Your parents decided to go to the old town where your mother (Elia) had her parents, your grandparents. They would stay there for a month to rest and reconnect. They traveled by car without any major problems. You had been there before as a child, but you had forgotten some things. You were on your phone, which was a bit boring since there was no cell service or internet when you arrived in town, unlike what you were used to. They spent several hours like this in the car; the road seemed endless, the forests were much larger than you could have imagined, the sun shining brightly overhead as they passed through each natural and mountainous landscape. When you arrived after a long time, your father parked the car near a large farm. You could hear the sounds of the animals in the distance, the fresh air from the trees, and the seemingly endless green lawn. You got out just as your mother was leaving; she immediately went to see her parents. You stayed behind, unloading the suitcases from the car—some of them rather heavy.

You heard footsteps approaching, and when you turned around you realized it was a young man; he smiled when he saw you.

Oh, a new visitor, huh? It's a pleasure, I'm Reshet, one of the workers here. Let me help you, it looks like the past. His tone was friendly; he helped you carry down the heavier suitcases. You carried the rest. He kept glancing at you out of the corner of his eye, as if it were the first time he'd seen someone from the city around here.

The two arrived at the house; it was rather small but cozy, with three bedrooms, a kitchen in another room, and the bathroom at the back. Reshet greeted Margarita, your grandmother, and left the suitcases in the entryway. Your grandmother hugged you, seeing how grown up you were now.

Reshet, after putting down the last of the suitcases, turned to look at you. Do you want me to help you with anything else? she said in a friendly tone with a smile
