I knock on their door and some seconds later the door of a house who smell really good opens to me with a woman who is ready to embrace me''James come in'' she says opening the door wider so I can have enough room to walk inside the house
''Hello Marina'' i say as she takes me in her arms taking me a little by surprise
''How was work ? Wendy told us it was a hard schedule that you have'' she says walking to the kitchen
''It's great. The business is great and we do a lot of associating and it work pretty well for now so I don't have anything to complain about'' I say following her ''it's exhausting but what isn't ?''
She offers me a tender smile before looking away as she opens the fridge ''do you want a glass of water?'' She turns to me ''or a coffee in that case ?''
I chuckle and shake my head ''water is fine'' she nods and turns back looking inside the fridge. She grabs a bottle of fresh water and grabs a glass
''I know it's a cold day so I hope you don't mind having a fresh drink ?'' She asks with an apologie smile and I shake my head ''it's perfect thank you''
She gives me my drink and take a seat In front of me ''so where is my woman ?'' I ask looking around the house to find this one empty except for the both of us
She smiles ''she is in her old bedroom. It's been maybe one hour she's in there''
I nod ''I'll see her in a minute'' I say taking a sip of my water ''and where is Stephen ?'' I ask frowning
''He's napping. Apparently his treatment today exhausted him more than usually so he went to sleep a little or at least resting his eyes and his mind'' she says looking down at her drink before taking a deep breath and smiling looking up at me
''I'm sorry'' I say grabbing her hand and she squeezes mine giving me a sad smile ''i do what you asked me'' I tell her ''i look through the best oncologist and I contacted them but they all told me the same''
She nods her head discreetly ''which is, if you don't mind ?'' She asks almost whispering
''He is in a state four and it's too late to do anything. The treatment they give him will only make a chance for him to live a little longer but not more than two months if it work at 100%'' I say trying to be the more gentle as I can while I search for my words ''i'm so sorry Marina''
She shakes her head and gives me a little smile ''thank you for looking. Tell me what you paid for all of this and I'll paye you back''
''No''I shake my head ''you don't have to do that. I did it for you and for Wendy. I don't care about the money I lost. You need it more than I do''
''Thank you'' she says again quietly and I take a sip of my drink, finishing it. I stand up and excuse myself. I walk into the house taking my time to watch all the picture in the wall.
The picture of Wendy when she was a little kid. There's a picture of Wendy for sure with a woman who look exactly like her. Or more Wendy who look like her and I know it's her mom
They have the same hair and the same gaze. They are at the dinner table of Stephen and Marina's house and she has Wendy on her lap. Wendy is playing with her mom's nose and she kisses Wendy's hand
This is the cutest picture I ever seen and I know for sure I will ask Stephen or Marina to give me a copy of this one
I recognise another picture where Wendy is with her mom but she is more younger than on the one before. I recognise this one because Wendy has this picture at the house, on the desk so she can see it even in the bed
