Story

Laura , . . . , , , . , .

Laura has a new job in the centre, but her mother's house is very far away. Every day she loses a lot of time on the road. That is why she is now looking for a flat. She wants somewhere near work, with good light and, if possible, a quiet room. She does not have much money, but she thinks she is going to find something good.

Sofía, . ", ", Laura. Sofía . ", . ."

One morning she phones Sofía, a young woman who is looking for someone to live in her flat. "Hello, I saw your name and I want to see the room," says Laura. Sofía is very friendly. "Of course, come this afternoon. The flat is in a very good part of the city."

Laura arrives early. The building is not big, but it is pretty. She sees Sofía at the door and the two of them talk for a moment by the kitchen table. The flat is small, but it has lots of light. The room is next to the kitchen and is very quiet. "I like it," says Laura. "It's lovely and it's close to my work. For me, this area is very good."

Sofía makes a coffee for Laura and another for herself. They talk about the city, about the area, about each one's job. Sofía is pleasant and knows a lot of people in the area. "Living here is good," she says. "There is everything nearby, and the people are friendly." Laura feels that this person could be a good friend.

After a while, Laura no longer has any doubt. "When can I come?" she asks. Sofía is happy. "Next month, if you like. We are going to be good flatmates." The two of them have another coffee by the table. Laura thinks about her mother, about the new job, about the big city. For the first time in a long while, everything seems to be going well.
