Martina's pov

*As I woke up, my eyes darted at the chair, where Jorge was sitting and doing something on his phone*

J: Good afternoon Aurora

*He said, not taking his eyes off the phone screen*

M: Afternoon?

J: Yes. You've slept for four hours. How are you feeling?

M: Good, I think.

*I stood up and walked over to get some water, peeking over his shoulder*

M: What are you playing?

J: I am playing with the Snapchat filtres

*He said and tapped on a circle. In that moment, dog's ears and nose appeared on his face in the camera*

M: What is that?

J: Snapchat. An application where you can try different effects, such as this one. Do you want to try it?

*He asked and handed me his smartphone... It's been five years since I held a phone in my hands. Carefully, I took it from him, sat onm the bed and started playing with the effects. He sat on the bed next to me and everytime fixed every mistake I made with my clumsy fingers.*

M: This is fun

??: Martina. Martina...

*I heard someone whispering my name. At first I didn't know who but then the answer shot me*

M: Jorge, where is Mariana?

J: I placed her up there

*He said and pointed on the top of the wardrobe. Really, Mariana was sitting there, looking at me with rage in her eyes. That made me scared again.*

J: Do you want me to take her down for you?

M: ...n-no. Let's keep playing.

J: Can I take a photo with you?

M: No, no, I am not pretty

J: No, you must be kidding me

M: Look at me. I am not pretty. And I accept it.

J: Don't you dare to say that again. You are gorgeous. On the inside and the outside too.

M: Do you really think that?

J: Do you trust me? Of course I do. Now let's take the photo

*He sat closer and raised the phone up*

J: One two three!

*He pressed the button and I saw the picture*

J: That is an amazing picture

M: Yeah.

*He didn't say anything but kept looking at the screen*

M: If you like the picture that much, set it as a wallpaper

J: ...that's... actually a good idea!

*Jorge squealed happily and started setting things.*

M: I was joking

J: But I am not, look at this

*He said and showed me the screen*

J: This is the best picture I've ever had on my lockscreen
