    Time was running and Camila's concern grew as she watched the staff begin to clean.

  • Al salir de la heladería, con la puerta cerrándose detrás de ellos, ambos rieron.

  • Habían probado cada sabor, pero lo más importante, Camila había probado un nuevo enfoque para vivir.

    They had tried every flavor, but most importantly, Camila had tried a new approach to living.
