Tini's pov

-next day-

*Finally weekend. Two days without work. After breakfast, I took the guitar and went to the park near our house. I can get at least a piece of nature here. I sat on a bench and started playing random notes on the guitar... after some minutes I also got lyrics. I was playing the song again and again untill someone tapped on my shoulder and interrupted my train of thoughts.*

T: Oh, Peter, hi

P: Hi beauty

*He kissed my cheek and sat next to me.*

P: What were you singing?

T: A new song. It's not finished yet, I just started it.

P: The song is wonderful

T: Thank you

*He looked at my ring and smiled*

P: I'm happy that you're still wearing it.

T: I will wear it as long as our love exists.

*He leaned in to kiss me but his phone rang*

P: Hello? Uhm... I'm coming! Sorry Tini but I have to go. The director called and I have to-

T: That's okay, just go

P: Bye! I love you!

*He left and so did I. Upon arriving home, I saw my mum preparing lunch*

T: Hi mum

Tm: Hi Tini, could you please help me here?

T: Yes

*I started chopping the vegetables, smelling the fragrance of home cooked meal my mum was preparing next to me.*

T: Where is Fran?

Tm: He's in his room.

T: And-

Tm: Your dad? He's in his lab again.

T: Since?

Tm: Since six am.

T: This is not good.

Tm: I don't like it either. Should we stop him?

T: No, he's already too far to stop. We'll let him finish this and then stop him.

Tm: Okay...

-lunch time-

Tm: Meal is ready!!

*Fran ran downstairs and sat towards me. After a while, our mum joined us*

Tm: Enjoy your meal.

*Everyone started eating except me*

F: Aren't you going to eat?

T: I'm waiting for dad.

Tm: Dad won't come. I had to take it downstairs for him

T: Oh... okay

*I started eating slowly... this is the first time we're eating lunch without him. Is that invention that important?*
