Barbara Stritar, 27, Matej Smolnik's muse  <<  >>

"I found a matchbox in my handbag, once. This came as a surprise to me, you see, because I don't smoke. Inside, there were two ladybugs. It was a very sweet gesture. I always wondered who put them there. Now I know. I never realized he was attracted to me.
I think we exchanged two or three words at the most, during all those years. He was so silent and reserved. When you gave me the CD with his music, I was speechless, overwhelmed. It's a very special feeling, knowing someone wrote so many songs thinking about you. The music is beautiful. I'm sorry I never got the chance to know him better."
