LORENA

As I get my bearings back it keeps ringing in my head “can I give up everything to be with him”

I take off his shirt feeling sad.

I wear my own clothes and leave the room to go get breakfast in the kitchen and from the way Simona was dressed I guess the house already had breakfast .

I make my way downstairs and into the kitchen, I saw Gulio sitting with Zia making him some pancakes “you want some pancakes and egg Lorena” she asks.

“ Yes please if you don't mind” I answer

I walk over to the coffee machine and make a cup for myself.

I take the seat opposite then I could feel his eyes on my face as he proceeds to stare at me like I’m an exhibit in a museum.

“Can I help you?” I ask.

“No.” He wrinkles her nose and shakes his head.

I pick up my coffee and take a gulp.

“Ack! We are out of flour,” Zia groans. “Let me go check the spare pantry.” She walks out of the room, leaving Gulio and me alone.
