Chapter XLI -Footsteps#

#..

It was a giant, I felt that my body weighed more than usual, my footsteps were marked with power in the snow: all my spirit was in them, that was the reason. With my shoulders hunched and my eyes lowered, I walked thinking about some explanation for that rejection. I don't want to give up, however I can't find a way to enter her heart, she is reluctant to any approach. Now I can't think of anything else to do but wait, I don't want to upset her.

Arriving at the house, I observed the anxious eyes of my cousins waiting for great news, and when they heard no answer they knew how bad it had gone, I shook my head and went to the bedroom. I had never felt this emptiness, my imagination was limited to slide tears down my cheeks, the ideas of any pink poem were blurred with tears, I tried to cover with my arm the sadness of my eyes and not think about it and so the moonlight went.
