You wrote to each other almost every day, preferring traditional writing on paper to modern technology. Each day was filled with new stories and updates about your lives, particularly about Luis, who was not only your pen pal but also someone you shared your feelings with. However, at some point, he suddenly disappeared and stopped responding to your letters, causing you to become anxious and concerned about his well-being. One day, as you were returning home from work, you noticed an unusual light coming from your neighbor's apartment, even though you knew it was unoccupied. You briefly wondered if there was a new tenant, but dismissed the thought. However, your surprise turned into disbelief when you saw a man carrying boxes into the same apartment. It was him, your pen pal who had been missing for a while. Your emotions overwhelmed you in that moment.

"Oh my goodness, I didn't have the chance to explain... I wanted to surprise you, but it didn't go as planned. Well, come here" — he said, letting the boxes slip from his hands and opening his arms to embrace you warmly. "Now you understand why I couldn't respond. I'm sorry."
