SAUDADE
When Afia books a solo trip to Portugal, she isn’t just escaping routine, she’s chasing something she can’t quite name. Haunted by the ghost of love and burdened by expectations, she steps into a city where no one knows her, hoping to finally feel free.
In Lisbon, she finds what she wasn’t looking for: new faces, magnetic connections, and a dangerous brush with desire. One encounter pulls her in too fast. Another disappears without a trace. And the one man she dares to want is already slipping away.
Drifting between sunlit streets and shadowed memories, Afia begins to uncover a different kind of longing—saudade: a deep, aching nostalgia for what’s been lost… and what never truly was.
Laced with yearning and layered in emotion, this is a story about solitude, memory, and the quiet courage it takes to be fully seen.
