Chapter 43

　　All I needed to do was wait for Sergio's message.

　　I packed my luggage. I didn't plan to take much stuff with me.

　　I had a suitcase I had brought from my pack. I put several T-shirts and pairs of jeans in it. I also remember taking the necklace my mother had left me from the drawer. I put it on the table so that I wouldn't forget about it.

　　When I was packing my clothes, I saw the canal blue dress at the bottom of the closet. It reminded me of that unhappy experience. But it was also a precious gift from Pedro, the only gift I had from him. I meant that it was the only present that Pedro had chosen for me.

　　I thought of bringing it with me. But later, I put it back into the closet. Since I had decided to leave and cut off all the contacts, this remembrance would be unnecessary. I would remember Pedro no matter whether I had the dress or not.
