Tini's pov

*Me and Jorge spent the day driving around, exploring more and more of the city. I am happy that I can show him my life, teach him about every small and big thing we have. We arrived home and didn't even remove our shoes properly when my mum started bombarding us with questions*

Tm: So? How was it? Who did you meet? Did you get in?

T: Mum calm down, we'll see in a few days

Tm: Great! The dinner is nearly done, come in

*After dinner, me and Jorge sprawled in bed and I turned my laptop on*

J: I still don't get how many things have changed since the 50s'

T: Me neither. But I know the best from the 50s'.

J: Oh, what is it?

T: You, of course

*He tried not to laugh at my cheesy remark, clicking on the real estate website instead*

T: Let's choose a house for us

*After what felt like hours of searching and comparing, we found the one that fit our needs.*

T: If we get the job, we can buy it soon. Or at least get a good loan

J: It's a well paid job so I suppose a few months should be enough? We can pay it off quite quickly too.

T: Right... let's go to sleep now, it's late. I'm tired

J: Good night then, my love

...

*I'm making breakfast today for the entire family. Everyone is still asleep, even though it's nine already. Well, at least I have some time for myself. Suddenly I felt two hands on my waist and a chin on my shoulder*

T: Good morning Jorge

J: Morning, can I help you?

T: Yeah, could you please-

*My phone rang on the table and Jorge ran off to answer. It took him a while to remember how to accept the call but he made it*

J: Hello? I see, okay... thank you.

*He hang up and I looked at him curiously*

T: Who called?

J: That woman from yesterday. She wants us to come

T: Let's eat breakfast first

...

*When we arrived at the studio, we headed right to the office. A secretary opened and let us in. We faced the woman again, with her big hat. She stood up and looked out of the window.*

??: Hello

T: Hello

??: I have some news about your application and thought you would like to hear it in person. Welcome to our studio Miss Stoessel.

*Tini jumped in my arms from happiness. I knew she would make it!*

T: Thank you! When can we start working?

??: We? I only mentioned you though?

T: You... but Jorge...

??: Jackie, can you go out please? I want to talk to them in private

*She said to the secretary who left immediately. Me and Jorge were standing there confused, like two dumbfounded puppies...*

??: Jorge, you sang the song excellently. Like it's your song.

J: Um... thank you. It was a nice song

??: Are you sure the song isn't yours?

*I felt the atmosphere getting tense. Jorge stuttered, not knowing how to react. Is the woman being serious?*

J: Y-yes, the song isn't mine...

??: You still don't know who I am? I thought we knew each other better than that.

*The woman took off her hat,allowing us to look in her face . She did get a few more wrinkles, her face expression was dull and her eyes were missing something. But we still recognized her easily. Lodovica.*
