Ashes in the Heart (Editing)

Radio

It is well known that when one part of your life is growing, the other is plummeting towards a major traumatic collision, that was life my beloved Amy. As extraordinary and fascinating as the moments lived were, we could not forever ignore the fact that all the problems were accumulating to the point of making a mountain so steep that in a very short period of time it would come upon us.

It was wonderful to have her with me, but so much uncertainty about the identity of John and the situation that involved them was breaking my mind into little pieces, I tried to keep myself as happy and sane for the redhead, but remembering the experience of the premonition brought with it the ghost traveling Loran incidentally.

I couldn't let all these shadows drown out the little bud that began to bloom with each solar day, so when everything began to intensify, I had the bright idea of a private retreat, just her and me in a place far away from all this. Amy had already been through so much and had enough experiences with people that it turned out to be her nightmares come true of her, she deserved to take a break. A place where no one will find us, where there is no danger or distraction and I knew the perfect place for that...

My father was a lover of hunting and life in the woods, I remember a small cabin where we used to go as a family to spend a few summers, it was very far from the city and had a private and hidden access. My father had taken care that it was not traceable and had no communications interference, so technology had no life in a place like this, all signals were neutralized and deactivated.

He really liked that we enjoyed that time as a family because they were the only days of the year that we could spend time together.

As soon as I broke the news to Amy, I concentrated on making a few calls to a few people to get everything in order, like my apartment where I would leave Rita after her days off and the place that I would continue to leave with a trusted acquaintance. However, I also wanted to rent a more rustic car for this type of trip since it was a very turbulent road for a common city car, I was looking for something sportier and smaller, in addition to doing some shopping to have a good reserve that would give us for some weeks.

After a few hours of preparation, we got into the car with all our things and headed down the old road that led us to one of the routes out of the city, a route that crossed the steepest and most forested mountains in the state, something simply magnificent to admire.

Since the story of Rita's past, he had noticed her as before, somewhat lost and distracted. I noticed how her gaze faded through the window towards nothing, her eyes were sad and full of concern, she seemed desperate to want to know how everything would turn out, what was happening was not easy at all, but feeling her hand squeeze mine without realizing it made me fall into the serenity of his soul. I gave her a quick glance to return her gesture and continued driving with her eyes on the road.

—Hey...

— I knows. — She answered intuitively. — Everything will be fine.

— I promise you. — Complete very firmly.

—You can't promise that. —She answered without looking at me.

—¿Because? — Ask curious.

— You cannot promise about a future that does not belong to us.

I silenced myself, meditating on the logic of her response and noticing that a certain fear was hidden behind her affirmation, but that in a certain way she did not let me ignore the reason that she could carry.

— So...

I began by being able to capture her attention and her look that was kept expectant by the despair of a hope.
