Alvaro looked at the girls. " Is everything ok with you?"

Both nodded. "I had seen them twice before," said Mia. "But I didn't recognize Paolo".

"Everything went well," said Alvaro. "I was concerned that Clara would withdraw from Roberto."

Everyone nodded. In the meantime they had arrived at Alvaro's car. "To Ramiro" asked Alvaro. "Yes it is late," said Juanma. The others agreed.

They sat down in the living room for a moment. Ramiro had already withdrawn. Mia was very tired and Alvaro said "Come on, let's go to sleep. It was a long, exciting day. And Juanma and Mia, you have to be fit tomorrow."

When Alvaro came out of the bathroom, it looked as if Mia had already fallen asleep. He lay down next to her very carefully when she suddenly turned around and held him tight. She scared him for a Moment and they both had to laugh. Alvaro slipped his arm under Mia and pulled her close. She snuggled into his arms. " What an evening." Mia said softly.

"were you scared" asked Alvaro.

"Yes a little. But you were there. I also felt somehow well protected." she said.

"I like to hear that," said Alvaro.

He squeezed her tighter again. He breathed in the scent of her hair and just felt happy.

Mia opened her eyes and turned to him. She put her arms around his neck and closed her eyes again. "Can you even breathe like that?" Alvaro asked softly with a grin in his voice. Mia shook her head and pulled away from him. He stroked her face.

"I'm happy to see you on stage again tomorrow," he said softly. "This is your realm. You shine when you sing."

Mia smiled at him. "I only shine for you".

"I feel that" said Alvaro and snuggled up against her again.

Zoe and Juanma were also deep in conversation. "Do you think Clara is mad at Roberto?" asked Zoe.

"I don't think so. I think she was a bit shocked. But I had the impression that everything was ok in the end"

"It would be bad for both of them. I have the feeling that  both wake the best in each other. Clara has become much more self-confident and Roberto is really calm and loving." said Zoe.

Juanma smiled. "I thought so too. Except for the thing with the boys, it was a great evening."

He took Zoe in his arms. "Not quite as great as our evening for us, though." he said softly. Zoe nodded.

"Yes, I enjoyed the evening too. It was really nice."

"I'm always happy that you came into the room behind the gym that evening. That was our beginning, even if it didn't look like it back then."

Zoe took his hand. "It moved a lot... this evening. Even for me. I can't explain it."

"You don't have to either. The important thing is that it is so and that we are together. I don't need any explanations, I just need you."

Zoe took him closer in his arms again. "And tomorrow you will sing again with our best friend."

Juanma nodded.

"Are you nervous" asked Zoe.

"So far, no more or less than usual." said Juanma. "The first time I was very nervous. But now I'm used to it," he said, and raised his nose in the air grinning. Zoe laughed. "May I ask you something? "

"Sure," said Juanma.

"But I don't want to annoy you"

"Just ask," said Juanma, running his finger over her nose.

"About Mia ... you have something like  ... a connection .. how does it work?"

"That's difficult to answer, it's just there sometimes. Mia came to school and she saw me without reservation. But she also told me if she was mad at me, when I have done something wrong  We talked a lot and intensely. I  very quickly built up intense feelings for her. And when she decided on Alvaro, I thought someone would tear my heart out of my chest. "

Zoe had taken his hand.

"Is it really okay if I talk to you about Mia like that?" Juanma asked in between.

When Zoe nodded, he continued. "When you found me in the room, she was with Alvaro at his home. In return, I was so looking forward to her staying with me the other weekend. And when she cried that night, she didn't need me either explain something, I just knew it. The next day, when I wanted to think about it, you were there. You took my hand as a matter of course, listened to me. The connection to her has remained and maybe even deeper after all didn't think that would be possible. "

He took Zoe in his arms. "You then showed me that I can fall in love again despite the connection. And Mia was right. We won't lose each other. At the beginning I thought  Alvaro is friends with me more out of a sense of duty. But now I can't even remember what it was like not to be friends with him.

Zoe caressed him the whole time, now she took him in her arms. She was glad that everything was as it was. And she was also glad that Juanma still had Mia as a friend. The two needed each other.
