Why did he say that he  won't be here tomorrow morning?

He's Don, this is his house.

Why does he want to leave?

I do not understand ?

Olga: (looking at Massimo and Laura) My sweetheart! Sometimes adults don't fight because they are mad at each other.

Sometimes they fight because they are Stubborn!

Maya: What does stubborn mean?

Olga: We are stubborn when we do something we know is wrong, just because we are angry.

Or when those who love us want to help us, but we refuse their help.

Maya: I think I understand.

For example, Mommy was stubborn, when even though she was sick, she refused when you and uncle want to take her to the hospital.

After hearing the little girl's answer, Domenico's and Olga's eyes turned towards Laura, who immediately looked down, sensing what was to come.

Massimo clenches his fists and looks at the 3, waiting for answers.

Massimo: (angry) What's going on?

What is Maya talking about?

Laura, how did you get to the hospital?

Massimo puts his hand on Laura's shoulders, turning her to face him.

You could read the worry on his face.

Massimo breathing deeply and addressing himself with all the calmness he was capable of at that moment.

Massimo: Baby girl, for God's sake, what happened?

How did you get to the hospital?

Are you ok?

Laura looks at him in amazement, listening to the concern in his voice.

Massimo starts gesturing, looking into Laura's eyes, looking for answers.

The tense moment is interrupted suddenly by a soft cry.

Maya: (piangendo) Ma... Massimo, cosa ti è successo?

Maya: (crying) Ma... Massimo, what happened to you?

La tua mano sanguina!!

Your hand is bleeding!!

Massimo trying to hide his hand behind his back.

Massimo: Piccolo amore, per favore non piangere!

Massimo: Little love, please don't cry!

Non è successo niente, non preoccuparti!

Nothing happened, don't worry!

Maya runs to Massimo.

Maya: Mostrami la tua mano!

Maya: Show me your hand!

Massimo: Amore mio, non c'è bisogno! Non è niente di grave!

Massimo: My love, no need! It's nothing serious!

Maya: Esattamente, perché non è niente di grave, voglio vedere.

Maya: Exactly, because it's nothing serious, I want to see.

Before Massimo could react, little Maya sneaks behind him.

As soon as she sees his hand full of blood, the little girl starts crying extremely loudly.

Maya: (voce tremante) Stai sanguinando copiosamente, come puoi dire di non avere niente?

Maya: (voice shaking) You're bleeding profusely, how can you say you have nothing?

Perché mi hai mentito Massimo? Perché?

Why did you lie to me Massimo? Why?

Laura interfere trying to control her emotions.

Laura: Massimo, my angel speak in English please! I don't understand nothing!

Massimo knelt in front of little Maya who was still crying.

Massimo: Little miracle , please look at me!

Maya: You lied to me Don Massimo!

I thought we were friends, but now I understand how wrong I was. 

You too lied to me, just like my mother.

Massimo: Princess I don't...

Maya: I thought a Don, never lies.

I know we have only known each other for a few hours, but you must know something very important about me, Don Massimo Torricelli, namely the fact that I get very, very upset when I am lied to.

I dislike it when I'm treated like a baby who doesn't understand nothing.
