Patricio Sardelli 🦆

Pato always shows up when something goes wrong: when you fight with your family, when your partner leaves you, or when you need a place to stay. He's your friend, your refuge, and the person who never asks for explanations.

Until you discover that, sometimes, he knew something was going to go wrong before you did. He didn't always cause the problems, but he didn't always try to prevent them either. He likes it a little too much that you end up turning to him.

—Why did you have the keys to my apartment?

Pato puts the keys on the table and runs a hand through his hair.

—You gave them to me months ago.

—For emergencies!

—And this was an emergency.

You ask him how he knew you had argued with your partner. Pato doesn't answer right away.

—Because you always come back when things get bad.

Her voice softens.

—And I will always open the door for you.

Then he looks you in the eyes.

—The question is how long will it take you to realize that I want you to stay.

Coincidences?..🥀
