As the car advanced through the city's streets, silence grew inside the vehicle.

Anda and Atom were sitting side by side, the little distance between them seeming to decrease with each passing moment.

An awkward silence hung in the air, interrupted only by the sound of the car engine.

Anda watched Atom for a moment, marveling at her childhood friend's classic beauty. Atom was wearing a simple yet elegant dress that highlighted her femininity in a delicate way. Her hair fell in soft waves over her shoulders, and her eyes sparkled with a mixture of nervousness and joy.

On the other hand, Atom also couldn't help but admire Anda, now a famous star, with a stunning timeless beauty. She wondered how Anda had become so confident and determined since the last time they saw each other.

The suspense of the moment only increased her curiosity, and she couldn't wait to find out where they were going.

The sound of the car's engine gradually faded, filling the silence as the vehicle approached Anda's place.

Anda looked out the window and saw the familiar facade of the house, flooding her with a wave of nostalgia.

"It looks like we've arrived." she announced, looking at the woman next to her.

Atom did a small nod, feeling a mix of emotions as she saw the old house where so many happy moments were experienced.

They got out of the car and walked down the path to the front door of the house. Anda unlocked the door and gently pushed it open, revealing the familiar interior layout.

Everything was clean and well taken care of, thanks to the caretaker who looked after the property in the absence of Anda and her family.

They walked through the house, remembering every corner of it, reliving the memories they shared together. The atmosphere was filled with nostalgia, and for a moment, they felt as if time had stopped and they were the same children again.

Anda invited Atom to go up and visit her old bedroom, where they spent so many moments together as children.

As they walked up the stairs, Atom almost fell when she tripped over her high heels. Anda was behind her and acted quickly, holding her tightly by the arm to prevent her from getting hurt.

The unexpected proximity made both of them feel nervous, and their eyes met. They were inches apart facing each other.

"Careful, don't get hurt, okay?" Anda held her firmly, it was a familiar and comforting touch.

Atom blushed slightly and stuttered in her response, feeling suddenly aware of the closeness between them.

"Wow, that was close. Thanks for catching me..." muttered Atom, looking away from Anda's serious gaze.

Anda was trying to keep a serious face, but then a joke escaped her lips, making the tense atmosphere dissipate and a small smile appear on her face.

"Looks like you still haven't lost your clumsy ways, huh?" Anda said humorously, making reference to the countless moments in which Atom ended up getting into funny situations when they were younger.

Atom laughed nervously, silently thanking Anda for saving her from an epic and embarrassing fall and also, she felt relieved that the tension had dissipated.

Anda's joke made the atmosphere between them softened.

When they reached her room, they found themselves surrounded by memories. The remaining old posters on the walls, the toys spread across the shelves, and the soft sunlight coming in through the window created a nostalgic and comforting atmosphere.
