'it's a powerful symbol a circle. I know, I know there could never have been another. I knew it then and I know it now.

-"hello sleeping beauty".

- "buongiorno, why do you call me that?"

- "do you feel like you moved last night? To have walked to come to bed?"

- "hmmm no indeed I was wondering"

- "maybe because your prince charming carried you to bed and you didn't even wake up"

- "I don't have a prince charming... On the other hand I have a sublime queen who is also my wife..." Answered Carina while coming to kiss her.

- "your queen?!"

-"I would have said my living goddess, but I want you to be able to pass through the doors at the barracks".

- "oh you know the doors are very big and wide in the barracks, they are made for stretchers and everything..."

-"But you know, just because I don't say it doesn't mean I don't mean it Maya. You are my living goddess" she added against her lips.
The alarm clock had sounded bringing them out of their bubble.
"Can I throw your damn alarm clock out the window?!"

-my damn alarm clock?!

- "yes your damn alarm clock... Always ringing when I'm about to make love to you or when I'm having a really nice dream"

- "you can, but know that I programmed it to wake us up at the last minute. Which means you only have thirty minutes before you have to leave for work!"

- "Thirty minutes?! But bambina, I have to wash my hair and do my hair and..."

- "amore, don't worry, you'll be on time for work. Take the bathroom first".

- "ah... Aren't you coming with me?"

- "I start at nine o'clock today..."

- "so you're not coming with me?! ...."

- "to make you late for your appointment with Dr. Bailey?"

- "ummmm no... Okay."

Carina had gone to get ready in fourth gear. She had put on a suit as usual, with a white shirt a little loose, fluid, it was to fall.

By the time she came out of the bathroom, the blonde had made her a coffee in a thermos mug.

- "euuuh.... Are you on there?!"

-"Taste it and if it's gross, well... Don't tell me and throw it out... No yes, tell me".

- "hummmm okay...." She answered shortly after bringing the coffee to her lips
"It's... Actually not that bad... It's actually pretty good."

- "hey!" She said with a big smile

- "how come?"

- "we may have had an intervention that saved a coffee shop a few weeks ago and I asked to take a class... And when you were at work, I went... But I wanted to be sure before I gave you one..."

-"I'm... Impressed" replied the Italian woman, coming to stick her lips to those of her wife. The alarm on her phone that indicated she had to leave had sounded. "Madona..." She said, raising her eyes to the sky before adding "Ti amo Bambina".

The brunette had started to leave in the direction of the door.

- "hep hep hep Ms. DeLuca-Bishop, aren't you forgetting something?!"
