Today, around 11:00 AM, Clara returned home after a 4-month business trip.

They used their savings.

Not all.

But enough.

A small but decent apartment.

Light.

Enough.

Mateo didn’t know what to say when they told him.

Lucia cried.

Clara did not give a speech.

He simply said, “So they can breathe easy.”

Three years later, the house was full again.

But different.

Louder laughter.
