Scene 7 - Always

While reading this, please play ‘Always’ in the music player.

Wednesday May 23rd, 6:20 am. Noura finally met her colleagues from the NGO at the port. As the preparation was complete, the boat weighed anchor. Everyone was feverish and a little anxious at the thought of embarking on this crossing. Noura was eager to see her family again and even though she did not know what to expect, she was certain that all the familiar people and places that she remembered were going to be very different.  Her country of origin was locked in the iron grip of its neighbour and had been suffering long enough.

7:30 pm. Noura was standing on the deck of the boat. She enjoyed the sunlight on the horizon and the wind from the open sea. She thought of David who had stayed in Montreal. They had been together now for 3 months and she knew that she truly loved this handsome student with a touch of a bohemian soul.
