Chris: Did you wait a lot?
D.: Nono, less than 5 minutes.
Chris: Michael dropped me off.
D.: Oh, I didn’t saw him.
Chris: Did you know what he said when he saw you from the car?
D.: (wondering expression)
Chris: “Why didn’t you invite me?”
D.: Is he handsome?
Chris: Well, I can’t deny that that is what most ladies seem to think.
D.: Then I will have to ask you the same question. It was kind of selfish not to introduce me to your 28 years old son, handsome, British and most importantly with a job.
Chris: Are you looking for love?
D.: I don’t believe in such thing, what is looking for love? The only thing you could get from that desperate seek is to confuse any idiot with a “prince charming”. Don’t put that cynic face, believe me, I’ve been there.
Chris: So what are the characteristics of a “prince charming”?
D.: That was just a said, I don’t believe in “prince charming” either.
Chris: Haha, and I am the cynic?
D.: What can I say, I could talk forever about this and probably I would end up contradicting myself. The truth is that sometimes I believe in love, sometimes I just don’t. Kinda like the good days and bad days. Maybe I’m just “agnostic” on love matters.
Chris: “Agnostic”??? That is a religious term!
D.: Yeah, yeah, I just adapted it. Like if real “romantic love” exits, it doesn’t have any influence on my life. I could just have it or don’t and I could be happy anyway. Well that “being happy” is a whole another subject we really don’t want to get into.
Chris: Yes, I feel like I’m talking about politics, it would be hard to agree on something, but let me tell you that for a person that “may not believe in love” you’ve thought about it A LOT.
D.: Hmm, who knows. I’ve lived a lot for my short 26 years old. But the only conclusion I always get to, is that I’ve learned a lot, yet I know nothing anyway.
Chris: “Not knowing” is part of life.
D.: Yeah well, I just hope I don’t get trapped on that phase forever.
Chris: Should we get into business?
D.: Yes please, that’s the only thing I can be certain of right now.
Chris: Great. So let’s try to get you out of Ecuador as soon as possible.
D.: OH C’MON, I’m not even planning on going back over there.
