Denis was not made to choose between the parents.
He visited his mother when he came home and spent time with his father at the workshop. Sometimes, on holidays, all three met for a short meal.
They weren’t trying to pretend to be a perfect family.
They were just trying to be self-respecting people.
The following spring, the commune organized a craftsman’s fair. Basil was invited to present some of his works.
He brought a carved table, two oak chairs and a dowry box decorated with traditional motifs. Next to each object put a photo of the stages of the realization.
Denis came from Bucharest especially for the event.
“Dad, we have to make you a website,” he said. People should see what you’re working on.
Basil laughed.
“I can barely handle the phone.
That’s why you have me.
As they spoke, a group of visitors stopped in front of the carved table.
