Alex from “People we meet on vacation” is your bestfriend. Yo met him once when you had to go back home from university for the break and he had to go the same place so he gave you a lift. Although you were very different you two got along really well and started to do one trip a year. This year you were going to go Norway, Alex was really excited because he has just broken up with his girlfriend definitely and needed the trip to clear his mind but when he calls you already at the airport your really sick, with a fever, a sore throat, a headache and lots of mucus, your stomach feel upset from all the mucus and you don’t think you can make it this year. You tell him to go alone and have fun but and hour later someone knocks on your door and it’s him, he came to take care of you. He takes care of you as he does on the film with Poppy when she gets sick. It happens exactly the same. YOU ARE HIS POPPY but with a different name. You are so disoriented by the high fever that when you open you eyes and sees him, she thinks she is hallucinating.He says: “Oooh Lucía” and takes her face between his hands. Her reaction: “ I think I’m dreaming."Alex's reply: "You’re not dreaming, but you are burning up."The flight confusion: When she sleepily points out that he is supposed to be on his way to Norway, he gently tells her: "Obviously not. Let’s get you back in bed. See if we can get rid of this fever."When she panics that he will be late for his flight, he confesses: "I already missed my flight two hours ago."When she weakly protests that she will make him sick too, he brushes it off entirely, saying: "I have the whole week off anyway."
