NateIt had been two weeks, and for two weeks I had done nothing but immerse myself completely in the work, trying at all costs to finish it as soon as possible. When I was not working I complained about the distance and spent my time on the phone with my wonderful wife and son. Axel spent at least an hour talking to me on a video call, telling me everything he did in the day in his language.I could have spent hours listening to him talk even though I didn’t understand anything and he would have been quietly talking for hours, I watched him with Maya’s cell phone in my hand, sitting on his bed, talking, talking, talking. He reminded me so much of Maya when she was little, she could talk for hours without ever getting tired and I remember that many times Jess when she invited Maya to a sleepover, fell asleep while she was talking until late at night. I remember walking past my sister’s room and finding her talking, sitting on

NateAnother day another race. Also that day I had completely locked myself in the conference room since the next day we will have a meeting with the lawyers of the client of Fisher who had paid attention to the note signature of Seattle. We had worked hard, studying every single step of the case so that we could reach an agreement without actually ending up in court.I stretched myself in the chair and looked at the clock on the phone, it was six o'clock in the afternoon and I was dead tired."I think it’s time to close everything," I said, closing the files in front of me."Thank God, I didn’t think it was ever going to come to that," Lopez yelled and immediately stood up."It looks like you were counting the seconds," I said, standing up."Shut up, Dare. Dinner and club tonight?" Zeke asked hopefully."I pass," I said, putting the documents in the suitcase of my laptop."My

Nate Again I was in the conference room at lunchtime, when my colleagues decided to abandon me for a couple of hours to take a lunch break. Slackers. I heard a light knock at the door and looked up as it opened and Becka appeared with an envelope in her hand. "Hey," she said cheerfully, "I saw your colleagues going to lunch alone, and I figured you’d be left with nothing, so I thought I’d bring you something," she quickly said. "My colleagues are slackers," I said, "Anyway, thank you, I’ll eat it later, tell me how much I owe you," I continued, taking my wallet. "I’ll keep you company!" she said. I wanted to answer, but my phone started ringing, showing me Maya and Axel’s faces. Becka’s gaze landed on the screen as I picked it up and answered. "Mon amour," I said cheerfully to hear her voice again. "Axel has decided he doesn’t like your ties," Maya said in a tired tone. I laugh

It was nine o'clock in the evening when I finally arrived at the club decided. I spent the free hours on the phone with Maya while she talked excitedly about the things she had bought for the baby and what her mother and Jess had given her. Maya had been talking nonstop about her day from the moment she opened her eyes to the moment I called her, the same way Axel did when he picked up the phone and I had been listening to them for hours, I nearly forget all about the appointment with my colleagues who had bothered to storm me with messages. So now I was there, opening the door, with my hair still a little damp from the shower I had done, and a hand in a pocket of my pants. I sighed when the warm air of the restaurant caught up with me and I looked for my companions for that evening, finding them all sitting around a table. I saw Zeke shamelessly hitting on Becka as she stared bored at the drink in front of her, her chin resting on her hand. I

MayaI woke up with the sun hitting me and pinching my skin. I opened her eyes slowly and listlessly, noticing that the night before I had left a window open. I hadn’t noticed. I was so devastated after spending the day with a desperate Axel and grieving for his new teeth that they were starting to grow.The first time he had cried continuously for three days, with a high fever and I and Nate had spent the nights looking after him and pampering him while he did not calm down.This time he turned and turned, complaining about the pain, fortunately, he had no fever, but it had been torture to manage to put him to bed. We had been awake until three o'clock in the night after several camomiles had taken to sleep and the same I as soon as I had rested my head on the pillow.The sun was so high, that I was sure it was lunchtime. The phone didn’t ring once, I frowned because Nate used to call me when I woke up.I reac
