After They Leave

Sarah's parents have flown home, and Elena wants to hear everything over coffee and the cake Sarah's mother left behind. Say someone has left, tell what people said and asked before they went, say the more time goes by the harder it is to say goodbye, and look back over the whole visit, from the airport to the rooftop.

THE STORY

It's Sunday afternoon, the second of August. This morning, Sarah took her parents to the little airport. Now she's back at the blue house, and it feels very quiet. Elena is in the kitchen, making coffee in the clay pot, and she has saved Sarah a piece of the cake her mother made there yesterday. Valeria and Diego are packing for the night bus, and tomorrow is the first day of Sarah's midwife course. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
