This is the favourite season for Reema, not because of the heat nor the beach, but because she fly to see her parents.
Reem is a 26 year old girl, she’s one of four siblings, two sisters and one brother.
They are arab immigrants in the USA.
She was accepted into Cambridge university in the UK so she flew there when she graduated from high-school.

Reema

Lucy

Lucy

Lucy
Look, I am a business geek and I know the app you created is bomb! If I had money I would invest in it without thinking and I’m not saying this because I’m your bestie, but as a professional.
Reema
Thank you Lucy! I appreciate it.
Lucy
Okay, now I’m heading back to work, otherwise they would kick me out.
As she went, Reema get to her car and drove.. she wasn’t going home, nor to a specific place.
She was thinking of her life, she spent her family’s money to study abroad, to remain without work.
She had her degree five years ago, since then sh created numerous applets and apps… but none of them had worked for her.
At the time she’s working at a flower shop or taking small gigs in freelance…

Reema
