Es: "Pero sabes que te quiero, ¿verdad?"
En: "But you know I love you, right?"

Es: Rocío asintió lentamente, sus manos jugaban nerviosamente con el borde de su abrigo.
En: Rocío nodded slowly, her hands nervously playing with the edge of her coat.

En: "But I'm afraid of being alone here."

Es: Álvaro sostuvo su mano, apretándola suavemente.

Es: "Te prometo que volveré.
En: "I promise I'll come back.

Es: Estaré en contacto todos los días," dijo con convicción, esperando que sus palabras fueran suficientes.
En: I'll be in touch every day," he said with conviction, hoping his words would be enough.

Es: El anuncio final del embarque resonó en el aire, y Rocío sintió que su corazón daba un vuelco.
En: The final boarding announcement echoed in the air, and Rocío felt her heart skip a beat.

Es: Sabía que debía ser fuerte, permitir que Álvaro siguiera su sueño, aunque eso significara enfrentar su temor.
