⸻ catalina.
owner of the vine. kitsilano. ❝ Its eerily terrifying that there's no sound when a heart breaks. Car accidents end with a bang, falling ends with a thud, even writing makes that scratching sound on paper. But the sound of a heart breaking is completely silent. Almost as though the universe itself couldn't create a sound for such devastation. Almost as though silence is the only way the universe could pay respects to the sound of a heart falling apart. ❞
⸻ priscilla quintana, 30, cis female, she/her // in the KITSILANO neighborhood of Vancouver, you’ll find CATALINA SUAREZ who’s lived there for FIVE YEARS and they spend their days working as the OWNER OF THE VINE. They’ve been described as INTUITIVE, FREETHINKING, REACTIVE, and GUARDED by the people that know them. This is her story.
cancer, death, miscarriage, stillbirth, and depression tw
born and raised in a small coastal village in maine into a very loving and happy family, catalina had a lovely childhood where she enjoyed being spoiled as the only child.
when she was twelve years old her mother was diagnosed with cancer and even though she fought the disease it eventually won the war a year later, leaving just cat and her father behind.
they did the best they could but they were heartbroken and things were never truly the same.
just barely a teenager, cat got a job to help with the household expenses and was ready to give up her dreams of going to california for university when her father came home one day with a bag of a large sum of money.
wanting to believe the best in her father cat didn’t question where the influx of cash came from, and maybe she didn’t really want to know. she headed off to cali for uni and loved it and one of the times when she came home to visit for the winter break, she learned she was pregnant.
no longer in a relationship with the father of the child, she decided to keep the baby anyway and fought with her father about it. he thought she was throwing her life away and cat felt it was a way to connect with her mother. he threw her out and they never really spoke again.
sadly, cat ended up miscarrying and having a stillbirth. it absolutely devastated her and she fell into a deep depression.
the way she chose to try and keep herself alive after that was to travel. she bounced around for a while and eventually ended up on são miguel island in the azores where she met a father-like figure that helped her rise from the ashes of what had been her life.
he also taught her how to make wine.
when she learned of her father’s passing she went home to maine and packed up his things, made peace, and sold the family home.
with that money and a move to vancouver, cat opened the vine and felt like she was starting her life for real.
she has dreams to sell her wine more outside of her restaurant and to also open another location.

Sanem glanced over at her companion for the evening with a smile as she drank her moscow mule in silence, letting Cat take in the atmosphere and the different variety of drinks the establishment served. "I can't believe you've never been here before, and here I thought since I've been gone...I would be late on all the cool places," she chuckled before looking back at Catalina. They'd become recent friends but Sanem enjoyed being around others who shared a lot of the same interests as she did and Catalina just happened to be one of those people. "Hmmm...I've always wanted to try bungee jumping," Sanem replied thoughtfully before making a face, "but not from the bridge in Whistler...that one doesn't interest me. I want it to be in some epic place...what about you though? What's something you've always wanted to do but never have?"
"Honestly, being completely real with you..." The winemaker let out a sigh; it came from her chest, from a rough and achy life. "I don't really get out much." It wasn't difficult to admit such a thing but it made her all the more grateful for the budding friendship she had with the fellow brunette in her company. Since she'd left the island, the more time and distance put between herself and São Miguel the more she seemed to lose sight of keeping life in her life. Not only did she make wine and run the restaurant, had plans for another restaurant, it was as though Catalina scheduled herself to the point where she didn't have to really think. Bad things tended to happen if she let her mind wander. At Sanem's answer her brow lifted, impressed if not a little in shock as it had been the last thing she expected the art dealer to say. "That... sounds so scary," Catalina admitted with a laugh, "but you should look into it and do it! What's held you back?" Life was so fragile, it was important to get out and do the things you really wanted to. "Hmm..." Finger tapped against her chin as she thought. "I want to learn how to sail. I grew up in coastal Maine but we were never able to afford a boat or even lessons so I feel like it's something that's just in my bones because of where I'm from. But, also, how amazing would a sailing trip be?"
"I told you that it would be," the blonde laughed, her own drink coming up to meet her lips. She had been working previously but decided to stay even though her shift had ended to meet with Catalina. Even though she hadn't been in town long, she had been to The Vine so many times that she had lost count. Something about a glass of wine at the end of her day seemed like the perfect ending and when she had asked the other woman to come to the bar, she knew that it was her time to show off the skills. "I know it's not as good as the wine that you have but it's a hit at the bar. It has to be my favorite drink I've made." She didn't come up with it, no but she had learned about it in New York and decided to give it a test here. "Are we talking about something alcoholic or just something in general?"
"It's not that I didn't trust you," eyes crinkling at the corners, laughing lightly, "it's just that, you know, people get stuck in their ways." It had to say something that she was out trying and giving it a chance, right? Plus, since she and the blonde had become friends she valued her opinion and tastes. Sully's was a big staple in Vancouver, a place people had been flocking to and enjoying for generations, but the winemaker hadn't stepped foot inside as often as others might because of the way it reminder her of home. Not the Irish flair, but the fact that it was a pub and there were many of those in Maine. When and where Catalina could she avoided letting memories crop up. "Oh, I wouldn't say that..." The restauranteur gently swatted her hand in Reagan's direction. "You can't really compare wine and a cocktail anyway, but this is great and from looking around it's obviously a big hit so kudos to you, girl." At the question, the brunette set her drink down and folded her arms on the bar as she leaned into them. "Something in general."
where. anywhere they could be having a drink together
who. open / please assume connections if it works ( @vancitystarters )
"This is good," the restauraneur mumbled following a sip of the drink, "I should branch out more often." While her own establishment, The Vine, specialized in wine, it did serve a few other beverages. Most of the Maine native's time was spent perfecting her own brand and testing out what was on the market. Thanks to her years on São Miguel and her quality time with her mentor and life saver, Elmiro, Catalina did consider herself something of an expert when it came to vino. So, some time in friendly company, and a different taste on her tongue was a nice change of pace. Something the brunette realized she needed to do more often. "You know, this is making me think..." Dark eyes settled on her company, "what's something you've always wanted to try?"

give me shelter, or show me heart / watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart / and i'll be yours to keep / a wind in the shadow, a whale song in the deep
To burn it like cedar / I request another dream / I need a forest fire
I'm saved by nature / But it always forgets what I need / I hope you'll stop me before I'll build a world around me
We need a forest fire
You're thicker than you think / You know that money bought your name / Caution, swelling, can I repay you with some blame?
To burn it like cedar / I request another dream / I need a forest fire
Stop before I build a wall around me
