CHAPTER 28

Patricia

I have trouble understanding what I am hearing. I am wondering if I am not dreaming.

It wouldn't be the first time I've imagined this situation. I've done this movie to myself many times.

Me: Pablo, you ...

Pablo: I will understand perfectly if you don't share my feelings....

I don't know where the courage came from, but I threw myself on top of him to kiss him. A long and languid kiss. A soft and peaceful kiss. A kiss that meant the meeting of two souls that were thirsty and eager to merge.

The breaths hardly resumed, I see his face all illuminated.

Pablo (with eyes full of stars): So, does that mean a yes?

Me: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

He lifts me on his shoulder and turns around several times. I find myself screaming like crazy. It looks like an old couple and that I have just announced him that I am pregnant. Our joy is immense and indescribable.

I see at the top of the stairs Felix. He is smiling. Immediately he slips away.
