"You are too smart to know that I am not referring to any hotel, so let's not waste any more time."She was lost until suddenly her brain lit up. Well of course! How could he not have noticed the second? But it was madness, the greatest of all."I hope it's a joke, although I honestly don't like it."Nora drew her brows over her eyes to show her displeasure."Fuck, Angy," he snorted. You always do the same. You get defensive and you absolutely oppose everything without even having thought for a second."But have you gone crazy?" How do you come up with something like that?"It wasn't just my idea, it was Dorian's as well," he clarified. We have been talking about it and he is fine with it…"Of course that's fine with him!" Can't you see? He will do everything you ask of him and he will not refuse, but you cannot take advantage of that.The blue eyes of that young woman took on a colder and more combative tone."Take advantage of me?" How do you say that? I'm just trying to help you."Well, all you do is make things worse," Angy whispered. You said you were glad Dorian and I were more aware of each other, but this… ”He put his hand to his forehead. By God, he's my brother-in-law. You know how much it costs me to have a simple conversation. What am I supposed to do with him while I'm there? Stay quiet all the time?"Enjoy the house, get to know each other better, and wait until I get back," Nora replied calmly. I'll be away for three or four days.Her green eyes narrowed, her heart practically in her mouth, horrified by the offer."Is your plan for me to go to your house so Dorian can watch over me?" Do you think I can't take care of myself but he can make sure that nothing happens to me?-Not quite.-Do not lie to me."Angy, I'm not lying to you." If I insist so much that you go there it is for good reason.Angy studied her young sister's taut face, immaculate and pure.-Which one?"Dorian's neighbor is a doctor," he announced.Those words sounded absurd when he processed them."Wait, wait…" He showed a wry smile. Can not be. Don't tell me this is all for something so insignificant. By a doctor? Do you want me to go north where I don't know anyone to be watched by a man I don't know either in case I faint again?"You know Dorian," he insisted. It's enough.-For what?—So you are not alone and so that he warns you in case it is necessary.Had she gone crazy or was she the only rope? How could Nora have lost her mind? Dare to release a story of such magnitude and stupidity?"And what the hell is that supposed to change?" Do you think that by being there I will be more protected? He roared. That will not change anything at all. If I pass out, it won't matter. My body will not know how to distinguish one place or another."Damn it, listen to me, Angy." For once heed what I tell you. Our parents are very worried about you, and believe it or not, they agree to the plan.-Plan? Is that what you call it? -he mocked-. You know what? I dont believe it. It seems unfair that you make it up."I wouldn't make up a thing like that.""Well, I think they would have told me, and I just found out from you.""Because they already knew your answer, and I wanted to be the one to tell you."They noticed that the people at the nearby tables were glancing at them with the intention of learning more about the conversation. His tone was being too high and he certainly did not go unnoticed."Nora, listen to what you say." You're asking me for something totally crazy."Is that how you see it?" -whisper-. The really crazy thing would be to leave you on the island. You would spend all day alone."What about Dorian?" He works too, Nora. He has his life. It would be in the same condition as on the island.Nora had transformed into a kind of tiger. His fists were clenched and his jaw was clenched. He wouldn't give up until he got a yes for the final answer.-They have nothing to do with it. Do not you see? Okay, Dorian works, yes, but you would be much better there. At least there are a lot of people around, Angy. Tell me who you could go to while on the island. There is no one, and you know how long it takes sometimes to get to the city. She bit her lip. It is too risky.Seen like this, the truth is that it had a certain logic. He doubted that the fainting would happen again, but if it happened, the island would be unprotected, with no one having any idea of his accident. On the other hand, if she was in that palace of crystal and black rock, even if she was alone, she supposed that someone could help her. But of course, that was not the problem. There was a huge named hole in the road that Angy didn't want to go through."Look, I know how much you worry," he began. And I really appreciate it, but what you propose is too much… I don't know. I don't paint anything there.-Of course. You are from my family and Dorian is my husband. You are his wife's sister, do you really think you don't paint anything?Another fleeting thought came out of his throat without having time to mentally chew it."Is this one more test to return the favor?" -whisper-. To pay off his debt for the damn accident?Nora pursed her lips, silent.-It has nothing to do with it. Even if Dorian hadn't ended up crashing the car in the water, I assure you this idea would have come up anyway. It is a safety measure."But I'm fine," Angy insisted, mad with despair. You have to listen to me. Do you see that I tremble? Do I get dizzy? I'm fine."Maybe so, but do me the favor of obeying me.""I don't want to go there.""You are twenty-nine years old, you are not a girl." I'm surprised you put on this whole show because deep down I know you are terrified of having trust with Dorian. What has he done to you that you want to stay away from him all the time?He could have answered, but as always, it was totally forbidden."Put yourself in my situation," he implored. I'm shy, I find it hard to open up to people. And with Dorian it is different. He's not a friend, no. Turns out he's your husband. If we hardly speak when you are present, how do you expect me to go with him to your house for several days?"For starters, the house is big enough that you don't have to overlap all the time." Second, he knows exactly how you are, he knows how little talkative you tend to be and he respects him. It'll give you space, Angy. And I won't even bother you with my calls. I'll call him. When I return, you can return to the island."Or to my real home if I see fit.""Yes," Nora growled. So? Everything cleared up?"Not at all, Nora." It is not all clear. To start, I'm going to talk to Mom. And I want to do it alone, ”he added."But at least…" " We're done with that," he roared.Nora snorted as she pulled out money to pay for everything they had asked for. Then he got up and looked scornfully at his older sister."If you insist ...You don't know what you're asking of me," the green-eyed woman thought agonizingly, as they went back out into the street in the direction of the car. It was suicide, a leap into the void without a parachute. His absence represented leaving her way… free. Why had he gotten so angry? Perhaps because for a second, for an imperceptible instant, he had dared to think about the possibility of closing the gap?

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

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
