worries.
Marianne woke up after noon. She went to the kitchen, where Amelia was washing dishes for lunch.
"I thought you were not awake"
"I had fun! I danced a lot!"
She exclaimed and picked up a red apple fruit from the bowl on the table. She bit and looked at Amelia standing in the sink.
"You should have gone with me! There was a man so handsome in dance, Amelia!"
She grimaced. Her cheeks were flushed with anger.
"You should have had a minimum of respect for my late father. You should be ashamed to say such foolish things!"
No regrets, Marianne shrugged again and bit her apple. And the issue between the two women died.

THE SECOND MEETING
A few days later...
Marianne was in the kitchen putting the grocery store in the closet, after she returned home bringing some food missing. At that time, Amelia came to the site to drink water.
"I met my godmother in the city, had many years since I saw her. She invited me to lunch at her home on Sunday"
"And you'll go?" - filled a glass with water and drank seemed thirst..
"Both will go" - She said and closed the cabinet against the wall.
"I do not want to go"
But Marianne tried to convince her. - "You will like my godmother is like Mrs. Clotilde, elderly, poor She loves to have visitors at home...
***
On Sunday, Marianne persuaded Amelia to go to lunch at the home of her godmother. They arrived an hour before lunch, actually to serve the table. Amelia was presented to Mrs. Mirian, and she had a feeling it could be her grandmother.
Later after lunch, the three tasted the sweets made by Mirian.
"I live alone in this big house; sometimes my grandson comes to visit me"
"Now that we are back with my godmother, I will always be here to see you" - Marianne said.
"I hope so, I hope your visit in this house always beloved goddaughter"
After a few minutes, the three went to the room where they enjoyed a delicious tea and toast. But Amelia would not drink tea not used to do in their daily life.
"Excuse me, but I go to the garden to take the air"
"Feel free," said the old frankly.
Amelia smiled and left the house. She stood enjoying the beautiful garden. The butterflies flew over some flowers.
Looking ahead, she saw a black horse approached. She stared at him, then the animal stopped near her and a young man gets down.
Amelia frowned as he looked at the child's face and realized it was the same person who had offered her a ride few days ago.
"You're the guy who gave me a ride the other day?" - She squeezed her eyes at him.
He smiled politely and asked.
"Surprised to see me here?"
"I did not expect ..." - She shook her head, looking confused.
The boy stroked the face of his horse and introduces himself with education.
"My name is Juan Carlos"
She answered, but a little shy.
"Amelia"
"And then Amelia, will you ride a little - asked looking at his horse.
"I cannot" - And she looked at the animal. Amelia realized that the blond boy had great affinity with the four-legged animal.
"You cannot, or will not?" - He looked into her eyes.
Amelia blushed and looked down. Trying to explain.
"I just cannot"
But he insisted otherwise.
"We're going for a walk"
She looked him in the face. - "If you promise us will not delay..."
"I promise"
After a while, both were walking in the garden. Juan Carlos had tied his horse to the trunk of a nearby tree house.
He had a pale shirt, old jeans and riding boots.
"You do not speak very much! I see you're a shy girl."
"I just talk too much when I want to. To tell the truth, I speak more alone than with someone. I have no friends, so just I communicate with the wind, trees, and animals and when I do my prayers to God."
The boy smiled. - "You are starting to let go"
Amelia looked at him seriously. There was a look of question in her dark eyes. - "Sometimes I think they follow me"
However, Juan Carlos, looked into her eyes and said firmly. - "Are our paths destinations"
