As the sun sets on the fourth day, I reluctantly prepare to leave. Keisha walks me to the door, her eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and hope. We stand there, holding each other tightly, as if trying to capture this moment in time.

“I’ll miss you, Llanzo,” she whispers, her voice filled with an undercurrent of longing.
