At that time, when Roland was getting ready to go through the door, his phone rang.
- Hey, Roland, - was heard a pleasant female voice. - There's Lucy.
- Lucy? Are you sure you entered the correct number?
- Definitely, - a woman laughed. - You have given me your phone number, when celebrated your Birthday at a nightclub, remember? You played piano very nice.
- Mmm... - Roland tried remember. - Maybe... Can we meet in Fern park?
- Fern park?
- Yes, I'm just preparing to go there with my son and sister.
- Great, I'll be there!
When Roland saw blonde young woman coming to him, he remembered her. She stood before him, when he played the piano in night club.

- Yes, Lucy, I remember you, - Roland nodded smiling. - I'm sorry I was so drunk that night...
- It's ok, - she chuckled sitting before him at the chess table in the park. - It was your Birthday, so you had a right to get drunk.
- It's ok, - she chuckled sitting before him at the chess table in the park. - It was your Birthday, so you had a right to get drunk.
Roland was surprised how was easy to talk to Lucy, she was very intelligent and easy going girl.
- My life wasn't easy... - Lucy told him about herself, when they cloudgazed laying on the ground. - My mom left me, when I was teen girl. She died immediately when she was hit by a car. Then I stayed totally alone, although aunt took me to her home, but... Then I met a man, who was much older than me, got pregnant. Later I got pregnant again. No meaning in my life, although I never give up and live for my children. I just learnt many bad things about people and this world. I hardly trust someone, Roland.
- But you trust me, if you talk to me, - Roland smiled.
- Yes, that's a true... - Lucy agreed. - I've noticed at once that you are very nice man, Roland.
- Thank you... And don't be sad and disappointed, - he squeezed the girl's hand gently. - Not all people are pigs... If you need a friend, I'll be your friend, ok?
They looked at each other in the eyes.
- Ok, - said Lucy. - Thank you, Roland.

They looked at each other in the eyes.
- Ok, - said Lucy. - Thank you, Roland.
When they rose from the ground they embraced each other tightly and stood long time holding each other. Roland understood Lucy, although he never had to live on the street, he was rich and didn't know what means to endure hunger and cold. He honestly liked Lucy and wanted to help her.
- Would you agree to be my girlfriend, Lucy? - suddenly Roland asked the girl holding her hands.
- No... - Lucy shook her head looking at him scared and stepped back. - Sorry, but no...
Roland felt disappointed a bit, but he understood that it's just hard to believe to her, that Roland will not hurt her like other men she met before.
- Sorry... Sorry, Roland, - Lucy turned away covering her face with hand.
- It's ok... I understand... So I am sorry, - he said silently watching the girl.

- But it doesn't mean that I don't like you, - Lucy said looking at Roland. - I really like you very much and I want to date with you and know you better.
- Really? - Roland smiled widely. Lucy's words made him happy again. - That's great, Lucy! Then I'll call you soon again!
- Of course! I'll be waiting for your call!
- Really? - Roland smiled widely. Lucy's words made him happy again. - That's great, Lucy! Then I'll call you soon again!
- Of course! I'll be waiting for your call!
Roland came back home feeling very happy that evening. Finally he met a woman he'll not want to forget.
