Episode 4

I do my morning routine and go down for coffee, and the two of them are already waiting for me.

GABRIELA ANTONELLA – Good morning, family..

BARBARA BENETTI – What's all this happiness so early in the morning, my girl?

RUBY BENETTI – You must have had a very good dream... I haven't seen you wake up this happy in days. You definitely had an erotic dream.

GABRIELA ANTONELLA – RUBY... it's nothing like that, Ruby, you pervert. I finally got an opportunity and was hired; I got a job.

BARBARA BENETTI – That's wonderful, my daughter. We're proud of you for not giving up easily.

RUBY BENETTI – That's great news, but your face says there's more to it.

GABRIELA ANTONELLA – I haven't accepted yet... I was supposed to give my answer later, confirming by email.

BARBARA BENETTI – What's the problem with this job? You spent months tearing your hair out looking for one.

RUBY BENETTI – I don't understand why you didn't give your answer immediately.

Gabriela Antonelli – It's... That... this new job is in another country, to be exact, it's in Greece....

RUBY BENETTI – NO WAYYYYYYY.... In Greece, you crazy girl! It's my dream to travel there... but I haven't had the chance yet.

BARBARA BENETTI – And that's why you have that sad look on your face; you'll have to move there...

GABRIELA ANTONELLA – Yes, Mom... the company will pay for my entire trip from here to there. I just have to find a house, an apartment, or a studio that I can afford.

And to be honest, I didn't want to go and leave you all here... but I really need this job, and I'm insecure. What if it doesn't work out... and I can't adapt there... I'd come back with absolutely nothing, and that's just not an option.

I want your opinion before I make this decision that could change the course of my life.

Ruby Bennet – I completely understand, sis, but if I were you, I'd take it. It'll be a great opportunity for you...

Barbara Bennet – I agree with your sister, Gaby. You're great at your job and organized; you'll do super well.

And I know... the only thing keeping you here is me and Ruby... but don't worry, I'll be fine. You shouldn't throw this opportunity away.

You'll get used to it easily. Greece is a beautiful place. I went there when I was almost your age on a college trip.

That place is beautiful and romantic...

You'll fall in love with the city there; it's fantastic. You have to accept this job. You have my full support.

You'll make new friends and meet wonderful people, it'll be good for you. And who knows, maybe you'll find a hot Greek guy and introduce him to me as your son-in-law... You and your sister are young and need to venture more into love.

GABRIELA ANTONELLA – Oh, Mom... I just can't guarantee finding a hot Greek guy... that's asking a bit much...

And I'm going to miss you all so much, and I have to go... in 4 days. I'm a bundle of nerves.

RUBY BENETTI – And I'll be here without you... the house won't be the same, it won't be any fun watching a movie without you... Who will be my partner for going wild at parties... Take me with you, little sis.

GABRIELA ANTONELLA – If I had the money, I'd take you in my suitcase, you know. I don't know how I'll live without you two.

BARBARA BENETTI –. Greece isn't going to separate you two... Ruby will go with you. There, the job opportunities are better for you as an event producer... Greece is a country where people love to enjoy crazy parties; it would be a great opportunity for you.

Maybe it'll take you a while to get some events, or maybe not, but just being there will make it easier...

And of course, you'll be each other's support, and who knows, maybe this will be the first step towards the promise you made when you first met – that you would have incredible adventures around the world. Can you imagine?

RUBY BENETTI – That's right! When we met, we promised each other we'd have wonderful adventures... traveling to many places, just the two of us, Gaby, remember?

And we promised that when we were kids, on your 14th birthday.

But Mom, what about you? Will you be okay here without the two of us?
