"Sabíeu que Gaudí usava trossos de ceràmica trencada per fer aquests mosaics perquè eren més barats?
"Did you know that Gaudí used broken ceramic pieces to make these mosaics because they were cheaper?"
", va dir, sense adonar-se, amb la veu tremolosa.

Laia el va mirar, sorpresa però interessada.

"De debò?
"Really?
És fascinant!

Tens una manera única de veure les coses.

Al sortir del parc, mentre el sol es posava sobre la ciutat, Enric es va adonar que ser tranquil i reflexiu no era un obstacle.
