Month after month, Lucio gave Digna, Andrés' wife, 250 euros. He had taken a liking to her from the first day, and they would always chat for a while. Lucio had the idea to invite them to dinner at an elegant restaurant. He didn't tell Andrés, he told her directly.

• Digna: "Andrés, do you know what Lucio told me today?"

• Andrés: "Tell me"

• Digna: "He's inviting us to dinner for his birthday, didn't he tell you anything?"

• Andrés (truly surprised): "No, I'm just finding out"

• Digna: "Listen, since he's been so kind, I think we should get him a gift, what do you think if we buy him a good watch?... you see him more often, do you know if he has a good watch?"

• Andrés: "I think not, he always wears the same one, a mediocre one"

• Digna: "I'm thinking of a smartwatch, one of those that connects to your phone and has a lot of functions… but I want us to buy it together, after all, you're a man and you'll have a better idea of his tastes"

• Andrés (with a double thought to himself): "Yes… the truth is I know a lot about his tastes… what he likes and what he doesn't… and yes, I think I know the type of watch that might appeal to him, I'm thinking of one with some volume, noticeable, masculine"

• Digna: "Well, tomorrow when you finish work, I'll call you and we'll meet at the shopping center"

• Andrés: "Okay"

The next day, at Digna's insistence, they went to a jewelry store that also sold good watches.

• Andrés: "I don't know what we're doing here, there are other stores that sell watches"

• Digna: "I'm looking for something of quality… look at these"

• Andrés: "What's wrong with you? Do you see the watches and not the prices?"

• Digna: "Come on, Andrés, that man pays us 4000 euros a year, he's discreet and this way we guarantee that no one will know that we're renting to him on the side and an unregistered property… he's also invited us, not to just any restaurant, you and I have never been to that one… besides, I like him"

Andrés thought he should be the one more interested, more than his wife, but he was pretending, not showing much interest.

• Andrés: "True"

• Digna: "Look at this one"

• Andrés: "But don't you see the price?"

• Digna: "It's a Swatch, a good brand and fashionable, look, it's worth 400 euros, but it's on sale for 20% off"

• Andrés: "Come on, Digna, when you give someone a gift that's above what's logical, they might even reject it"

• Digna: "It's not that expensive… look at this other one, the Zenith, I like it more, I'd like to give it to him, but it's thirty times more expensive"

• Andrés: "Okay"

• Digna: "So what do you think of the Swatch? Do you like it?"

• Andrés: "I like it a lot"

• Digna: "Well, we'll get this one...
