Once again she feels embarrassed to be the last one to get up. Layla’s aunt is cooking in the kitchen. They say good morning in Arabic. Montse is a fast learner. For breakfast she has coffee and goats milk, bread with marmalade and an orange. The food revives her. The Saharawi starts explaining to Montse that Layla is at the corrals on the outskirts of Bir Lehlu. She understands without difficulty. The children are running everywhere, making the most of the holidays. As soon as they see Montse, they come to say hello. The morning sun is beginning to make its presence felt. Montse decides to go for a walk. She covers her head with a scarf to protect it from the sun. A few little boys are playing football. Others are fighting over the only bicycle. Suddenly a kid who is sitting on his own, far from the group, attracts her attention. She recognises the one-eyed boy from the day before. He’s looking at her without moving from his place. Montse approaches him slowly, as though she were just strolling by.
