Occasionally, I stood close to Adrian but, not too close. In my mind, I felt that I couldn’t trust him. In a way, I started to not believe in his words about our commitment in the marriage. But, I was going to try to stay truthful in the marriage even if my happiness suffers.
We spent about an hour walking around and taking photos at various spots. Once outside, Adrian let go of my hand and looked at his watch. “Lets go Lorenzo. We have a meeting in thirty minutes,” he told him. “Yes sir,” Lorenzo said. They walked away from me without a word.
I looked down at my hand. I could still feel him.
He doesn’t want you. Don’t have feelings for him.
I let out a breath and continued my journey in the surrounding area.

Ring…ring….
I opened my eyes slowly to see that it was still dark outside. On the clock, it said that it was 2:23 am.
Who could be calling right now?
Slowly, I sat up and turned the lights on. When the lamp lit up, I closed my eyes immediately. I let my eyes adjust to the lighting of the room.
I got my phone and answered. “Hello?” I answered sleepily. “Is this Valeria Minetti?” I didn’t recognize the voice. “Yes. This is she,” I answered. “This is Dr. Martin Dwight,” I heard. He was my grandparent’s doctor.
“Oh. Hello. I didn’t recognize your voice,” I told him. I rubbed my eyes. “I’m sorry to have woken you but, I have some …terrible news,” he told me. Terrible news? “What is it?” He got my attention that I was now completely awake.
I heard a sigh on the other side.
“I’m sorry to say but, you grandparents were killed in an accident.”
My mind when blank. I felt the phone slip from my hand.
