"SAUDADE"

Portuguese word. Known as "the love that remains" or "the love that stays." A nostalgic longing for something or someone who was loved and then lost, with the knowledge that he or she could never return.

But, what would happen if that person comes back?

Or rather, what would happen if those people go back to what they were?

After greeting her parents with one hand, and taking the small medal that hung from her neck to show it from afar, she approached the top step of the podium and hugged her best friend, leaving a kiss on his cheek when they separated. Getting the English's cheeks to get a more pink colour than normal.

-You deserve it, Lan- said an excited Gabriela. She seemed happier for her friend than for what she herself had achieved.

-Thank you, Ela. You too.- little Norris answered with a bright smile.
