And I can settle permanently there without any trouble.” “ Mm. Okay. “ He says, looking into the tablet. “ I found it. It's N country. It's a very small country with a small population. “ He says as he passes the tablet to me. I look into it and smile at Carlos. “ Good. Within a week, I will be flying there. “

Staying there was practically impossible for me. That's why my mother, Alice, decided to move me to her home country. And where is Alice? Of course, she's busy with her soon-to-be husband in Dubai. She decided to marry a Middle Eastern man about two months ago. I've met him a few times; he's a good and pleasant man. However, I find it hard to accept new people around me.

As the car drove out through the headquarters gates, Cecilia suddenly began humming a cheerful Macondo folk song. I leaned against the window while the wind blew through my hair, carrying the salty scent of the sea. The past eight years felt like a heavy old dream, and today, I had finally woken up. The sunlight outside was beautiful, and the sky over Macondo was impossibly blue. This was my sixth month in Macondo after leaving Luca Villani. Six months ago, I was covered in wounds and had nothing to my name, like a pitiful refugee running away from disaster.

"It is the most popular one we have because everyone in this village is tired of the winter by the time February comes around." "It is very pretty," I said. I leaned closer to see the little gears turning inside the glass case. "I think I like the winter though. It is quiet and it feels like the whole world is taking a nap under the snow. Back where I come from everything is always loud and moving too fast for me to keep up." "You are the girl from the apartment above the bookshop," the woman said as she leaned on her broom.

We were now a month into our new lives, and we had acclimatized surprisingly well. The bookstore was flourishing, slowly gaining recognition beyond the confines of our village, drawing visitors from neighboring towns who appreciated the quiet charm of its shelves and the comforting atmosphere it offered. Our lives had found a rhythm, an ordinary cadence that was so unlike everything I had known before.

Today, the shop was particularly quiet, with most of the villagers occupied at their respective jobs.

Her entire heart was submerged in honey. "Be good. Listen to me counting, and go to sleep. I have something to do here. When you wake up, I will call you again, okay? Or, when you wake up, you can call me whenever you miss me." Callan coaxed her to hang up the phone. Savannah took out her earphones from her drawer and put them on. As she listened to Callan counting sheep patiently, she slowly closed her eyes. Callan came to Country A for a multinational joint snow mountain development project. It was autumn in the capital, but it was very cold in Country A. It was a good time to develop the project. Because it was a big project, he would stay here for a long time.

He sighed. “I just wanted to thank you .. again.. for the book. I can’t … I can’t explain to you how much that means to me.” He told her seriously. Emerson smiled at him so brightly it was like he was staring into the sun. But Em wasn’t the sun. She was his moon.

But maybe this was the cost of surviving a bond that never had the chance to grow. I stood, grabbed the mug of cold coffee from my nightstand, and moved to the window. The city didn’t know me. Didn’t care. But the moon was still there, hanging low and pale between buildings like it was watching. I didn’t know whether to curse her or thank her.

I didn't want to leave Manhattan. But dead fathers don't leave you a choice. Eight months after dad died, Mom said we were moving to Madrid. “Better opportunities,” she said. “A fresh start.” What she didn't say was that it had something to do with his old college friend— the one who suddenly cared a lot about us now that Dad was gone. Mom said it was a fresh start. She said Madrid would be good for what she had with him. I didn't get a say. I packed my books and the last pieces of the life I had in New York. Said hurried goodbyes to my friends and boyfriend and followed her across an ocean. Now I was standing in a city that felt foreign to me. Surrounded by boxes a
