"Have you seen my daughter?" I detect a slight anxiety in the voice of the mother. She is wearing a casual pair of blue jeans and a tight, woolen cardigan, just right for the warm spring weather.
"Don't worry, Monica, your girl is safe in this village. There are no roads around our inn and the locals are very friendly."
Her eyes are beautiful, proud and green. She smiles. From mother to mother. No more words are needed; we go and look for her daughter together.
