Yes, it was a miracle, but it was real and it wasn't a dream. And now she prepares lunch for them.
"So... What do you think about holidays?" Berta asked Charlene. "If you really want to spend your holidays in Oasis Springs I can talk to my parents."
"And they will agree?"
"I even don't have doubts. My parents always were very nice and friendly to my friends, "Berta smiled warmly.
"Oh, how I'm envy you, sweetie!" A sad smile appeared on Charlene's face. "If I could say the same about my father..."
"Why?" Berta was surprised. "Does it mean that your dad hates your friends?"
"No..." Charlene shook her head. "It means that he always tries to keep me under his control... And he decides who can be my friend who can't..."
"Oh, no..." Berta looked at her girlfriend. "It's just..."
"Yes..." Charlene nodded. "It's horrible... But still... I'll try to talk to him. Maybe he'll allow me to go to you or... I'll think something..."
"What do you mean?" Berta chuckled.
"Something what will help me to come to you", Charlene winked at Berta and took thought.
Berta looked carefully at Charlie. Even she felt that she would afraid of Charlene's dad.
"So are you ready?"
"Yesss..." Berta nodded. "I'm already counting the last hours!" The girl chuckled happily. "I can't wait when I'll see my friends!"
"Oh, I can imagine", Charlene smiled. "I'd like to meet your friends. I don't doubt that they are cool like you."
"Yes, they are, but I am just who I am..." Berta blushed.
"No... You are special..." Charlene smiled looking at Berta's eyes and making her blush even more.
"What?" Charlene chuckled.
"Nothing... I'm just... You make me feel..."
"How?"
"As if I could fly," Berta smiled.
When Berta lifted her head again Enrique was gone. She noticed how the guy who sat at the bar looks at her with a smile on his face. Berta's heart trembled in joy. She knew that guy. It was Lucas.
