I close the door to Valentin's room and go towards Kiara's, once inside I close the door behind me and turn to Kiara. She looks at me and asks:

-What did he say to you ?

-He told me that if I needed to talk he would be there and that you too of course would be there for me too.

She decides to make a comment and exclaims:

-I didn't know you were still doing that, I should have been more attentive, sorry.

-It's not your fault Kiara I told you that I had stopped and you believed me because you and my best friend and besides it was true it's just today I don't know...

-Okay, let's talk about something else! What is wonderful in this story is that Valentin MY BROTHER who is a little shit first but who goes well with my best friend told her that she could count on him!!!

I dodge a smile:

-Is that what you call changing the subject?

She smiles back at me:

-Yes !

We both burst out laughing. Kiara always manages to cheer me up even in the worst moments and I'm starting to wonder if this is passed down from brother to sister. Once we come to our senses Kiara looks around and exclaims:

-We're going to play a video game

-Which

-Jumanji

She turns towards me with a knowing smile on her lips knowing that I am thinking exactly the same thing as her. I return his knowing smile:

-It's not any Kiara game

-That's why I love it and...

I finished his sentence and knew what he meant:

-We're going to play that.

-Exactly

She gets out of bed and goes to get the game and I get the consoles. Once we have everything ready we turn on the TV and wait for the game to start when the door suddenly opens on Valentin:

-Hi, how are you...

Valentin stops in the middle of his sentence while looking at the TV and our consoles. He exclaims:

-No, don't play...

Her sister doesn't let her brother finish his sentence and instead she finishes it:

-In Jumanji? If we're going to play it.
