Era una noia rossa, d'ulls blaus, alta, prima, amb tacons i un vestit preciós color turquesa. La cara de l'Àlex es va il-luminar.
- Hi Madison! This is Laura. (Hola Madison! Aquesta és la Laura) Laura, aquesta és la Madison.
Es van fer dos petons i una abraçada. Semblava que es coneixien molt, i que es portaven molt bé.
- I was going to a party at Matt's bar, near here, why don't you come? They'll all be so happy to see you. (Anava cap a una festa al bar del Matt, aquí a prop, per què no veniu? Estaran molt contents de veure't)

- My name is Mathew. You can call me Matt. (El meu nom és Mathew. Digues-me Matt)

How can even be possible for life to be somewhere like this, far away from everywhere, far away from any other kind life. All that shows if you want, you can, so if you have a project and really believe in it, why not give it a try?
