Andre asked his friends to come at seven for a simple supper. At six, the doorbell rang. His friend Lina stood outside holding flowers. She thought arriving early would give them extra time to talk before the other guests came.
Andre was still cleaning the kitchen, and his table was covered with papers. He welcomed Lina but explained that he was not ready to sit down. Lina offered to help, although Andre preferred to arrange his own kitchen without anyone searching through cupboards.
He gave her a vase and asked her to put the flowers on the balcony table. Then he asked for thirty minutes to finish alone. Lina took a short walk around the block and returned with bread just before seven.
During supper, she told the others about a funny shop window she had seen. Andre was relaxed and enjoyed the story. The next time he invited Lina, she asked if seven meant seven. 'Exactly,' he replied, and she arrived at seven with a smile.
