    • 2020, Fernando Benzo, Nunca fuimos héroes:
      Al final, como se veía venir, uno de los rusos se pasó de rosca. Y se acabó de joder la noche. En un momento en que Dolores pasó cerca de ellos, se inclinó sobre la barra, estiró el brazo, la agarró por la muñeca y la atrajo hacia sí pidiéndole «solo un besito».
