Elena and Carlos were two people who lived in different worlds. Elena was a recently divorced woman, mother of two teenage children, who worked as a journalist for a fashion magazine. Carlos was a single man, without children, who worked as an attorney at a prestigious law firm. Both had professional success, but lacked something in their personal life.
One day, Elena and Carlos coincided at the Madrid airport, where both were taking a flight to Paris. Elena was covering a high-end fashion event for her magazine and Carlos was attending an important meeting with some clients. They met at the departure gate and looked at each other with curiosity. Elena noticed Carlos's elegant suit and leather luggage. Carlos noticed Elena's informal dress and backpack. Both felt attracted by the contrast.
Hello, are you going to Paris? -asked Carlos, breaking the ice.
Yes, I'm going for work - replied Elena.
I do too. What are you doing?
I am a journalist.
- Ah, yes? What's the topic?
In fashion.
Wow, how interesting.
And you?
I am a lawyer.
What kind?
From companies.
Ugh, how boring -joked Elena.
Carlos laughed and followed the game.
- Well, not everything is boring. Sometimes there are very entertaining cases.
- Yes? What kinds?
Well, for example, I once had to defend a man who was sued by his ex-wife for not paying alimony. It turns out the man won the lottery and moved to a paradise island with a model. His ex-wife found out and claimed half of the prize.
And what happened?
Since the man refused to pay her and we had to go to court. It was very funny to see the judge asking the man why he hadn't shared his fortune with his ex-wife and him responding that it didn't strike his fancy.
- Did you win the case?
No, we lost. The judge gave the reason to the ex-wife and granted her half of the prize.
Ah, what bad luck!
Yes, but good, at least we laughed for a while.
Elena and Carlos continued talking until it was time to board. They sat together on the plane and kept chatting during the flight. They told each other about their lives, tastes, dreams... Discovered they had many things in common and got along very well. They laughed a lot and had a lot of fun.
They arrived in Paris and took a taxi to their respective hotels. They said goodbye with a kiss on the cheek and exchanged phone numbers.
- I hope to see you soon - said Carlos.
- I also said Elena.
They looked at each other with complicity and smiled. Continue with part two.
