Teodora's pov:

*As Saturday morning dawned, I awoke with a renewed sense of excitement and anticipation for the day ahead. With a quick glance at my watch, I realized it was time to share the amazing news with my friends. With a flutter of excitement in my chest, I picked up the phone and dialed their numbers, eager to share my joy with them. I told everyone to meet in a cafe so I could tell them. In about half an hour I got ready like they did and at the agreed time we found ourselves in a cafe and we entered the cafe and sat down. Everyone ordered what suited them and that's where the story started.*

Me: (taking a deep breath) Alright, guys, I have some news to share.

Ana: (curiously) What's up, sis? You seem both nervous and excited.

Me: (smiling weakly) Well, it's a big decision, but... I'm moving to Trondheim.

*There was a moment of stunned silence as my friends processed the news, their expressions shifting from surprise to sadness.*

David: (in disbelief) Trondheim? But that's so far away. When did you decide this?

Me: (with a hint of sadness) Well.. My dad was offered a job in Trondheim. It's a great opportunity, but it means we'll have to move.

Max: (trying to be supportive) That's incredible. Congratulations! But... we're going to miss you so much.

Me: (nodding) I know, Max. I'm going to miss you all too. You've been like family to me, and it's hard to imagine not having you by my side every day.

Kate: (tearfully) We'll still keep in touch, right? And you'll come back to visit?

Me: (assuringly) Of course, Kate. I'll make sure to stay in touch, and I'll come back to visit whenever I can. You guys mean the world to me.

*Despite the sadness lingering in the air, we tried to focus on the positive aspects of my move and the exciting opportunities that lay ahead.*

Ana: (optimistically) Well, Trondheim is a beautiful city, sis.. You'll have so many new experiences and adventures waiting for you there.

Me: (forcing a smile) You're right, Ana. I'm looking forward to exploring a new city and immersing myself in new experiences. And who knows, maybe you guys can come and visit me sometime.

*As we continued to chat and reminisce about our time together, the reality of my impending move began to sink in. Despite the distance that would soon separate us, I knew that the bond of friendship we shared would endure, no matter where life took us.*

*As the conversation drifted toward the logistics of my move and how it would impact my relationships, the inevitable question arose about whether I had informed Martinus about my decision to move to Trondheim.*

Andrea: (curiously) So, did you tell Martinus about this? I mean, you'll be a hundred times closer to him now!

Me: (nodding) Yes, I did tell him. His reaction was... well, he was surprised at first, but then he was really supportive.

Ana: (with a knowing smile) I bet he was. He's probably thrilled that you'll be closer to him.

Me: (blushing) Yeah, he seemed pretty happy about it. He even offered to help me settle in once I'm there.

David: (teasingly) Aww, that's cute. He really loves you.

Me: (rolling my eyes playfully) Oh, I know, hahaha.

Ana: Even when you were 10 years old, you started whining about the day when you would live together with Martinus. You may not live together now, but you will literally be too close.

Me: (smiling) You know, it's not just about being closer to Martinus. I'm also excited to explore a new city and start this new chapter of my life.

Ana: (enthusiastically) That's the spirit! Trondheim is such a beautiful city, and I'm sure you'll love it there.

Me: (nodding) I can't wait to dive into everything it has to offer. And who knows, maybe I'll even find some new inspiration for our music.

*I couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement at the prospect of being closer to Martinus. His support, love and encouragement meant the world to me, and I looked forward to the opportunity to spend more time with him once I move to Trondheim.*
