The rest of the journey the mood got lighter again and soon we were almost at our destination." I thought we could leave the car here and take a ferry because without the car its much cheaper and then well see what we want to visit when were there?" I explained my thoughts.

"You know what? I really like this trip. Its really chill." Dan burst out next to me.

"I like it too." I couldnt keep the smile off my face for the rest of the time in Venice.

It was around 15 oclock when we left Venice and made our way back to the car. This time Daniel opened the door of the drivers side.

"Why do you sit so close to the damn steering wheel? You have no space to do anything!" Daniel complained as he sat wedged between the steering wheel and the seat while pushing the seat back.

"Well Larry longlegs because my feet cant reach the pedals otherwise and if you believe it or not you need them to drive!" I answered sarcastically.

He burst out laughing: "That was a good one! Man, you are a funny one!"

Following the satnavs directions, we reached the Wörtersee three hours later.

"Lets go for another swim!" I cheered already pulling my bathing suit out of my bags and sprinting to one of the changing rooms.

After a dip in the freezing water, we hopped back into the car for the final one and a half hours of our journey. "Youre okay with staying in my place, right?" I asked as we pulled onto the highway.

"Yeah, thats fine. Speaking of room, I still havent paid you back for Verona." He reminded me.

"Nah its fine, I got it. Thanks for joining me." I smiled over at him.

"No really. Please let me pay, and for part of the gas too."

"Its okay Daniel, honestly. Ive made some money the last few weeks I think I can afford it, and if it makes you feel better, I have a little side hustle as well. Now, what do you want to listen to?" I asked as I connected my phone to the AUX cord.

"I dont care. Some happy stuff maybe?" he suggested.

"On it. "

"NEAR, FAR, WHEREVER YOU ARE

I BELIEVE THAT THE HEART DOES GO ON

ONCE MORE YOU OPEN THE DOOR

AND YOU'RE HERE IN MY HEART

AND MY HEART WILL GO ON AND ON

YOU'RE HERE, THERE'S NOTHING I FEAR

AND I KNOW THAT MY HEART WILL GO ON

WE'LL STAY FOREVER THIS WAY

YOU ARE SAFE IN MY HEART

AND MY HEART WILL GO ON AND ON I screamed half an hour later sighing when the song stopped.

"I said it before, and I will say it again. Who hurt you?" Daniel looked over at me.

"Oh, come on. I love this song! Whats wrong with that? Cant I mourn the death of young Leo DiCaprio? "

"Leonardo DiCaprio is three times your age!" he argued.

"Actually, its two and a half times and I was talking about young Leo and not the real one. Not that it matters but when he filmed Titanic, he was 22 and thats not too old for me. Youre just jealous of his good looks." I argued.

"Oh, really? I look way better than him!" Daniel insisted.

"Leo doesnt have grey hairs on his head" I shrugged coldly, "Turn left here please." I changed the topic immediately.
