Tini's pov

-morning-

*I came to the kitchen but nothing. No good smelling breakfast on the table or Jorge standing at the cooker. It's his turn to make breakfast though? I turned around and there he stood. With perfectly combed hair and clothes on point.*

J: Good morning, you look very pretty, considering that it's so early to even get up

T: Good morning, thank you but it's nine in the morning. Not that early, you know

J: I was just overreacting a tiny little bit. Shall we go out? 

T: Yeah

*He offered me his arm like a gentleman he is and we left the house. We walked in a cafeteria and sat at an empty table, far away from the others. After ordering coffee and some sandwiches, Jorge looked at me with a smile*

J: Do you like it here?

T: Yes of course

J: Tell me, what is it like in your world?

T: Food didn't change much. Technology has made a big progress, I don't even know how to explain it all to you. We have telephones that we carry in our pockets. The only thing I love here and there the same, is music.

J: And... what about people there?

T: The people have changed too. Not in appearance but in the way they behave. I love the people here. You are so friendly. And not afraid to reach out to a lonely crying stranger like me

J: Ah...

*Silence took over us. I had so many more questions but they all vanished as soon as I looked at her. She was looking at me too, thinking about something.*

T: Have you ever been in love?

J: Wow, I didn't expect you'd ask me this

T: I'm sorry if it's too personal. It's just... Cande and Ruggero are together. Alba likes Facu. And you?

J: Well, I was in love once. But she dumped me 

T: Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't want to hurt you or...

J: No, that's okay...

*I placed my hand on his, comforting him from the sudden attack.*

T: It's not. I started talking about this and called the memories out.

*I smiled and looked at our hands. So did he.*

J: You have a nice ring

T: Thank you, it's from my boyfriend.

J: Oh...

*They gave us our order and we started eating. After breakfast, we went on the street again and started walking further*

T: Where are we going now?

J: That's a secret

T: Okay? I trust you

*Suddenly, we heard someone yelling Jorge's name. It was coming from behind... Jorge pulled me closer to him and sighed*

J: Oh no...
