Marianna walks into Alex’s office.

“Oh, good day!” Alex beamed with a smile.

He pulled a new sports uniform for Nikolash from the closet and handed it to Marianna. Preparing for the meeting, she wore her new white blouse with colorful ruffles on the shoulders and front. He’s looking at me now, Marianna notes, I wonder how I look…

Alex squinted and looked at her, at her mouth as she spoke.

“Alright, thank you, I hope it fits him,” Marianna replied.

“Will Nikolash participate in the competition?” Alex asked, squinting his eyes.

“Yes, I hope… he will want to.” But Marianna’s thoughts were elsewhere, and she just gazed at Alex, spellbound, trying to guess what he felt. Alex smiled and lightly touched Marianna’s hand.

“Oh God, how ridiculous I am in these ruffles on my blouse… He looked at me so strangely… I looked silly…” Marianna blushed, remembering the meeting.

“I clenched a crumpled bill,

In my hand swiftly now,

I acted like a fool with you,

During our conversation – this time.

Seeing you – I forgot everything,

Tried to pick my words;

I spoke incoherently,

Not knowing what to say…

And you – my golden-haired prince,

A poet’s dream and poems,

And I acted like a fool,

About this meeting – all, without words…”
