Susana was so stupidly surprised that all she could say was.

- That's right. Is there anything I can do for you?

- I'd like to see the library, it looks interesting.

- I don't have much time, but we could do a short tour.

The visit was not as quick as she would have liked, but Matias, as he was called, was eager and curious.

When they got back to the library, Susana was about to say goodbye when Matias said:

-Do you have time for a coffee?

-I'm sorry, Matias, but I've been away too long. I have to get back. I think you know where the exit is? Thank you very much.

She left without giving him time to react.

She went out later that day. Although it was spring, it was cold. Susana went out and immediately put on her coat. As she did so, she felt someone helping her put it on. She smiled, thinking it could be a colleague, but it was Matias.

She looked surprised, which wasn't very pleasant.

- It took longer than I thought.

Matias said

- I lost track of time, but it's good that you're going out too.

Susana found the situation strange.

- I'm glad you liked the library. Sorry, I've got to go. I've got a bus to catch.

- I can give you a lift, Susana. I'll go to Gaia.

Suddenly he said her name. She felt very uncomfortable and shivered.

- Thank you Matias. I've got other places to go, so it's no use. See you next time.

She found the whole situation with this boy unusual. Maybe she shouldn't have said anything to him.

But she forgot about it and went home.

That night she had a bout of insomnia. She woke up at 2am and couldn't get back to sleep. She went to work like a zombie.

Oscar had called her, but she'd gone to bed very early. She was very tired and thought that the situation with the young pharmacist had taken its toll. So she hadn't been able to talk to him, but she had also decided not to talk about this strange event.

Before he called back, she realised he hadn't heard from her and called him back.
