The woman before him was no longer the same shy, submissive person he had met years ago. Now, after all these trials, Elisa seemed enveloped by an aura of strength, a fire in her eyes that captured his attention more than any words could.

Eduardo ran his hand through his hair, taking a deep breath. I know. But we can't make mistakes, Elisa. She's cunning, calculating... and she moves like a shadow.
Then let's bring light... Elisa replied, looking at him with determination. I know someone who can help us.
Eduardo raised his eyebrows. Who?
