As Marta and Laia approached, Pere decided that this Sant Jordi he would not let the opportunity slip away.

"T'he vist aquí i.

"I saw you here and...

m'agradaria donar-te aquesta rosa".

Amb el pas del temps, les paraules van anar sortint més fàcilment de Pere, i la seva confiança creixia amb cada somriure de Laia.
