The Shadow of the Wind-Week 5, Post B

I am convinced that Daniel has a weakness for women who are not his own age. There have been three instances when Daniel has fallen for a woman beyond his years. The first was Clara, the second was Bea, and the third was Nuria. The author has yet to write about Daniel falling for someone his own age. I do however support Daniel and Bea’s relationship if she chooses him. Bea is currently engaged to a man serving time in the military and they have planned to get married once he has finished his service. I have no doubt in my mind that Daniel would make a better fit than her fiancé. Bea has displayed clear signs that she is not truly in love with her fiancé and she also displayed quite an interest in Daniel. While I believe they should be together, there is a problem. Bea is Daniel’s best friend Tomas’s older sister. When Tomas came in to see Daniel the day after Bea came home late from being out with Daniel, Tomas discussed his father’s rage at Bea when she arrived home so late and he claimed that he would rip the limbs off the guy she was with. This obviously made Daniel extremely nervous and he guilt himself into telling Tomas that the mystery guy was him. Tomas did not seem pleased to hear this, but he did not protest against the relationship. He simply said “Don’t hurt my sister,” and got up and left. I have reason to believe that Daniel’s interest in Bea goes beyond infatuation, as opposed to his previous interests.
