Different Flags by Eugenia Renskoff

Different Flags, a book by Eugenia Renskoff, tells the story of 26-year-old Ani. Ani leaves her comfortable but stifling life in San Francisco to travel to Argentina to comfort her widowed Aunt Esther. Once back in her native country, Ani must face her unexpected feelings of love for Padre Luis, her aunt's young and handsome parish priest. Different Flags is a study of Ani's inner conflict.

Explanation

January 27, 1984: This is really a hot summer. January is usually so unbearable in Buenos Aires that it´s chosen by many people as getaway time.
Luis soike with me just before I went home this afternoon.He said he read the letter I sent him from San Francisco. He reminded me (and possibly himself?) that he´s a priest. I told him I´ll never say I love him again, but that´s exactly how I feel.
On that we shook hands and I trembled. He´s almost never touched me, but my reaction to him when he´s anywhere near me is the same. Just like electricity.
We looked at each other and didn´t hide. A little bit of progress.
