Cold beer by the bonfire in our parents’ garden.”Celina also recalled moments that defined their bond over the years.“You writing letters to me from IMA and the Valley. Endless WhatsApp messages during Covid. You planning how you would train the twins—and one more—in squash. Running marathons together in spirit.
