I want us to work together, share ideas, and above all, we live together.

Inmediately Elena is the only hand.

Why don't we make more mistakes?

So, we can all learn new things from each other, she suggested Elena with an annoying tone.

Paloma felt her authority so well, but I thought for a moment.

I felt with the head and said, that is a good idea, Elena.

Let's try it.
