In front of the counter of the bread there was a line long. Rosa wanted a loaf homemade-style but not too baked. The lady in front of them was asking two hundred grams of ham sliced thin, thin, very thin. Giulia has laughed quietly. Even her mother was like that.

At the checkout, Rosa has opened the bag and has realized that having forgotten the wallet at home. She has looked at Giulia with eyes big. Giulia has paid with her her card and her mother to her has said thank you three times. Tomorrow you I will give back everything» she has promised.
