Valentina was frantically cutting her meat, trying as best she could to avoid eye contact. She was not in the mood. Polly's words were stuck in her head. This one never spoke for nothing, she had surely seen something. The Italian decided to put back her doubts to later. In any case, she would find the answer by herself.
- Why didn't you tell anyone you were here? Valentina asked to take her mind off things.
- Because no one needs to know my affairs. Thomas replied, looking up at the pretty blonde.
- So, I'm one of your affairs. Interesting.
The silence reigned during the rest of the meal. Valentina, while standing up, made fall a crystal glass which struck the ground and broke in a thousand pieces.

Thomas applied a cotton generously soaked with alcohol on the cut of Valentina, who grimaced.
- you are not going to cry for a little alcohol.
A wave of nostalgia submerged the young woman. The last time, we can say that it had ended in a completely inappropriate way.
- Thank you. Valentina said, in a barely audible way, without moving a millimeter.

He took her in his arms without even thinking one second, she didn't moved and even returned him his embrace. Her perfume, which was so proper to her and so bewitching, filled his nostrils, a subtle mixture of rose, vanilla and coffee. She was perfect so far.
