Selena and Alexander stop at the door before leaving and tighten their coats. As soon as Selena covers her mouth with the scarf, they step outside the pub and head to the car park. The bouncer remains in the same place as when they got in and seems not to feel the chilly air. Right after the siblings pass, he puts out his cigarette and sees them walk away, curled up in the cold.
The fog covered the summit of the surrounding hills just like a blanket that is covering the world in a deep sleep...
- Are you ok to drive home? You had a few drinks and I don’t want to sleep in a cell. If you want to, I can drive.
- You? Don't even think about it, I can handle alcohol. You're a little bit more affected than me. Do you remember the invisibility button? I’ll use it if necessary. It wouldn't be the first time ...
- Yeah, yeah... No longer a problem to break the rules in this, right? But telling important info to your dear sis, zero...
- Let's say that this is not exactly an infringement, I call it precaution. Yes, just a precaution to not be caught and questioned by the police. And this is in the rules. Didn't you read the regulation? Don't tell me you accepted and signed without reading it, airhead!
Alexander gives a wink and gets in the car. Selena narrows her eyes pretending to cast a spell that could reduce him to dust at that very moment. Already with the car moving and slowly heading towards the road, they hear someone banging twice on the roof on the driver’s side. Alex quickly hits the brakes when he sees the figure outside. Still recovering from the shock, she sees the window being opened and her brother shaking his hand with the stranger and greeting him. Selena tightens her coat again and snuggles into the scarf.
- We’re heading home. Do you want a ride?
The other leans on the door with his elbows. The shining dark green eyes match his mischievous smile. His hair was carefully combed back with the exception of a lock that falls irreverently over his face. Slightly turning her face, Selena looks at the owner of the deep voice, another fascinating and beautiful being,
- Thank you but I don’t need the lift. Had some stuff to do before coming and it’s still early. I just get in when day breaks so until then there is no point in sitting in front of the door. Besides, Gelos and I are going to have the talk… Apparently he is in love, again! - And once more that handsome smile that freezes as soon as he notices the presence of the passenger. Suddenly his amused expression quickly changes to a serious and surprised one.
- Sorry, I didn't realize you were with Selena. It seems that not only cats are grey at night, after all. - He moves his hand to the back pocket of his black jeans and takes out his vibrating cell phone. - It's Gelos. He must be really desperate to tell me the news! See you later, man! - With his index and middle finger he taps the top of his forehead in salute and walks towards the lighted pub.
- You wanted to know who Dimas is... This is him. - Alexander turns the key and slowly the car hits the road. - I think we better go home in invisible mode, enough surprises for tonight. What is it? Why that face?
- How does he know my name? How did he look at me and know that I was Selena? I could be any other woman! Everyone thought I was your girlfriend and asked who I was. But not him. He specifically said that I was Selena and changed his expression when he saw me. And since when I am grey? I wasn’t hiding…
- News run fast, girl. As soon as you stepped inside and I said that you were my sister, almost everyone got the information. I told you that you were going to be a matter of interest. Even aunt Irene already knows where we've been by now. Maybe he didn't see you when I opened the window... Or… Maybe Dimas thinks you're a kitten and that means that he needs a pair of glasses.
- Are you saying that I am ugly, freak?
