I got up and shook the grass of my cloak just to see his back.
I started wiping my tears away as he disappeared into the house.
When I return, he will not be here and the matter will be resolved.
It was ten-thirty in the morning when Thea's voice began to echo through the room in which I slept in.
- "Sunlight! Wake up!"
Soon Sammy's footsteps were heard.
- "Girl, wake up, I'm taking you for a nice breakfast."
"Please leave..." I muttered.
Opening my eyes, I saw Tea unfold the curtains from the window.
Sammy sat on the bed next to me looking at me curiously.
- "Tea, how about you get ready while I wake little missy here?"
-"Okay! But hurry so we don't arrive at lunch time for breakfast."
When the door closed behind her, Sammy spoke angrily.
- "Why were you crying?"
My eyes must have been swollen if he could conclude something like that.
"Don't bother me"
- "Lucia... You look swollen. If the voice of reason sees you in that state you will need a team of lawyers to get out!"
He was telling the truth, I still haven't planned to break the news to my unfortunate bff.
My life is still dear to me, I will do it before I leave for France, the dust will settle down till then.
Uh.. How does that saying go...? "Anything you can't do today, leave it for tomorrow"- I wonder if it can be changed into: "Anything you can't do today, leave it for a distant future"?
"Could you give me my sunglasses?"
- "Where from?"
he began clumsily rummaging through my bag.
"No, you dummy. Ask Thea for one from her huge collection. She can't wear them all at once anyway."
I got dressed while Sammy brought me my glasses and got down to the car quickly. I didn't want her to catch me without them.
"We'll have breakfast outside."
I was talking to Sam as Tea approached us.
- "Why?"
I looked at him angrily.
- "Ah, because of the glasses."
"Yeah, so I don't have to take them off until we get home. You really found a great moment to take us out for breakfast." I grumbled.
- "Let's go!" Tea said contentedly.
- "Let's go to the square and have breakfast in the garden! They have wonderful croissants there..." Sammy was blabbering on, and I... I felt like the train ran me over.
We sat in the square, in a wonderful restaurant, in a comfortable garden set, having breakfast.
- "Are you staying for just a few days, or..?"
Tea has always been the most curious of the three of us.
"I don't know yet but yes, I'm planning to stay for just a few days. But that's enough about me!"
