The silhouette became clearer to the point of shaking his hand when he finished climbing, it seemed so real, a warmth that only one person made him feel a few years ago ..

- Charity? ...

- Sorry? Mr. Barnum, are you okay?

His eyesight was clarified leaving him to see more defined, was it Mr. Carlyle who seemed to visit him ?, Who would say that someone like him would go to see him but for what reason or would do, after all he never gave his address or at least a companion said and could not he have been working at the box office ...?

- What do I owe your pleasant visit?

- I just came to apologize, about last night, but I think I found him busy ..

The young man's gaze went to the clothes he was wearing at that moment, someone with a dirty mind would think that they caught him insane or in his absence some decent person would think that he rested all day for some reason, maybe illness or laziness as happens to some.

- Oh, do you mean clothes? I'm sorry for my presentation, but I was coming back from making some arrangements

- I'm sorry he misunderstood, but hey, as I said I just came to apologize formally and ask permission to attend a presentation tomorrow, of course if you allow it.

Since when you asked for permission to attend something for which you would pay, in the theater you do not ask for permission, you only buy the ticket and it is already there, but there must have been some reason to ask for this or that you wanted Mr. Barnum to think. moments for Barnum seemed unforgettable, coexisting with the person for whom he felt something, but not everything was happiness ..

- And if he finds out? It would be ruined ...

That was the question that was going through his mind back then, but really he cared what other people say? After all, not for anything defends his fellow protesters who came every day and even sometimes waited outside to get them to start insulting him for no reason, after all, we are all human no matter what.

- There is no problem Mr. Carlyle, just avoid those comments even if it is in front of my colleagues and me.

- Do not worry, it will not happen again and again an apology for that.

The talk seemed nice, the night helped in the moment, but where had the reflector come from? or simply it was the moonlight, after all they say that love sometimes distorts reality, but because of Barnum's bad luck his dear friend did not seem to feel anything, did not hesitate to get questions that would bother later, but he certainly appreciated these moments with him, he certainly would not know if they would stay or from one day to the next they would leave.

- It was a more entertaining evening than I expected, but I went to retire my dear friend ..

That meeting of nothingness seemed a blink of an eye, he wanted it to be like that every day, to see him in the day, afternoon and night, to embrace him and to love him as he once did with his beloved Charity, to feel the heat of a family again.

- Mr. Carlyle, wait!

A decision that would change his life for a moment, making his heart beat faster than normal, a sign of being nervous, seeing how he approached him or that is what he expected ..

- Yes? Something is happening, Mr. Barnum?

- Before I forgot, tomorrow just say it's on my side, that's all, good night ...

Nobody has the courage to say anything that can change the course of a flourishing friendship, or is what he did not want at that time.

Both retired to their respective homes, by his luck he was close and would have liked to host him, but it did not seem like the moment, he just lay down on his bed and close his eyes to start a new day, which would be different from the others.

I wanted to take this space again to say that within a few chapters there will be a song from the soundtrack, as well as give a notice of three chapters that could be considered "filler" but I will use them as Flasback to develop the story better, so I regret that and an apology ..

Some comedy to make it happy news ... (?)

When Phillip arrives at the house.

And he says he has a day off.

Like the neighbors are not.

#Barlyle wanted to thank this person especially for telling me the name that is being used for this Shipp.
