Far away in an eastern European country, a 30 year old girl is living her life like everyone one of us. She works daily and travels long way in the dusty Bucharest just like so many other people do, trying to face every day for living. Her life see...

OK, I need to remain stuck on this chair for the rest of the day and someone throw cold water on me, please, please, because I keep on reading the message over and over again and I am asking myself "Is this for real? Harry really did this?" I need to be pinched or something. But yes, it was happening.
You know, I cannot believe women can be so dumb sometimes; not all of them, just me in this case. "It is just a message!" I said to myself as I was trying to bring myself back to life again. I know it is from the man that woke up something special in me, that made me feel something I almost forgot to feel for quite a long time, but still... These being said, I could summarize my reaction in this way: my ears stopped, my brain was spinning into a storm of some kind, my cheeks were turning into a volcano, as I felt them more than red and I was practically realizing I was just sitting there, like a complete idiot, with the phone in my hand, staring at it. I must have looked completely hilarious, as Lou came close to me and said:
- Miha, are you alright? Do you need a glass of water, anything? We're about to begin. Is everything alright? You keep on looking at your phone for some time and I am worried, did you get any bad news or anything?
I raised my head and the only thing which I could clearly think about in those very seconds was the fact that, for anything in the world, I didn't want Lou to find out the reason I was looking the way I did – and which was way too obvious – just because Harry sent me a message. I needed to calm down. Very weird was the fact that I only calmed down when I was next to him. In all the other circumstances, I was not acting my age and I started to feel ashamed of myself at a certain point. Thank God I wasn't worse when I was in front of him, as it would all have been a disaster...
I urgently needed to let Laura know – know that what we planned a day before will have to wait a bit, to know that for I didn't know how many times, she was right again with what she said.
- I'm... I have... I mean, Lou, I'm sorry, may I go out and make a phone call very quick? I have to cancel something; do you mind if I go out a bit? I promise to be back quickly.
- Sure, don't worry. Take your time and just let me know if there's anything I can do for you, Lou told me and for an instant I had the impression she was looking at me as if I was some kind of alien, sitting there, in front of her, naked eventually.
As I got out of the building, I called Laura who answered me half asleep:
- No better moment to call me, just as I was dreaming I was eating icecream on a top of a mountain with the boys and...
