Eliza, in her purple pajamas, sitting on the living room carpet in front of six girls.
"Hey, this is the first time in years we've sat together." Helen said, with beaming eyes and a big smile.
Helen's excitement is contagious to the others.
"Yes, it's been almost six years." Luna commented in a nostalgic tone.
Lana, with her head lowered, said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Yes, but today we are here enjoying each other's company..."
Eliza, upon hearing them and seeing how to dampen the mood, just laughed.
"We are all together today. It doesn't matter what happened before. What matters is that we are together. We left bad times, unpleasant experiences, and bad opportunities, behind, leaving the past to see today's and tomorrow's."
After a pause, Eliza saw the expressions of each, and seeing that they smiled, she continued.
