That night, despite not ending in the best way, the two slept in each other’s arms without letting go for asingle moment. That confession of both, one of love and the other of fear, tells Gerard that he can wakeup his girl with a kiss.

She smiles a little, then opens her eyes, to meet the man’s dark gaze.

-Good morning, my beautiful little light.

-Don’t do that or I’m going to get used to not sleeping alone – she tells him, stretching her body -.

-That’s precisely what I want – and gives him another kiss – Luz stays still for a moment and, whenGerard moves away, she gets out of bed.

-I better get up, our princess is going to wake up soon.

Gerard’s heart lights up when she says “our princess” with that obvious love, she always refused to openher heart, to look for someone to keep her company, because she was afraid they didn’t love herCharlize, but Luz loved her from the first minute, something that no one can question.

Just as Luz goes into the bathroom, the princess appears sleepy.

– And my Little Light? -In the bathroom, do you want to have breakfast here? -Yes, I feel like I’ll meltanywhere. When Luz comes out dressed, with a towel on her head, Charlize jumps up to hug her andthen goes into the bathroom.

Gerard gets out of bed and walks over to her, taking the towel off her head and then starting to dry herhair.

hair.

-I can by myself, you know? – I know, but I want to do it – he gives Luz another kiss, but a little cry of joyseparates them immediately

I saw them, I saw them! They are dating! -Charlize jumps on the bed and Luz blushes, because now shewon’t have a way to deny the princess that it’s not like that-

-No, daughter… listen – the girl stays quiet before her father’s denial -. I would love for Luz to be mygirlfriend, but she has not accepted me.

-Well, because you haven’t given her flowers – the girl tells him with a gesture of her hands that pointsout the obvious of the matter -. Light, do you like my dad?

-Eh, yes… a lot – she tells him, startled by the girl’s question -.

-Very much.

-Then you two are crazy. If I liked a boy and I liked him, I would be his happy girlfriend.

Los dos se quedan viendo y la sonrisa de Luz le dice a Gerard que la próxima vez que pregunte, larespuesta será sí.

Mientas Luz se encarga de Charlize, él se encarga del desayuno y de comprobar que las entradas enDisney World están listas. Cuando sus mujeres salen del baño, él se mete a la ducha, pensando que aldía siguiente le pedirá a Luz que sea su novia, pero esta vez será diferente.

Para Charlize, conocer a las princesas de su universo favorito fue todo un acontecimiento que debiódocumentar. Se sacó fotografías con todas las que pudo, Luz le sacó la fotografía a Bella que Matías lepidió y se burló de Gerard, que no tenía idea de los nombres de ningún personaje.

-Te puedo recitar de memoria la constitución, pero de princesas, no me preguntes nada porque no tengoidea.

Se subieron a cada juego que pudieron y rieron todo lo que la vida no los dejó reír antes… y lo que nolos dejaría reír después. 3

Gerard se ocupó de atender los antojos de Luz y Charlize, que se ponían de acuerdo para volverlo unpoco loco, pero era obvio que así fuera. Las amaba y gran parte de ese amor involucraba dejarse llevarpor las peticiones de ellas.

Ya por la tarde, Charlize casi no podía caminar y Gerard decidió que al día siguiente descansarían, porsu hija y también por Luz, porque tanto movimiento podía afectarla.

El día ajetreado dejó a Charlize rendida y esta vez va en los brazos se su padre, mientras Luz le envía un mensaje rápido a Rafael y a su hermano para decirles que está bien.

This time the routine is simple, put Charlize to bed, go to the bathroom and then go to bed. No kisses orstrange touches, a protective hug from Gerard is enough for Luz to fall asleep at once and for him to getcarried away by the dream that always took a long time to arrive.

But a message on his phone, which he forgot to leave silent, wakes him up again. Checking it out, hesees that it’s from Dan and opens it right away.

“Important news, call me tomorrow.”

And that news could have meant a sleepless night, but not with her by his side.
