Reading
It is Kenji's last week in Medellín, and everyone is busy. Sofía is designing a photo album — she is the friend who never forgets a detail. Ben is planning the party, which is dangerous, because Ben can't plan anything. Carmen is cooking all day; you can smell the arepas from the street. 'You shouldn't be sad,' she tells Kenji. 'People who love each other always meet again.' Kenji smiles. He has to go home, but he knows this is not a goodbye. It is a 'see you later'.
