"Neither is the theater, and look where I am.""Yes, but they are two totally different professions." His lips pursed. Anyway, I don't think I would have been able to leave home to spend the day on a catwalk and then be back on the plane to go to other exactly identical places, ”he admitted. You like to move, but I am the opposite. I am comfortable in my field."And what is it, Miss Nora?""Well, I'm still trying to find out, but the only thing I'm sure of is that I want to grow old here." Okay, I know it sounds really weird on my lips, but it's the truth. I am not fascinated by knowing other places. Here I have everything I need, even if I have to endure your absences.Angy nodded, smiling in a long curve to her face, but she was slowly squirming again. So many times he had tried to get used to the idea, and still failed; every time Nora said something related to him, he took twenty steps back."Sometimes you have to be brave and do risky things to get bigger ones," he murmured."You were only twenty when you left," Nora pointed out. Weren't you afraid?"Yes, but our parents could no longer hold me." At least I wanted to try it on my own and luckily I succeeded."Yes, I remember all your calls perfectly." You seemed so happy. I see it was worth it."Yeah, it's the best I've ever done.""And there is nothing you regret?"That question bounced off his face, slapping him on the cheek. What could have been more painful than abandoning the only man for whom she had ever felt true love, in every sense of the word?"Well…" he whispered. I don't know, everyone regrets something in life, right?Nora didn't even blink. He was in control, and he knew it."You have a good diversionary tactic, but it doesn't work on me." You still don't answer my question."Of course I've done things that I regret," he snapped. Of course I would backtrack if I could, but things are gained and others are lost. It is the law of life.Why did it all come down to the same topic? Was it so predictable that in the end he ended up talking about precisely what hurt him the most? He knew Nora had done it on purpose; he knew that his only mistake was to have let a good man escape who supposedly went by the name of Ulysses."But…" "New opportunities always come.""Yes, but they don't have to be new."Angy clenched her jaw, not understanding.-What do you mean?"I think you know."She imagined it, but her suppressed rage forced her to hear it from her sister.-Say it."You know as well as I do that sometimes second chances work."Again ... How long would it continue like this? When would she stop insisting that I get Dorian back? Would he shut his mouth once he knew they were faced by the same man? Would she change her mind if she found out that her older sister was the woman the guy called her husband yearned for?"I think the second parts were never good," he growled."We're not in a movie, Angy."-Of course not. This is the real life. If it was a movie, I would have skipped the whole plot to get to the end.-Why? Are you in a hurry?"I'm in a hurry to find some common sense around me.""You have altered your perception of the world.""Do you think I don't see what I have before my very eyes?""It's more like you don't want to see it, it's different."All of that looked bad. A new discussion was in sight, and he had to close in on something like that, so he opted for the strategy that he knew could be useful to him."Well, Nora, I don't think we're here to talk about the past, or your job or mine," he commented. What did you want to talk about?"I don't know if it's going to sound like a good idea," Nora whispered, more to herself than to her sister, "but I think it's the best for everyone."-The best for all? What are you talking about?Nora leaned across the table and made a good girl face. That was a bad sign, when he was about to order something.

Loving Without Measure - Book 3 33
He had aword to describe what I witnessed, not even to approach him. The blindfold no longer covered his eyes, but the truth had turned out to be much worse than the lie. How could it be possible? At what point had such a hoax developed? What name could be given to this infamy that emerged from nowhere? He was incapable of assuming it; could not. How? The simple fact of visualizing them together symbolized the straw that broke the camel's back, destroyed their integrity; not only physical, but also mental. His previously established ideas had been nothing more than a strange utopia, born out of an unstable justification that was now falling apart. Had they been playing with her all this time? Since when were they so close? She wasn't even supposed to be there. Wasn't he supposed to have been home to the theater several weeks ago? What was he d

He had reached the limit of his own consciousness. He had far exceeded all that was merely acceptable, and he knew that the beginning of the end was near, unleashing in front of him, proclaiming the imminent victory of all that he had been avoiding, but he could not continue like this. The truth was right before his eyes; The determination necessary to throw the bandage to the ground was enough, and although he was still surprised by it, he had already made the decision to unmask this hoax that did not give more than himself.Ever since she met him, she had lived immersed in a true dream, but as much as it weighed on her soul, the time of grace was over and she had to wake up, before it was too late, before becoming the

A tiny light at the end of the tunnel made its way to the central core of all that unexpectedly arose. Still Angy's words echoed in his head, hitting him like lightning striking a tree. He was speechless, and as much as he tried to analyze the situation with a spark of calm, the serenity had completely disintegrated, leaving him in the middle of all that new worry that, mixed with everything they carried behind their backs, returned inappropriate. A wick that had caused the final burst. So now he understood better Angy's reluctance to tell him what was happening; telling him that truth point-blank had not been easy at all, but when he heard it from his lips, his heart stopped. She felt many things, but beyond the fear or insecurity of facing an even greater challenge, the happiness that she would have a child had partially alleviated the anguish that followed. He had always had deep desires to be a father
Loving Without Measure - Book 3 30
One life… within another. Uncertainty, grief, chaotic ecstasy, and mental petrification had brought her into absolute temporary isolation. Unable even to blink, the green-eyed woman did just stare into space, trying to grasp what was coming her way. She could never have assimilated something like this under normal conditions, and it was clear that the circumstances in which she was immersed were even worse. How could he deal with something like that? He had waited until the last moment to make sure that there was inevitably no mistake of any kind. Unfortunately, it was. There was no possible mistake and, in the remote event that there was one, it would be so tiny and insignificant that it would not deserve to be taken into account. You couldn't go back in time and you had to necessarily assume the new change of course that your life had just taken. What else could I do? She had already been crying
Loving Without Measure - Book 3 29
He had suffered terribly from the slow pace of the clock. She had done her best not to despair, but the only thing that gave her strength was to go home to her husband; Even though things weren't going well between them lately, she still felt comfortable looking at him. That is why he couldn't wait any longer and said goodbye to his co-workers Ana and Violeta, who had decided to go out after work for a drink. He started the car with nervous fingers and headed out onto the lonely roads. Everything was dark except for the car lights. Sadly, she listened to the record that had recorded all the songs that she and Dorian had collected during their first months of relationship. Now that she listened to it alone, it was completely different.
Loving Without Measure - Book 3 28
He was becoming someone who hated his own reflection. He wasn't just fooling himself; he was fooling Nora and Angy alike. He knew who he owed loyalty to and who he was in love with, but until she dared to take the first step, he would just have to keep… acting. Make a happy face; forced smile when Nora looked at him. But it was unsustainable. He couldn't reciprocate. He felt so obtuse that the slightest carelessness would spoil everything. While at home he had to accompany his young wife, and while that happened, Angy would be waiting for him at the hotel. Thus it was impossible to remain in one piece. It was like having a tornado in your throat and trying by all means not to let it escape. This is how he felt when he woke up in the morning and Nora was still by his side. They had had many discussions and the last one had been the worst, beca
