The afternoon unfolds with a sense of purpose as Vanessa, accompanied by Lucia, prepares to leave her grandmother's comforting haven and head to the airport. The vintage furniture and family photographs in the apartment seem to bid farewell with a silent understanding, knowing that Vanessa's journey continues beyond the familiar walls.
As they drive the charming streets of Lisboa en route to the airport, Lucia, ever perceptive, senses the undercurrent of contemplation in Vanessa's demeanor. With a supportive smile, she breaks the silence that hangs between them.
"Vanessa, I can feel the weight of unspoken words lingering within you," Lucia remarks gently. "Sometimes, the hardest conversations are the ones we need the most."
Vanessa, looking out of the window as the cityscape passes by, nods in acknowledgment. The missed call and the unresolved emotions remain like a subtle undertow in the background of her thoughts.
