Florentino would watch her pass by but never got up the courage to say anything. He would always just write it down. His writings each day was 61 pages by the time he built up enough esteem to talk to Fermina. When they met he gave her just a page summed up of everything he had originally written her. She first demanded her father’s permission but the next week she took the letter home and read every single word very carefully.

Throughout their years of separation they both thought they would still have a perfect relationship when Fermina came back but this wasn’t the case. When Fermina came back Florentino barely recognized her because she had matured into an adult.
