Leonor narrating: What happened, in a way repressed me to go back to writing my book, as it also affected the magazine's. My head was torturing me about everything. I wanted to stay longer at work and organize everything that I had left behind in the last months, but I couldn't keep looking at Hard, I could see his eyes getting lost in tears when he talked about his mother, I felt terrible, I was confronting him and judging him once again thinking that I was the center of his world. I always judged him wrong, as if I didn't want to admit that there was no desire or obsession Hard had for me. I needed to do something to fix things with Call, so at eleven o'clock, I grabbed my things and left with everyone else going away, I pressed the elevator button while everyone hurried down the stairs to enjoy the weekend, I waited for a few minutes, thinking about how I could fix all this mistake. When the door opened a very beautiful girl in short clothes, with curves that made me envious

Leonor narrating: Hard walked through the doors, and when he saw me he smiled with a countenance of one who had been somewhat relieved to see a familiar face and walked over to me taking a seat beside me:- I'm glad I'm not the tired boss who drinks at two in the afternoon. - he told me in an ironic tone.- Yeah, well... not every day is such a good day to spend overa. - I told him uncomfortably, I don't know if it would go down well if we were seen drinking together at two in the afternoon.- There is no evil here, much less people we know. - Hard said in a funny tone, raising his hands. - Something's been bothering you since early in the morning, it's clear to see. Probably for you to have gotten dressed and be sitting here at the bar is a big confirmation. I know we met in a strange way, but that day we created a certain kind of friendship, it's been a long time since I talked to someone like that, so you can trust me if you want. Hard told me in a calm and unde

Hard narrating: I couldn't deny to myself that something had nagged at my chest after receiving the news about my father. No one wants to be a child at the age of fourteen, without a mother, surrounded by guilt, and traumas with scars all over his body. And the most incredible thing is that I felt a lot of anger towards him, a lot of anger when the cold hurt me in the middle of the street, but this anger ceased when the sun heated up again, I can't say that I hated him, because I didn't, I had my reasons for leaving home, and even if wrong, alcohol was the reason he had to manage to live with the absence of the woman who took care of him, it was the way he found to not admit the pain he felt to himself. Leonor was already glowing with the alcohol, I saw her standing up, curious but trusting me, grabbing a bottle of vodka I followed her out of the bar, and she followed me:- what are we going to do? - she asked me leaning against my side in front of the bike.- You'll have to

Leonor narrating: Standing there on that Mountain looking at all the vastness at the same time as Hard's Smile made everything even more complete, it was as if everything now made sense, a part of me began to thank that Call had made me leave home, thank that he had given me the opportunity to give myself away and I felt something, beyond just a frustrated woman. I couldn't deny the feelings that were being born inside me as I looked at Hard, I couldn't believe it was just an unconsumable desire, it was much more beyond, like I was beginning to wish I had someone who liked things as much as I did, he even knew the phrases in my magazine. I always imagined myself with Call on a Mountain, a bottle of wine or vodka, but he was never willing. But Hard is here at this moment turning the bottle beside me and shouting his feelings for whoever is down there to hear him echo, he is showing me the freedom to feel the wind hitting my face while Call locks the car windows on the highway, he m

Hard narrating: I was close, close enough feeling her gasping breath, feeling the way she was desperate fighting that feeling as much as I was, the way he stared at my mouth made my body turn on:- The sun is about to set," I told her, smiling, and pulled away. Not because I didn't want to kiss her, that was all I wanted at that moment, but I couldn't, that's not how I wanted to have her, not being a married woman.- you're right... - she said, also backing away ashamed. When everything you wish for is confirmed, it's a mixture of happiness and a frightening feeling. The sun was starting to come down, and the bottle of vodka was still half full, but I forced myself to stop drinking, I knew about my responsibility of having to drive, not that I was afraid, I wasn't afraid that something would happen to me, but I was afraid that something would happen to her:- Have you ever stopped to notice the way we always end up watching the sun rise or set? - I said smiling, look

Leonor narrating: When we got down in front of the bar again so I could get my car, my chest was spontaneously happy, the smile wouldn't leave my face, but being back in town, and knowing I would have to go back to my quiet life, took it away, which made me internally scream how much I didn't want that:- are you sure you're well enough to drive? -Hard said through the car window as I started the car.- I'm sure... stay calm. - I told him with a smile, feeling my mouth numb from the alcohol. Hard patted the car as a farewell and pressed his lips together, pulling away. - hey... wait. - I yelled back at him. - Thank you really for today, it was very good for me, I really needed this. - I told him. I could see the smile on Hard's face getting bigger, and this somehow made me feel good, for also having helped him this day. Getting my car, I started to drive following Hard through the rearview mirror riding his motorcycle, and as the distance was increasing and he was gettin

Leonor narrating: I was a completely Indefensible woman still propped up in the drunken doorway, listening to Call's words coming out as if he too felt weak at that moment, as if he too hated what he was saying:- why? - I spoke in a surprised and weak tone of voice in disbelief, as if he was making this up just to not give me what I was asking for.- When we started dating, and I told my parents about the engagement, my whole family judged it because of your family, because of your mother and the things she did. My father swore that our marriage would not last a month, but I knew it Leonor, I knew that our love was real, it was something intense, I could see it in your eyes, just as I could feel the love sucking all the desire I had to make it work...- And then you thought it would be a great idea to sign a damn contract without me knowing and spend five years without telling me anything at all? A damn contract where you risk everything you have, believing that the love

Leonor narrating: I got out of the car euphoric, not thinking exactly about what I wanted to do, I just felt a need to shout out my feelings as Hard had taught me. In front of my mother's house with a golf club in hand, I walked to the door and pushed as hard as I could until the handle opened. That scene made my rage rise even higher, and I just felt, without thinking, as if I were guided only by my anger losing control of my own impulses:- What do you think you're doing? - the man who was accompanying her said in an intimidating and angry tone, getting up from the sofa.- What do I think I'm doing? What do you think you are doing inside the house that also belongs to me? - he said, shouting and hitting a glass that was on the table with the bat, causing it to break on the floor. - The house that my father worked worlds to keep a roof over the head of the person I should call mother, only to have her betray him. - As the words came out of my mouth in screams, I would throw
