Lea's apartment

Lea rushed into the apartment closing the door behind her, without even bothering to move her suitcase from the entrance she dropped down on the sofa to cry.

After several minutes she looked up, to find the photo she and Nora had taken on the night of their first date at an amusement park on the pier.

"Oh my God Nora, how did we get to this?!"

Drin drin drin

"Hello, Nora?" Lea said answering the call

"No honey, it's mom! How is Nora's family home going? What kind of people are they? When will I get to meet them?"

"Good... now I've gone out for some... how are you at grandma's house?"

"Very well to tell the truth... your father will come too... If you change your mind you can come here for Christmas..."

"Mom, if I had doubts about my choice not to go to you... after what you just said, I understood that I was right!"

"You can't be serious!"

"Because?" Lea asked with obvious irony

"Simply because you can't deny your father..."

"How many times has he asked you about me?"

"Every couple of months..."

"My boss... I found out he's Nora's father... his ex-wife took her away from him..."

"What does this have to do with it?"

"He, every time we met he does nothing but ask me about her!"

"So?"

"Mom, he's a father who cares about his daughter! I haven't seen the man you call my father since I was 14! I don't care about him in my life now!"

"Look, you don't understand darling... he was married and... she"

"My boss got remarried too, he even has two 5-year-olds!"

"What does it have to do with it?"

"He did nothing but try to get back into her life! He didn't abandon his daughter!"

"It doesn't matter the past, as long as he's here now!"

"He is with you, not with me... if he wanted to deal with me he would have called me, and I know for a fact that you gave him my number..."

"But..."

"Bye mom, see you again, Merry Christmas!" Lea said, ending the call

knock knock knock

"I don't want to see anyone!" Lea said, trying to ignore the constant knocking

"Don't you want to hear me either?" Nora said through the closed door

"Nora..." Lea said, running to open the door in a rush

"I'm so sorry Lea... I didn't realize how stupid I was, and I'm sorry I didn't realize how much you were trying to help..."

"Don't worry, I understand that you felt betrayed, I didn't mean to hurt you!"

"I'm the one who should apologize, I reacted the wrong way..."

"Don't worry..."

"But..."

"My sweet speedster, you don't have to worry about anything... I love you and nothing can ever change that!"

"Thank you... I love you too..."

"What a nice scene..."  said a vibrant voice behind them "It will be really fun to ruin it!"
