"Te ves hermosa hoy."
I was about to ask him what it meant.
Hermosa was a bit familiar, though.
I just needed a confirmation,
In order to stop the swirling confusion.
I opened my mouth in order to speak.
But closed it again when the door opened,
And someone took a peak.
I had not heard the knock.
I guess my mind was twisted in wondering knots.
We both turned, and were then face to face with Santiago.
"Good morning, miss. And good morning to you too, Emilio."
We both replied to his greeting.
He smiled. "Umm. If you don't mind. May I borrow Milio for a few minutes? Hope I didn't come at wrong timing."
Emilio turned to me as if seeking my permission.
"Very well then. Santiago, you may take him."
Santiago smiled, and with Emilio, walked out the door.
"Perhaps I should just go to my room and ponder on random stuff some more."
But before I could even stand up from my chair,
I saw a small piece of paper, just laying there.
I took it from his desk.
Weird. I thought. This wasn't here before.
But it seemed as if I underestimated Emilio's speed too much.
For as I unfolded the light brown sheet, a great surprise it was.
Te ves hermosa hoy - you look beautiful today.
