- I'm sorry if I scared you. I've just been watching you for a while and you seemed so sad and detached to me.

- What? Oh, no, it's not like that at all. And of course you can sit down, I did not claim the rights to this bench. - I said, smiling, moving a little to give more space.

- Have you been here recently? I haven't seen you before.

- Yes, I recently moved in with my sister. - I replied with restraint, not wanting to talk too much to a stranger.

- And who is your sister? If it's not a secret, of course. - he asked softly.

- Adeline, if you know her.

- Of course I know. I know everyone here. - He smiled good-naturedly while I waited for an explanation. - I'm the prefect here. My name is Simon Olish.

- Oh, I'm... I'm very pleased to meet you, Mr. Olish. My name is Te... Te... Temi.
