„...and one bottle of champagne. That's it.", Emilio just ordered our food and some champagne.
„Alright, thank you.", the waiter nods and heads towards the kitchen.
I'm still looking around. He rented all this for me.
I feel Emilio's gaze on me.
„Emilio?", I look at him.
„Hm?"
„I was really worried you know?", he grabs my hand and strokes over the back of my hand with his thumb.
„I'm sorry, that wasn't my intention.", I see that he's telling the truth.
„When the doctor took you away, I panicked. Sitting in the hospital, I was so nauseous I couldn't think straight anymore. And when I finally saw you sleeping so peacefully weight fell off my shoulders.", I look down my lap.
Thinking back makes my body feel heavy. I shake my head and take a deep breath.
„I'm so sorry honey. I thought that it was nothing. When we were at the doctor I couldn't focus, I kept looking at you, you looked like your soul left your body. And at some point I couldn't see you anymore. I lost consciousness.", he furrows his brows and sorrow taking him over.
„My god Emilio, you have to tell me next time. No matter what it is.", I squeeze his hand.
„I will. Definitely. I promise.", he kisses the back of my hand.
We don't talk much for the rest of the dinner. I simply enjoyed his company and the beautiful view.
He gives me the feeling of warmth. I'm not scared anymore. Everything will find it's place and it'll be fine because I have him.
We're walking outside and the employees already brought our car. I thank and Emilio tips them.

On our way home I look outside the window and watch the lights passing by.
As soon as I step inside, I take off my heels and walk to the terrace door.
That cold night breeze blows through my hair.
I close my eyes, take a deep breath and make my way to the edge of the terrace.
It's like the wind is blasting all of my sorrows away. My body is light. The stress, the worries and thoughts all fly away. I can finally breathe.
I feel Emilio following me.
I look up to the sky.
I watch the stars.
I imagine how it looks like up there.
I close my eyes.
I float.
