Cada mañana, Lucía abría la ventana de su tranquila habitación y escuchaba el suave rumor del mar.
La brisa fresca traía historias de lugares lejanos, puertos escondidos y barcos que navegaban hacia el horizonte dorado.
Con una taza de café caliente en las manos, cerraba los ojos y soñaba con viajar por el mundo entero.

Chapter 1
Every morning, Clara opened the window of her quiet room and listened to the gentle sound of the sea.
