Jorge's pov

*Here she is. Lodovica standing right in front of us. I absolutely forgot that she would be alive and I don't know how to explain this situation. I tried to get some help from Tini but she was as clueless as me*

T: Lodovica, I-

L: This is my studio. Sit down

*We sat on the sofa and Lodovica started walking around the room*

L: How did you get here Jorge? Back then, when I asked Alba, she said that you moved to another city, not another century.

J: This will sound insane but I travelled in time. No, wait. Diego probably told you about it though. Why are you asking when your boyfriend told you everything?

L: Don't talk about him.

T: Diego should've not kidna-

L: Can you stop bringing him up?! Can't he rest in peace??

*She snapped at us, making us sit there like statues. Lodovica was getting frustrated by our presence *

T: I am... we're sorry to hear that

L: We got married soon after you disappeared. But he didn't accept the fact that you're gone and searched for you two. I knew that he was not okay but couldn't help in any way. The obsession took over him completely and he ended up committing suicide.

J: I'm sorry Lodovica, we-

L: Don't say anything. As long as you got your happy ending, right? Do you realize that Diego died because of you?

J: What are you saying? Is it my fault that he-

L: I never want to see you again Jorge. You ruined his and my life. I still miss him every. single. day.

*She was about to burst in tears but her pride knew better. Instead, she focused on the landscape that was outside of the window.*

T: We should leave now... you will never see us again, Lodovica

L: Martina, I want you to work here

T: I don't want to work without Jorge.

L: This studio is the best in the city. You want to throw the chance away because of him?

*She is right. I messed this up. We came here for a job, afterall, not to talk about personal issues. I leaned against Martina's ear and whispered*

J: Do it for me. I want your dream to come true.

T: But-

J: She accepts.

*I spoke on behalf of Tini, not letting her reject and miss this chance.*

L: Great. We will start working tomorrow. Good bye.

*We walked away from the stuido in a very different feeling than we expected. This was worse than we imagined.*

T: Well... at least Diego won't find you

J: Tini, someone died because of me. I will never forgive myself.

T: He was your best friend, right?

J: Huh?

T: Back then, I found a picture of you and Diego as children

J: Oh... well yes, were friends.

*The short flashbacks of my childhood came to mind. The times were so carefree and fun thanks to Diego. And we let it all go.*

T: Come on, don't be sad. I know it's hard but-

J: Let's not talk about this anymore. I need to clear my head. I need to find myself a job first, right?
