Vi delade en flaska rött vin medan alla tre lagade middag. Vi pratade och skrattade som om vi hade känt varandra i åratal.

La Navidad es un época mágica en la que la bondad inunda los corazones de todo el mundo. Aunque también puede convertirse en una etapa fría en la que busquemos incansablemente algo caliente...
