The next morning he is awaken by the sun tickling his nose. He blinks a few times before he opens his eyes completely. He gets up and stretches his arms high up in the air. He turns off his alarm. Luckily he woke up before the beeping noise was filling the room, making it's way into his dreams. He slept very well. He's fit. Which is good cause he has plans for today. But first he needs to call someone. Susie, his general drudge. Where is his iPhone? He walks in the kitchen. Ah he left it on the counter. He dials the number.
"Susie... oh Good Morning Ben!"
"Good Morning!" He smiles.
Susie is a sweetheart. The good soul of the agency. And if you're searching for new cleaners or the best flower shop, or you messed up your production schedule, all you have to do is to call her. She knows so many people and always has an open ear.
"What can I do for you Ben?"
"I asked myself if you could find someone for me."
"Sure. Who is it about?"
"Umm it's private and..."
"Ohhh Ben! What's her name?"
"Haha! You know me too well. All I know is that her name is Laura and that she stays in a hotel near the theater."
"Oh that's not much."
He sighs. "I know."
"I'll try my best. I'll find her for you."
If anyone can do this than Susie.
"Great. Thanks."
"Have a wonderful day!"
"You too. Bye!"
He puts the kettle on and looks out of the window. The sun is shining. The sky is cloudless. Mother Nature shows itself at it's best. Mother Nature. Somehow he connects this with something. Yeah right. A quote from the little notebook he got from the girl who is spinning in his mind. He opens it and reads out loud.
"Mother Nature grabbed my hand and said: Come on! Follow me! Don't be afraid! Wander with open eyes and an open mind! Breathe in the fresh air! Feel the life around you! The earth is giving you everything you need! All you need to learn is to listen. Trust me! Do it! You will find yourself and your heart again. And you will be a different, a better you!"
He really likes that quote. The author is Laura Winter. Hmm. He's never heard of her. Could it be? It's worth the try.
He calls Susie again.
"Susie try it with Laura Winter!"
