The Running of Juan Antonio — David Xavier

Juan Antonio spent the last three years in grand and small gestures of love beneath the balconies on those sunless and claustrophobic streets, three years, ever since the remnants of boyhood had cracked from his voice. But on the day he was killed Juan Antonio woke with the grandest of all gestures already worked out in his head, a display of the depths of his love that would put to shame all the other would-be suitors who stood on the wet cobbles and shouted to the same girl above them, a display that would win the heart of Isabella Ibáñez forever.
