At precisely 6 pm, the doorbell rang. Lena and Mrs. Garcia exchanged an anxious glance. This was the moment. Lena opened the door with a warm, welcoming smile. “Hello again, please come in”.
Nathan stepped inside tentatively and Mrs. Garcia immediately pulled him into a tight embrace. They held each other for a long moment, both crying tears of joy. Nathan clung to her, burying his face in her shoulder. The emotional reunion brought tears to Lena’s eyes.
