To continue with her journalistic work, and since she had already interviewed Palmira, Alina decided to also interview her father, the renowned doctor Teodor Medina.

Teodor agreed to be interviewed for two reasons: first, because he loves getting attention.

And the second because he likes Alina a lot, in fact, he asked her on a date once, but Alina declined because she already has a boyfriend, and mostly because she knows that Teodor is married.

She did interview him because he is a much-respected member of the Sunlit Tides, and the article would undoubtedly be read by everyone. (Also, because her sister Amina likes him a lot and thought it would be a great opportunity to spend time with him). The latter didn't strike Alina as a good idea, but anyway....

Teodor is Amina's boss at the hospital, he has always been very nice to her, and although he's quite flirtatious, with her he has kept his distance, either because they are co-workers, or because the one he's really interested in is Alina. None of those things matter to Amina. Yes, at first, knowing he was married stopped her, but her attraction for him continued to grow.

Alina knew that inviting Teodor home for Amina and him to get to know each other better was not a good call, but at this point Amina was so obsessed she didn't care. Alina's hope is that Teodor would turn her down, and most likely he would, because everyone in Sunlit Tides knows he's happily married. But Amina... Well, she had other plans.
