Leo has been around Nala for six months\nnow. He has been under her spell since the very first day when he met\nher piercing gaze as he flew away, during a nighttime trip, high up\nin the starry sky. Captivated, he almost hit her. He then tried to\nfollow her discreetly but he failed miserably. She turned around and\ndisappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A\nfew days later, after a meticulous investigation with his friends and\nwork colleagues, he finally finds traces of the beautiful young lady.\nThis time he will be much more careful so as not to scare her. No\nneed to act like a stalker like when they first met. He inquires and\ncasually manages to peck at breadcrumbs near his crush. He approaches\nsubtly and gives her languid glances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nmerry-go-round lasts, again and again\u2026 Then, one fine morning, they\nare side by side sharing a leftover sandwich that ended up there for\ntheir greatest joy. The moment is magical. Leo makes the most of this\nspontaneous proximity. He dares to ask her her first name\u2026. Nala,\nhe will never forget it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then,\nradio silence for several days. Nala is nowhere to be found. Leo is\nseriously starting to worry. He meets her by chance, in a deserted\nneighborhood. She is there, alone, in a corner, her head bowed. She&#8217;s\ncrying. Leo tries an approach. He&#8217;s so shy. She turns around and\ncomes to meet him, her eyes so sad. She abruptly announces to him\nthat her father died of a long illness, hence his absence lately. Leo\nis devastated. He does not yet dare to snuggle up against him to\ncheer her up. On the other hand, he offers her a date in a whisper \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And\nhere they are, facing Marie, facing each other, transfixed lovers,\nimagining plans for their future&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oil on cardboard \u2013 7 x 9,5 inch \u2013 Unique work The place is magnificent.
