Love and Deceit

He had his eyes where they should be, but his mind was absent as he walked on. 'I have to talk to Gustavo. He needs to take the management of the hotel affairs more seriously,' he resolved. He knew he was itching to confide in his brother, to tell him about the awkward conversation he had with their mum a while back. But he wasn't ready.
