Every summer, Romero returns to the same place that he saw Hanna for the last time. Romero went to the beach, recording joyful memories of his life. He was sitting on the sand, feeling the wind and smelling the salt of water. But just Hanna has been in his thoughts.

Around him there were teenagers who knew Hanna. However, they said that they have only heard about her name in local stories.

Romero was shocked, because Hanna was known by everyone when they were together. But sometimes, he thought that she was kind of weird, some actions didn’t make sense.

While he was thinking about the past and what could have happened to Hanna, Romero heard:

• I will keep swimming forever.

Romero stopped everything and turned toward the sea. It was her, far away, but he could feel her. The smell changed from salt to sweet, like her kiss. After that, Romero realized Hanna was not here anymore, but she was still alive in his thoughts and heart.

With the waves crashing in the rocks and the wind on his face, he said:

• Come here Hanna. Let’s keep swimming, together.
