Ramiro had invited everyone to dinner that evening. He enjoyed the exuberant mood among the youth and he also enjoyed Isabel's presence. He had thought about their conversation for a long time during the hike. He was comfortable with Isabel and he wanted to enjoy the positive emotions as long as possible.

They went to a restaurant near the beach, it had a great view of the sea. The menu was rich and everyone quickly found a delicious meal. In the middle of the meal, Juanma's cell phone vibrated. With one look at the display, he saw that it was Lupe. He pushed the call away and made a mental note to call her back later.

When they were back at the holiday home, Juanma went to the beach  to call Lupe back. Alvaro saw him walking towards the beach.

Lupe answered immediately. "Did you have anything better to do earlier than take my call?" She said, a little sourly.

"We went to eat," said Juanma shortly. He was a bit nervous about the open charge.

"Are you having fun?" Lupe asked and Juanma couldn't read the tone of voice.

"Yes," he said a little hesitantly, "it's very nice here. How are you?"

"The hotel is great. A great pool." When Lupe said nothing more, Juanma asked, "How is it going with your mother?"

"Well, you know her," said Lupe, a little sadly,

"Has Gaspar got in touch?" asked Juanma.

" Why do you want to know that?" asked Lupe.

"Just like that," said Juanma. " Why did you call?"

"Just like that," said Lupe.
When Juanma said nothing more, Lupe said, "Gaspar called. We'll see us next week."
"That's great," said Juanma.
"You don't say more? Doesn't that bother you?"
"Lupe, why should that bother me. I'm happy for you when you have contact with him." Lupe was not satisfied with this answer. "I thought you didn't like Gaspar".
"You can't say that in this way. And that's not the point here either."
"Is Isabel with you?" That was the question Juanma had feared. He paused for a moment. Then he made hissing noises and feigned a broken connection. In between he called "Lupe?" " Hello?" "Lupe" then he hung up and switched off the cell phone. He stayed on the beach a moment longer and looked out to sea. After a while Zoe came up to him and asked "Are you okay?" Juanma nodded,he told her about the phone call with Lupe. "Zoe rolled her eyes." She can ask Ramiro directly, why is she doing this over you. "
Juanma shrugged his shoulders.
When they went back to the others, he told them about the phone call.

"Lupe will be able to imagine," said Ramiro. "I'll take care of it. If she asks one of you again, you can tell her how it is," he said with a look at Isabel who nodded. He did not want to incite the children to lie and decided to make a phone call with Lupe the next day.

Alvaro and Mia had withdrawn a bit on the terrace. "I should have told Lupe right away that Isabel was here," said Alvaro thoughtfully.

"This is actually more Ramiros and Mercedes matters. We shouldn't interfere," Mia said.

"I don't want Lupe to suffer, you understand? I know she's difficult and very mean to you, but she's my sister and I don't want her to be sad. For me it's" just "my mother's marriage that  breaks and she is not innocent. But all her life Lupe took someone for her father who is not and her actual father did not know that she was his daughter. "

" I understand all of this, Alvaro, but it it's not your fault that so much went wrong and I think you shouldn't blame yourself  so much. "

He took her in his arms. "Yes, but you know, I still have you when everything breaks down. But she has no one." Mia snuggled into his arms. She absolutely understood him. No matter how she felt about Lupe, she understood what he was feeling.

"Ramiro will clarify this with Mercedes or Lupe. And she told Juanma that Gaspar had contacted her, didn't she?"

Alvaro nodded. "At least something, even if I'm not sure whether Gaspar is good for  Lupe"

He hugged Mia. He just needed her near. She returned his tight hug.

Zoe and Juanma came to the two of them. "Are you okay?" Asked Zoe and looked at Mia. Mia nodded.

"What do you think if we make a campfire here on the beach one of the next days"? asked Juanma to lighten the mood a bit. "We could collect wood tomorrow." A

lvaro nodded. "That's a good idea," he said.
