I was opening the door when our friend Luis was standing in the hallway with a suitcase and a tired smile. He was travelling through the city on his way to a conference, but his hotel booking was cancelled when the system failed.
While Luis was explaining the situation, my roommate was already clearing space on the sofa. We were not expecting company, yet we were happy to help because Luis had hosted us many times in his hometown.
Luis was taking a hot shower while I was preparing extra blankets and pillows from the cupboard. The kitchen was small, but we were finding bread, cheese, and soup for a late snack.
During the film we were talking more than watching. Luis was describing his train journey while rain was hitting the windows. He was not complaining about the delay, although he was travelling for twelve hours.
At midnight we were still awake and were sharing stories from university years. My roommate was laughing loudly because Luis was imitating our old professor with perfect accuracy.
On Saturday morning Luis was leaving early to catch his rescheduled train. We were walking with him to the station while the market was opening on the main square. Vendors were arranging flowers, and the city was waking slowly.
Before he boarded, Luis was thanking us twice and was promising to return in spring. I was waving from the platform while the train was pulling away into the grey morning.
The unexpected visit turned a simple Friday into a warm memory. We were resting, we were hosting, and we were saying goodbye before the weekend chores began. I was glad we opened the door when the buzzer rang.
