A Spring to Remember

It's Easter Sunday in Manolo's bar, and Nerea's parents' last lunch before the train home to Bilbao. Manolo serves his Holy Week French toast with maple syrup at last, and Emily and Curro, who stayed in Seville in March, want the whole spring from the beginning. Own up and tease - last year I didn't dare, that's three this year, shall we try it, don't tell anyone - ask for the news - bring me up to date, we've missed it all, it's been a spring to remember - talk about a new friend - since when have you two known each other, it feels like we've known each other all our lives, in Bilbao you've got a home - and look back over the whole spring, the second part of this level.

Since Wednesday, Nerea's mother and Encarna have hardly left each other's side.
