The peak was sitting in the living room, in her new cart. When he saw Julian, his face was lit with joy.

Julian smiled with shyness.
— You can now move without locking the wheels.
Maya laughed between the tears.
— And I can go to lunch without fear of remaining in the hallway!
But her father wasn’t laughing.
He took a deep breath and pulled out a thick envelope from a drawer.
— Sarah, I have to tell you something I discovered last night. When the carriage arrived, Maya told me how Julian had given up everything to buy him. At first I thought it had been a beautiful but common gesture for a guy with a good heart.
