Katerina I sit alone in the dimly lit kitchen, a cup of long turned cold coffee in front of me, and just stare at the rising sun. My eyes feel heavy from the lack of sleep and my entire body is stiff as I spent the night tossing and turning in my bed until I just gave up and came here. It’s been two days, two long tormenting days and they still haven’t let Alejandro go. According to Eva they are keeping him only due to some formality at this point, to spook us probably, and here I am, alone, unable to stop my thoughts from roaming freely in my head, each darker than the other. Just to be sure, I check my phone again. 6:30. The only new message is from my little brother stopping to say hi and fill me in on the new family drama. He doesn’t know what’s going on here, no one back home does,
