rain-slick mountain road. The driver died too.
Rodrigo had not been with them.
He had been in a board meeting.
A meeting he canceled five minutes too late.
The gala was held each year in Isabela’s honor. It funded pediatric hospitals, scholarships, emergency care.
Rodrigo paid for everything.
But he never attended.
This year, he did.
And he brought Elena.
Not as a guest.
As staff.
At least, that was what he told himself.
The night of the gala, Elena wore her uniform and tied her hair neatly back. She helped coordinate flowers, menus, seating cards, and last-minute disasters among women wearing diamonds heavy enough to bruise.
Rodrigo arrived late.
The room changed when he entered.
He looked magnificent and untouchable in a black tuxedo.
People turned.
Whispers followed.
“Rodrigo Cárdenas.”
“He finally came.”
“Poor man.”
“Still handsome.”
“Still dangerous.”
Elena watched from near a service door.
Rodrigo’s gaze found her across the crowd.
For one second, the noise around them faded.
Then a man stepped in front of him.
Tall. Silver-haired. Charming.
Rodrigo’s older cousin, Damián Cárdenas.
“El primo returns from the dead,” Damián said warmly, embracing him.
Rodrigo did not embrace back.
“Damián.”
“You should have come sooner. People need to see you living again.”
“I am not here for people.”
Damián smiled.
“No. You never were.”
Elena did not know why the exchange made her uneasy.
Perhaps it was Damián’s smile.
Too smooth.
Too practiced.
Later that night, while looking for extra candles in a storage room behind the ballroom, Elena heard voices.
Damián’s voice.
And Mrs. Herrera’s.
“You should be careful,” Mrs. Herrera said.
“Careful?” Damián laughed softly. “I am always careful.”
“He is opening that room again.”
Silence.
Then Damián asked, “Because of the maid?”
“She is different.”
“No one is different. Everyone has a price.”
Elena held her breath.
Mrs. Herrera’s voice trembled.
“Leave him alone.”
“My dear Herrera, I have protected this family from Rodrigo’s madness for three years. Imagine what would happen if he started asking questions again.”
Questions?
Elena pressed a hand over her mouth.
Damián continued, lower now.
“Some tragedies must remain clean. Accidents are easier to inherit from.”
Elena’s blood went cold.
A waiter entered the hallway nearby, and Elena slipped away before she was seen.
That night, she could not sleep.
Damián’s words circled her mind.
Accidents are easier to inherit from.
At dawn, she went to Sofía’s room.
Not to snoop.
That was what she told herself.
But sometimes truth hides where rules forbid you to look.
She dusted carefully. Changed the air. Straightened the stuffed rabbits.
Then she noticed one rabbit was heavier than the others.
Inside a loose seam, her fingers found a small key.
Elena’s heart slammed.
The key opened the drawer of Sofía’s little writing desk.
Inside were crayons, hair ribbons, stickers, and a photograph.
Not the family portrait.
A different one.
Blurry. Taken by a child.
It showed the garage.
Rodrigo’s wife, Isabela, stood beside the car on the day of the accident.
Behind her, half-hidden near the open hood, was Damián.
He was holding something metallic.
Elena turned the photograph over.
On the back, in a child’s uneven writing, were four words:
“Tío Damián broke it.”
PART 6 — The Test That Became a Trap
Elena told no one at first.
Not Mrs. Herrera.
Not Rodrigo.
She hid the photograph beneath the lining of her suitcase and spent the day moving through the mansion with her heart knocking against her ribs.
Damián had been there.
The day of the accident.
Near the car.
Holding something.
And Sofía had seen him.
That evening, Rodrigo found Elena in the garden, standing beneath the orange trees.
“You have been quiet,” he said.
She turned too quickly.
“I’m working.”
“You are avoiding me.”
“That would be difficult, sir. You own most of the walls.”
His eyes narrowed.
“Something happened.”
Elena looked away.
Rain clouds gathered above the city.
“Do you trust your cousin?”
Rodrigo’s expression closed.
“No.”
The answer came too fast.
“Did you ever?”
“When we were boys.”
“What changed?”
Rodrigo stepped closer.
“Why are you asking?”
Elena’s fingers tightened.
Because I found a photograph.
Because your daughter may have left you a message.
Because the man who calls you cousin may have killed your family.
Instead she said, “At the gala, I heard him say accidents are easier to inherit from.”
Rodrigo went dangerously still.
“Repeat that.”
She did.
Every word.
When she finished, Rodrigo’s face had lost all color.
“Come with me.”
He led her to his study — the forbidden one.
Elena hesitated at the threshold.
Rodrigo noticed.
“You may enter.”
Inside, the study smelled of leather, paper, and old smoke. The desk was immaculate. On one wall hung architectural plans. On another, a large portrait of Rodrigo’s father.
Rodrigo unlocked a drawer and removed a file.
“I investigated the accident,” he said. “Privately. Quietly. For almost a year.”
“What happened?”
“Every trail ended nowhere. Mechanics disappeared. Police reports contradicted themselves. Security footage was lost. Damián controlled the foundation accounts then. He told everyone I was unstable.”
“Were you?”
Rodrigo looked at her.
“Yes.”
The honesty shook her.
He opened the file.
“There was one thing I never found.”
“What?”
“Proof he was near the car.”
Elena closed her eyes.
Then she reached into her apron pocket.
She had brought the photograph after all.
Rodrigo took it from her.
For several seconds, he did not breathe.
Then his hands began to shake.
Not with weakness.
With fury.
He turned the photograph over.
Read Sofía’s words.
His knees almost gave way.
Elena caught his arm.
This time, he did not pull away.
“Rodrigo…”
It was the first time she had said his name.
He looked at her as though the sound had reached some locked place inside him.
“My daughter knew,” he whispered.
Elena’s eyes filled.
“She tried to tell you.”
Rodrigo pressed the photograph to his chest.
Then every light in the study went out.
The mansion plunged into darkness.
A sound came from downstairs.
Glass breaking.
Rodrigo grabbed Elena’s wrist.
“Stay behind me.”
They moved into the hallway.
Another crash.
Then Mrs. Herrera screamed.
Rodrigo ran.
Elena followed.
In the entrance hall, Mrs. Herrera lay on the floor, conscious but bleeding from her forehead. Two masked men stood near the staircase.
And behind them, calmly removing his gloves, was Damián.
“Elena,” he said, smiling. “You found something that does not belong to you.”
Rodrigo’s voice was deadly.
“You killed them.”
Damián sighed.
“I saved the family from your weakness.”
“My wife. My child.”
“Collateral tragedies happen.”
Rodrigo lunged.
One of the men raised a gun.
Elena screamed, “No!”
Everything happened at once.
Mrs. Herrera kicked the attacker’s leg.
Rodrigo slammed into him.
The gun skidded across the marble.
Damián grabbed Elena by the arm and dragged her backward.
“You little maid,” he hissed. “Do you know what you have done?”
Elena drove her heel into his foot.
He cursed.
She tore free and ran toward the kitchen.
Damián followed.
Elena knew the house better now.
She knew which door stuck.
Which rug slipped.
Which cabinet held the heavy iron skillet.
When Damián entered the kitchen, Elena swung.
The skillet struck his shoulder with a sickening crack.
He staggered.
But did not fall.
His face twisted.
“You should have stayed poor and quiet.”
Elena backed away.
“And you should have stayed afraid of little girls with cameras.”
Damián rushed her.
Rodrigo appeared behind him and struck him hard enough to send him crashing against the counter.
Police sirens wailed outside.
Mrs. Herrera had pressed the panic alarm.
Damián looked from Rodrigo to Elena, then laughed through bloodied teeth.
“You think this ends here? The company board belongs to me. The police commissioner golfs with me. Your grief made me powerful, cousin.”
Rodrigo stepped closer.
“No.”
He held up his phone.
The screen was recording.
“You made yourself careless.”
Damián’s smile vanished.
PART 7 — The Secret No One Saw Coming
Damián was arrested before dawn.
By sunrise, the city knew only pieces.
A break-in.
A family dispute.
A billionaire’s cousin taken into custody.
But inside the mansion, the truth settled slowly, heavily, like dust after an explosion.
Mrs. Herrera needed six stitches and refused to go to bed.
“I have survived worse than rich men with guns,” she muttered.
Elena sat beside Rodrigo in Sofía’s room as morning light filled the walls.
He held the photograph in both hands.
“I hated myself for three years,” he said. “Every morning. Every night. I thought if I had left the meeting earlier…”
Elena spoke gently.
“You loved them. That is not the same as causing their deaths.”
Rodrigo looked at the little bed.
“She tried to warn me.”
“She was a child. And she did something brave.”
He nodded slowly.
Then a sound came from the hallway.
Carmen Salgado’s voice.
“Elena?”
Elena shot to her feet.
“Grandma?”
Carmen stood at the doorway, leaning on her cane, wrapped in an old shawl, with Mrs. Herrera behind her looking deeply annoyed.
“She insisted,” Mrs. Herrera said.
Carmen looked around Sofía’s room.
Her sharp eyes took in everything.
The toys.
The music box.
The photograph.
Then she looked at Rodrigo.
“You are Rodrigo Cárdenas.”
“Yes, señora.”
Carmen stepped closer.
“I knew your wife.”
Elena froze.
Rodrigo stood.
“What?”
Carmen lowered herself into the chair by the window.
“Not well. Not as a friend. But I knew her. Years ago, at the public clinic. She came without bodyguards. Pregnant. Scared. Too proud to say why.”
Rodrigo’s face tightened.
“Isabela was scared?”
Carmen nodded.
“She asked about safe houses. Legal protection. Emergency medical contacts. She said there were people around her husband who would destroy him to control his fortune.”
Rodrigo whispered, “Why didn’t she tell me?”
“Maybe she tried. Maybe she wanted proof first.” Carmen’s gaze moved to Elena. “She gave me something.”
Elena could barely speak.
“What?”
Carmen reached into her worn handbag and removed a sealed envelope, yellowed with age.
“I forgot the name for years. Illness takes strange things from the mind and returns them when it pleases. But when Elena told me where she worked, it came back.”
Rodrigo took the envelope like it might burn him.
Inside was a letter.
And a small silver necklace with a sunflower pendant.
Rodrigo recognized it immediately.
“Sofía’s.”
His voice broke.
The letter was in Isabela’s handwriting.
Rodrigo read aloud, each word tearing through him.
“If anything happens to me, do not let them convince Rodrigo he is guilty. Damián has been moving money through the foundation. I found documents. He knows I know. I am leaving copies where only Sofía would think to hide treasure. Rodrigo, forgive me. I wanted to protect you from a war inside your own blood.”
Elena covered her mouth.
There was more.
A location.
An old charity clinic in Veracruz.
A name.
A doctor.
And one sentence that made the room tilt.
“There was another child.”
Rodrigo stopped reading.
The world seemed to hold its breath.
Elena whispered, “Another child?”
Carmen closed her eyes.
“Isabela was carrying twins. One baby was weak. The doctors feared she would not survive. Isabela came to Veracruz quietly after the birth for treatment. She placed the child in temporary medical guardianship under a different name because she feared Damián.”
Rodrigo shook his head.
“No. Sofía was my only child.”
“That is what everyone was told,” Carmen said. “Including you.”
Rodrigo gripped the letter.
“Where is she?”
Carmen’s face softened.
“I don’t know.”
The happiness that had almost sparked died instantly.
But Elena leaned forward.
“The clinic name. The doctor. We can search records.”
Rodrigo turned to her.
For the first time since she had known him, his eyes held something more dangerous than grief.
Hope.
Three days later, Rodrigo, Elena, Carmen, and a private investigator stood inside a small records office in Veracruz.
The building smelled of paper, humidity, and old secrets.
The doctor from the letter had died years ago.
Most records had been damaged in a flood.
But one nurse remembered.
“A baby girl,” the old nurse said. “Very fragile. Sunflower necklace tied to her incubator. The mother cried when she left.”
Rodrigo’s voice was barely sound.
“What happened to the baby?”
“She survived.”
Elena grabbed his hand under the table.
The nurse searched through a box of restored files.
Then she found a name.
Not Cárdenas.
Not Sofía.
The child had been registered under temporary guardianship.
Lucía.
Lucía Mar.
Adopted at eighteen months.
Rodrigo stood so fast his chair fell.
“Where?”
The nurse looked at the paper.
“Monterrey.”
Elena felt her heart begin to pound.
The address was old.
The adoptive parents had moved twice.
Then died in a bus accident when the girl was nine.
Lucía had entered a scholarship program.
Then a Catholic girls’ residence.
Then university.
Nursing program.
Elena stopped breathing.
The investigator read the final line.
“Elena Salgado.”
The room spun.
Carmen began to cry.
Rodrigo turned slowly toward Elena.
Elena shook her head.
“No.”
But Carmen was sobbing now.
“I never knew,” she whispered. “Your mother brought you to me through the clinic papers after your adoptive parents died. I thought you were just another lost girl who needed someone. I swear, Elena, I never knew.”
Elena looked at Rodrigo.
His face had gone white.
The man she had healed.
The employer she had challenged.
The grieving father she had pulled from darkness.
Was staring at her as if she had returned from the dead.
Rodrigo whispered, “Lucía?”
Elena’s knees buckled.
He caught her before she hit the floor.
PART 8 — The Daughter Who Came Home Through the Servants’ Door
No one spoke during the flight back to Monterrey.
The private jet cut through clouds painted gold by sunset, but inside, Elena sat beside the window with Rodrigo’s jacket over her shoulders and an impossible truth sitting between them.
She was not merely Elena Salgado.
She was Lucía Cárdenas.
Sofía’s twin.
Isabela’s hidden daughter.
Rodrigo’s child.
The same house that had hired her as a maid had unknowingly opened its servants’ door to its lost heiress.
Carmen sat across from her, wiping her eyes with a handkerchief.
“I loved you,” she kept saying. “Whatever name they gave you, I loved you.”
Elena reached for her grandmother’s hand.
“You are my grandmother,” she said through tears. “Nothing changes that.”
Rodrigo heard it and lowered his eyes.
He understood then what love required.
Not possession.
Not blood alone.
Recognition.
Gratitude.
Patience.
When they returned to the mansion, Mrs. Herrera stood at the entrance.
She had already been told.
For once, the severe woman had no words.
Elena stepped out of the car.
The mansion rose before her, no longer a museum, no longer a tomb, but something trembling on the edge of becoming a home.
Rodrigo approached her slowly.
“Elena,” he said, then stopped.
The name no longer seemed enough.
But Lucía did not fully belong to her either.
She looked at him.
“I don’t know how to be your daughter.”
Rodrigo’s eyes filled.
“I don’t know how to be alive again.”
A painful smile touched her face.
“Then we learn slowly.”
He nodded.
“Slowly.”
Inside, Sofía’s room was waiting.
Elena entered first.
The air smelled faintly of lavender and old wood. The music box sat on the desk. The yellow sweater lay folded beside it.
Rodrigo stood behind her.
“I thought opening this room would destroy me,” he said. “But you opened the curtains.”
Elena touched the sunflower necklace now resting in her palm.
“Maybe Sofía wanted us to find each other.”
Rodrigo could not answer.
The music box began to play.
Neither of them had touched it.
The ballerina turned, one repaired arm lifted toward the light.
Elena laughed through tears.
Rodrigo covered his mouth.
And for the first time in three years, the sound inside that room was not crying.
It was life.
Damián’s trial became the scandal of the decade.
The hidden accounts were exposed. The foundation was reclaimed. Men who had smiled beside him at galas suddenly forgot his phone number. Rodrigo did not attend every hearing, but Elena did.
Not out of revenge.
Out of certainty.
She wanted him to see her alive.
One afternoon, Damián looked across the courtroom and sneered.
“You still think you belong with them? You entered that house as a servant.”
Elena stood.
Her voice was calm.
“I entered as a servant because no one in that house recognized a daughter.”
The room went silent.
Then Rodrigo rose beside her.
“She is my daughter,” he said. “And she saved my life before she knew I was her father.”
Damián’s face collapsed.
That was the moment he lost everything.
Months passed.
The mansion changed.
Not all at once.
But beautifully.
The locked door stayed open.
Children from the pediatric foundation came to visit during holidays. Sofía’s room became a small library and music room, with her toys kept carefully on one shelf beneath her photograph.
Carmen moved into the sunniest suite on the ground floor and terrorized the private chef into learning proper Veracruz soup.
Mrs. Herrera pretended to dislike the noise.
Everyone knew she was lying.
Elena returned to nursing school, this time with Rodrigo driving her on the first day like an anxious father.
At the university gate, he looked more nervous than she did.
“Do you have everything?”
“Yes.”
“Books?”
“Yes.”
“Lunch?”
“I’m not five.”
He paused.
Then, very softly, he said, “I missed when you were five.”
Elena’s expression softened.
She leaned over and kissed his cheek.
“We still have now.”
Rodrigo closed his eyes.
Those four words became the foundation of their new life.
Not the past.
Not what had been stolen.
Now.
Years later, people in Monterrey still told the story.
They said Rodrigo Cárdenas pretended to be asleep to test the new maid.
They said he expected greed, betrayal, curiosity.
They said she touched nothing valuable.
Not the gold clocks.
Not the silver frames.
Not the secrets on his desk.
Instead, she bandaged his wounded hand, took away the whiskey, repaired a child’s music box, and opened the curtains in a room grief had kept locked for three years.
They said that was what left him breathless.
But the truth was stranger.
More impossible.
More beautiful.
Because the maid was never just a maid.
She was the missing daughter.
The hidden twin.
The last living piece of a love Rodrigo believed he had buried.
And on a rainy morning exactly one year after Elena first arrived, Rodrigo stood again before the glass wall of Cárdenas Tower.
Monterrey stretched beneath him, bright after the storm.
His coffee sat on the desk.
Still warm.
Elena entered without knocking, wearing jeans, a white blouse, and the sunflower necklace.
“You’re late for the foundation meeting,” she said.
Rodrigo turned.
For a second, he saw Isabela’s eyes.
Sofía’s smile.
And Elena’s own fierce, unbreakable heart.
“I know,” he said.
“You’re smiling.”
“Am I?”
“Yes. It’s suspicious.”
He laughed.
A real laugh.
The kind the house had waited years to hear.
Elena walked to the window beside him.
Below them, the city glowed.
Behind them, on Rodrigo’s desk, stood a framed photograph.
Rodrigo, Isabela, Sofía.
And beside it, a new one.
Rodrigo, Carmen, Mrs. Herrera, and Elena.
Not replacing the old life.
Joining it.
Elena looked at her father.
“Do you ever wonder what would have happened if you hadn’t pretended to be asleep that night?”
Rodrigo thought of the darkness, the music box, the moonlit curtains, and the young woman brave enough to treat a stranger’s grief like something still worth saving.
“Yes,” he said.
“And?”
He looked at her with quiet wonder.
“I think Sofía would have found another way.”
Elena smiled.
Outside, the clouds parted.
Sunlight spilled over Monterrey like a blessing.
And inside the tower of steel, the man everyone feared finally understood the secret his daughter had left behind:
Some doors are not locked to keep people out.
Some are waiting for the right heart to open them.
