TANYA'S POV
Come on, Kaida, let's get moving. "Take it easy!"
Kaida's laughter filled me with excitement as I watched her expression become more relaxed. "Tanya, you're a handful," she said while shaking her head.
"That is who I am!" I chuckled, uttering. "At least I'm not dull, right?"
Kaida's smile once more brought a feeling of warmth to my chest. It was moments like this that made me understand that even in confinement, there was still space for bonding and camaraderie.
Over time, Kaida and I became increasingly closer. We would have long conversations about our preferred books and stories, and I discovered that she loved reading, consuming stories of courage and excitement. I talked about my own passion for mythology and legends, and together we would have long conversations about the details of heroism and bravery.
