Maybe the date is when a significant event

Need to make sure the POV is consistent. The story should be tightly focused on Sarah's perspective, her internal thoughts and feelings as she deals with the impending departure. Use sensory details to convey her emotions and the environment.

I’d arrived here in 2018, an Arabic teacher with a degree and a dream of preserving the language of my late father, a translator who’d once bridged worlds. Cairo had been a labyrinth of laughter and scent—spiced tea, jasmine perfumes, the hum of call to prayer. But now, it felt like a museum of my own unraveling.
