the view, Carolina looked at her phone to see if she has any messages from her boys or if someone had called her, but there was nothing, which is a good sign.
Feeling her muscles in her legs still contracting, she decides to rest a little more, choosing to distract herself with a new iPhone application which her boys downloaded for her to enjoy. Saying, she should get a boyfriend instead of worrying so much about them.
Once she had figured out how to work with the application, she found out it was really easy, actually just needed to slide her finger to the left meaning she wasn’t interested, sliding with the finger to the right would mean she is interested in the man in the photo, and all this only based on a couple of photos.
Easy enough – She thought.
As she sees photos from men available in her area, she sees a photo with a man’s face drawing her attention.
He is not gorgeous - she thought - but he is not ugly either.
The photo showed only the face of a man the same age as Carolina. He has something but she can’t identify exactly what it was. Looking for a few minutes, she saw his intense gaze, what really caught Carolina’s attention was his intense blue eyes, they were somehow filled with a hypnotic power, his expression was hard and authoritative, almost touching arrogance, but not quite.
She slides her finger to the left, opting for no.
Carolina returned home physically tired but at the same time psychologically much lighter, receiving fresh air, even in the middle of the city and seeing thousands of people was for Carolina very relaxing.
At night, sometimes when she fell asleep and entered into the world of dreams, she dreamed of him.
The man she’s in love with.
She dreamt she is with the man sitting by the water, barefooted on the sand facing each other; he touches Carolina’s face gently with his hand, he is staring at her with his passionate blue eyes.
In the dream, she feels incredibly loved, when she woke up, she can still sense the most amazing feeling.
In her dreams she doesn’t know where the beach is, she only sees the light yellow sand, the beach surrounding has some rocks, no houses to be seen, just a cliff of rocks and then a huge desert beach.
She remembered there was a black Range Rover on top of the beach, with the front wheels on the rocks, next to a wooden pathway already with its colour eaten up by the sun. She knew the Jeep was his.
Carolina was never able to see with clarity his face because of the brightness of the dream, she thought it came from the sun, but she wasn’t sure.
In the dream, she could sometimes stare at his blue eyes just for a few seconds, sometimes she could even see his beard and his figure against the sun, revealed a tall and defined body figure.
There was never more than that, she could never go beyond that, sometimes she tried harder to see him better in the dream, always struggling to see him in a much clearer way, but the light wouldn’t let her.
She was sure that in the dream there was a mutual feeling, she felt that they liked each other very much by the way they were looking at each other.
In real life, Carolina has only a few friends and they were always very engaged with family and Carolina didn’t feel it’s right to bother them and challenge them to go out with her for dinner or see a movie. And the other reason is that she has a very different taste from her friends, they didn’t really appreciate going out to fancy restaurants, or watch a play in the west end. That was Carolina’s best night out.
Most of the time she wants to go out, she goes out with her sons and sometimes she goes out alone, as it happens regularly. She got used to it and she doesn’t mind, although like everybody else, she misses romantic dinners, walks in the park or going to a museum on a date. It’s so much fun.
By the next day arriving at work 15 minutes before 9 a.m., she had plenty of time to send messages to the boys to make sure
