chapter 202

After a good night's sleep, Elio opened his eyes and thought he saw his wife with him in bed but was surprised not to see her. He placed his hand on her spot and felt the coldness of the mattress, a sign that she had left the bed for a while. given the time, he said to himself that the latter would still be at home, certainly preparing the children. He went into the shower and minutes later when he came out, he only had a towel around his hip when he noticed a figure in his room. it was not his wife because even in total darkness, he would recognize his wife. He cleared his throat to signal and when the woman turned around, she opened her eyes wide and he could see that even her saliva was crooked. He didn't hesitate to detail it and this was yet another proof that he was right to be wary of her because yes, it was this girl he said he no longer wanted to see at his house. He finally remembered the night he had promised Carmen that he would try a little harder.
