A reconciliation before the end

Sandra del Olmo met her father at a café, their first meeting in a year. Their relationship had been strained since he left home and their divorce, which drove them apart as she sided with her mother. They had a casual conversation over coffee, then started calling and messaging each other regularly, bringing them both peace. They met a few more times, lastly on October 27, when he left a suitcase at her doorstep before catching the AVE the next day.
