What nobody knows is that Mercedes has always loved gardening. It is something that she has brought from her childhood to her teenage years.
When she was little, her grandfather, an old widower, had a little farm outside of the city. Well, the farm might be a tiny bit too strong of a word – the piece of land he owned was hardly bigger than a handkerchief, but he loved nonetheless. When Mercedes was a little girl, her parents, who worked almost constantly, would have had her granddad watch her over the weekends. During these times, without many other things to do, he would teach her how to care for the garden – and Mercedes found herself loving it.
That's why, even now, three years after her granddad's death, she still had a little garden in the end of their backyard, where she grows everything she used to with her beloved granddad.
