Various thoughts won't let his mind rest. He's thinking about his father. He doesn't look like him at all, but everyone says he has a lot of his great character.
How unfortunate he was to die so young. To lose his life because he married the wrong woman. He looks at Mary. His own person. How beautiful she is when she sleeps. His hand touches her bare back. He caresses her surgical scar from the bullet. The bullet she got to save him.

Those days come to her mind. Those black days of separation. How much she suffered without him. How much he suffered without her.
With her fingers, she pinches the bridge of her nose. She needs a drink. Kissing Sebastian softly on the cheek, she gets out of bed and opens the door as quietly as she can, walking out into the corridor ...
