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

PresentAugust 2017"Say what you have to say.""My cousin will never forgive me, and I'm aware of that.” The phrase made me hesitate, especially because of the perennial lament she had. “I want to tell the whole truth once and for all.”"What are you talking about?" I asked, not understanding anything.She avoided the gaze as if she had a hard time holding it."When you guys started dating, things changed a lot for me. Emma was all about her family and she was immersed in the love they feel... That made me feel displaced and I made stupid things because of my jealousy that affected both of us.”"Why tell me and not her?""It's something I'll do in due course, when he's able to hear me... Now, I know it's not the time and I must tell you something that involves you. That's why I came to you first, Luciano.”His tone of voice was weak, but the firmness in the last few sentences was all seriousness."I don't know what you mean by telling it now. What makes you think I want to know anyth
