But you have to enjoy it because it wasn’t easy.
“We all love each other very much in the group, we enjoyed the 45 days where we were together. We are always in touch, not only what is seen but we’re all practically talking in some of the chats that we have. We had a good time and hopefully we get to see each other again soon.
