A Night With The Past 73. Emma
PresentNovember 2016I came home with a searing pain in my neck.I had a suspicion that it wasn't going to end there, that it was going to be a major problem."We must move..."That was the first thing I said to Alice when we arrived and she and Lilly looked at me as if the screws had come off."Why would anything that happened today make me move somewhere else when I'm so comfortable?" He asked and crossed his arms."If you didn't see the videos, or the interaction... Mr. A is Luciano Basciano's older brother, he's not going to release me just for the sake of it, and if he ran away, I'm running a risk that I can't...Al, the guy with the translations, the beam of technology and the only one who didn't see me as a piece of meat when I went to train for the FBI, knocked on the door and when I saw him, I knew that whatever it was, I had to take care of him right away."We need to talk," he said, and I nodded.My friends looked at him with surprise and then at me, then, with all the cal

Part IV. RevelationsPresentDecember 2016December came with a vengeance.The lives of the companions changed, some moved to continue in the same job, others thanked him for his mental benefit and still others just found themselves to forget the nightmare. Lilly forced her way in, waiting to finally be given a direct transfer to Virginia to move indefinitely to Prince Williams County and formally assist Quantico as a prototype agent. According to what she had told me, both to her and to Mori.The elephant in the room was Mr. A's subject.It was as if the shadows had swallowed him.There were very strange reports about it, it was launched in the most wanted bulletin, as well as Interpol was within the investigation, however, the sightings were not clear: Argentina, Italy, Peru and Spain.I still had security, one that let me work calmly and after weeks, everything went back to normal. I started with my new advertising job, one that I enjoyed catering to new clients, some very small as

PresentDecember 1016My world had withstood so many things, too many, but to see Emma in the arms of my greatest enemy felt like the dumbest betrayal of all. It was so intense that my brother just left me at home to deal with my thoughts."Don't judge her now when you didn't before, give her the benefit of the doubt and have the decency not to be a big jerk in the process," he said and I shook my head.I didn't understand what he meant until that morning when I found them in bed together and went crazy. After Emma said those painful words, she went straight to the stairs and I tried to follow her, but Enzo stopped me by taking my arm."It's not a good time to talk to her, not now...""You don't tell me what to do, you and she betrayed me, you...""You really are an!" He blurted out angrily. That woman loves you so much that she is unable to let you go, she has too many layers, but you push and push, doubt and believe the worst of her because your greatest enemy brainwashed you."I kn

PresentDecember 2016Luciano Basciano was in front of me.I didn't know whether to run or stay, I think it was the fear that drove me to turn around ready to get out of the place.His voice, exquisite and hoarse, stopped me."She wants to talk to both of them, Emma," he said firmly, with clear sincerity. “I came because he asked me to, and honestly, I need the answers I haven't gotten from your mouth yet, so you can't judge me for that.”His words were like lava running down my skin, burning every corner of pain and desolation, making me writhe to infinity."He's right, Emma, please, daughter, stay because I have a lot to explain to you," my mother said with difficulty.For the first time I looked at Isabella Casey with pity and sadness.What could my mother tell both of us to get her here?Something isn't right here..."I don't know how to start this conversation, honey," she said sincerely, and my body went numb right away as she closed her eyes and opened them to fix her gaze on m

PresentDecember 2016I had woken up to the news that my mother was dead.I couldn't stand myself, so much so that we had to go to an inn and that night, I had to go for a walk or I would go completely crazy.It's already dark and I decided to go for a walk to clear my mind.A well-known whistle made me spin and my face lit up when I saw my grandfather, calling me so I ran hard and gave him a big hug."You're beautiful! I didn't believe the fool Luc you were here. If I don't see you, I think you're an apparition.” I laughed wistfully at the compliment. “I found out that your mother died yesterday... I'm really sorry.”"You don't have to," I said and shook my head."It must be hard for you to lose your mother, and well— What happened to your father in prison. I know they weren't the best with you, but life hit them very hard since you left my girl and they more than paid for their bad decisions.”The information threw me off."What do you mean by my father there?" I asked with genuine

PresentDecember 2016We shared the walk-in silence and arrived at a small café three blocks from the park."Good evening, welcome to Britton's café." What are they offered?” The young man asked politely."Hot chocolate and crackers," I replied, wanting to eat something to alleviate the cold I felt, winter in Dakota could be very hard."Anyway," Luc replied and looked at him amused."You're more polite than that."True, only the kid looks at you like a fool."She denied amused."You ever looked at me that way," I said, it was true.We plunged into comfortable silence.He looked at me, wanting to break the silence and I feared for it."I confess— I had the intentions of looking for you, but it cost me a lot, maybe too much and I... I was an idiot to you for attacking you at the time I met you with Enzo, what are you doing now?”"I understood that you saw something the night before that took you out of the concept you could have kept, I don't blame you for that..." I stopped being a cha

PresentDecember 2016Our mouths kept pace with our heartbeats, and the impulses of meaning made me react aggressively.I felt jelly in his arms and everything came out of me like a volcano, came out to hit me like a stampede and I started crying. As if sensing what disturbed me, he embraced me with a tenderness that left me without arguments."I'm here for you, honey.” He kissed my forehead with intoxicating devotion. “I won't leave, I'll stay as long as you want to.” He said in such a sweet tone of voice."Why did it all happen that way?" I asked to nothing, contemptuously, before exhaling wearily."I'd like to know the answer," he replied appreciatively, in the same weary tone I'd used. “I can only say that we are stronger now, and that we owe each other a goodbye. You... You're my heart, Emma. If in the end you don't want to be with me, you have the right to choose.”"Would you do that for me?" I asked fearfully."I'd do anything for you," he said with such conviction in his words

Part VII. OpportunitiesPresentAugust 2017Time was ticking, maybe too fast.Eight months have passed since Mrs. Isabella was buried. Seeing Emma's reactions, seeing what she suffered from her mother's indecision, was like looking at myself in a mirror, extrapolating it, comparing it, and evaluating myself from the inside.The circumstances that he had to go through were unfair and he had desire, motives and a lot of love for that to change, so I waited. I want to make her happy, she deserves to be happy."Even in the nebulae?" My sister asked."You know what I'm thinking, Giulia.”"Be content to know he's fine," she said, and I snorted because he'd been telling me that for the past three months. “Emma is an intelligent woman and if she loves you as I believe, know and trust her to, she will come for you when she feels ready. Her life was not easy, adapting suits her well and even if you look at things from her needs, I understand her perfectly. He wants to feel at peace.”That was
