- Are you bringing me to your place?

- Yeah – I look at him, while I open the building door – if we're about to drink, we should do it in private – he laughs, as we enter to go to the elevator. It is a small ride, since I live on the first floor.

- I'm not that bad when I drink – he says when we exit the elevator.

- But I am – we both laugh, and I open my home door – welcome to my safe heaven.

- Wow – he stares at the hallway door, looking at the photos – you have us here! – he points to the photo Emeraude saw when she was here – this is so cool – he starts to go through all the photos – did you took them all?

- Yes – I leave mythings on top of a chair, leading the way to the living room / kitchen /dinning room.

- Your house is so beautiful!

- Thank you – I look at him – make yourself at home.

- Thanks – he sits in one of the round benches, looking at me – and thank you for bringing me with you.

- I always took care of the lost causes.

- Very funny – I go to the fridge, grabbing two beers and going back to him to give one to Dominic.

- Here.

- Thanks – I go to the couch, taking my shoes off, to sit next. We both take a sip of the beer, looking at each other for a while – have you found the secret admirer yet?

- You know about that?

- Emeraude told me the other day – he gets up, sitting next to me.

- I still don't know who he is – I take another sip of the beer – and I may have scared him.

- And why is that?

- I left him a note... and he didn't answer back. And the flowers stopped coming.

- I think he had some kind of personal stuff to deal with.

- No way! – he drinks his beer, while I slap him on his leg – you know who he is!?

- Maybe I do, maybe I don't – he shrugs his shoulders, laughing next – I can pull some strings for you.

- You can?

- Yeah... you don't deserve it, but I'm a good person.

- Can you tell me who he is?

- I swore I wouldn't tell anything.

- But we're friends now – I lean towards him, with my knees on the couch, like begging for this miracle – please.
