Some days later, Antonio received a call from Elaine telling him some bad news, she had to leave the following day, going back to Chicago. Before she had left, they made a party in a hotel with some people who went to the Thanksgiving dinner. After that day, Antonio started to prepare the backpack to return to Spain.
