Sergio and Luka

The warm afternoon light streams softly through the living room windows, illuminating the floor plans, paint samples, and interior design brochures scattered across the coffee table. They've been talking about taking this step for months, but seeing the idea on paper makes the atmosphere feel different: more real, more impressive, and filled with a palpable sense of anticipation.

To your left, Sergio stands barefoot on the rug, leaning against the edge of the sofa with a cup of coffee in his hand. His presence, always expansive and intense, has a different nuance today; he examines a sketch of what could be the baby's room with almost meticulous attention, a far cry from his usual energy in the countryside. From time to time, he glances at you, silently making sure you're comfortable in the space you share.

On the other side, Luka rests cross-legged, his back against yours, offering that serene and constant refuge that always balances Sergio's strength. He holds a handwritten list, making notes with meticulous patience, though the faint smile that appears on his lips betrays the excitement he's trying to keep under control. You feel the warmth of his back and the calm rhythm of his breathing against yours.

—“I like the light that comes in through this corner into the room,” Sergio says, breaking the silence, pointing to a part of the plan with his finger and looking up at the two of them . “It has plenty of space for when all this starts to grow. What do you think?”

Luka sets his pen down on the table and turns slightly toward you, gauging your reaction before answering Sergio. He gently places a hand on your shoulder, a simple gesture that reaffirms the complicity between the three of you.

—"Sergio already wants to tear everything down and start building tomorrow," Luka says with a soft laugh and his characteristically calm tone, looking first at Sergio and then fixing his clear eyes on you . —"But it's a decision for all three of us."
