Is "Chasing the Sun" in reference most of all to Marabela and Andres' deteriorating relationship?

It's like they've been trying to catch up to a good place that never really existed. Is this what you meant by "Chasing the Sun"?

Also, the sun is such an important part of Peruvian culture, that it made sense to me to include it in the title. The Incas worshipped the sun god, Inti. There was a time when the Peruvian currency was called the Inti, until hyperinflation caused the economy to crash and a new currency unit, the Sol (the Spanish word for sun) replaced it. Several years later, a new unit was established yet again: the nuevo sol (new sun). The imagery of the sun is so intertwined in our culture and history, and I love that the title hints at this.
