Love and Deceit

For longer than a moment, both their faces were sullen as they maintained cordial silence. In Linda's mind, she was dying to find out what had really happened to Nathan after their cosy Florida boat ride.

She needed to perfectly understand why he'd had to run off without giving anyone any information almost immediately after their romantic weekend.

The more she pondered on it was the more she knew and felt convinced that her late father, Eduardo had had no hand in Nathan's decision.

Thinking about her dad, Belinda's mind flashed back to how extremely protective of her, he was all the time so much that he'd succeeded in imbibing in her the concept of having a tough skin for the purpose of survival.

This, he made sure of, to some degree at least before his passing, and for it, Belinda was thankful.
