The noise of the city, the endless honking of jeeps and buses, the shouting of transport barkers, and the fast-paced clamor of people rushing across the footbridge were like needles tearing at her hearing.The heat of the sun’s rays burned painfully against her skin. It was scorching, hot, and far from the cool embrace of the mountain fog where she was used to waking up beside Matthew over the past twenty days.Adeline stood by the roadside, holding her suitcase while staring at the flowing traffic.
