As the pair climbs into Jeremy’s fire-engine-red Alpha Romeo and peel away, the camera pans across the final words of her letter: “Je t’embrasse. Adieu. Camille.” (“I kiss you. Goodbye.

...large role in Murillo’s life at Harvard, she appears at ease in the multicultural environs of the Winthrop courtyard. Finished discussing her background, Murillo says she’d like to join the rest of her Housemates, picks up her pink Blackberry Pearl, bids a professional adieu, and blends into the pastel-colored crowd...
