The journey back to Greece was long and filled with uncertainty. Kleia sat in the backseat of the car., staring out the window as the world passed by in the Blount. she showed her felt relief, after all, she was going home to the live she left behind. Yet, every passing mile felt heavier than the last.
She couldn't shake the image of Vito 's face as she walked away from him, that silent resignation in his eyes. It haunted her.
The car finally pulled up to the apartment building , and kleia stepped out, her legs feeling weak beneath her. She didn't even need to glance around to know that her friends, Anastasia and Eleftheria will be waiting for her.
She entered the building , she was created by her friends excited faces, their hugs the questions that spilled out in the flurry.
"Kleia, we were so worried", Anastasia said, pulling her into a tight hug.
" you've been gone for weeks what happened?" Eleftheria added, her eyes wide with concern.
Kleia forced a smile, though it didn't reach her eyes " I'm fine" she said softly. " everything is fine now."
