Massimo: (continuing to tickle the little girl, making her laugh out loud) hmm let me think a little.  What do I get if I stop tickling?

Maya: (laughing out loud) Anything, I promise I'll do anything, just stop!  Please!

Massimo: (stopping tickling the little girl and trying to look at her as seriously as possible) So I'm listening Miss Maya Clara Biel!  What offer do you have for me? 

Keep in mind that I am a picky negotiator!

Maya takes a deep breath to stop laughing.
Cross her arms and give Massimo a serious look.

Maya: Are you sure you want to negotiate with me Don Massimo Torricelli?

Massimo: (trying to keep a straight face) Absolutely, Miss Maya Biel!

Maya: Do you accept a challenge?

Massimo: (a little surprised) What challenge?

Maya: If what I can offer you is something you cannot refuse, you should agree to do for 24 hours only what Matteo and I will decide!

What do you say Don, do you accept the challenge?

Massimo: Hmm sounds interesting.  But if you lose what happened then?

Maya: (smiling) That can't happen, I always win!  But still , if I lose, you will decide what I should do for 24 hours!

Massimo: Alright, Miss Biel, it seems to me a fair negotiation.  I agree !

Maya: Don, are you sure? 

I warn you, my offer is one you will not be able to refuse! 

I know you are not used to losing, but this time you will lose!  Are you ready ?

Massimo: (trying hard to control his laughter) I'm ready!

Maya: Don Massimo, as you have already noticed, I am a very intelligent princess.

And I can tell when those around me are not telling the truth.

Massimo (confused): What do you mean?

Maya: You keep telling me that I'm the most beautiful princess in the all world!

Massimo: And it's true! You really are the most beautiful princess in the all world! I did not lie!

Maya: Hmm I noticed that there is a person you look at in a very special way.

Massimo: In a special way?

Maya: Yes, Massimo, I already told you that I am no longer a baby and I understand many things.

There is a person in this room that you look at in a very special way.

Massimo: (completely disarmed, not knowing what answer to expect from the little girl) Who is that person ?

Maya smiles and points her finger at Laura.

The little girl's words and gesture leave the 4 adults speechless!

They looked at each other not knowing how to react!

After a few moments of silence, Laura decides to approach Massimo and Maya.

Laura lets herself down to be at the little one's level.

Laura and Massimo look at each other, trying to find a way out of this situation.

Maya: (not understanding the two's silence) Hey, you two, what's going on?

Massimo: My miracle, I don't know what you understand by all this, but I...

Maya: (smiling and addressing to Massimo in Italian) Che succede,  Don Massimo, hai delle emozioni?

Maya: What's going on, Don Massimo, do you have emotions?

Maya: Non preoccuparti, ho capito quello che dovevo capire!

Maya: Don't worry, I understood what I needed to understand!
