Give Me Your Love

Hand in shape

He sits down next to me and I finish math, I put everything in my bag and then I look at my hand

Grace: could you take off my band please? I don't want my mother to worry
Sam: you'll have to talk to your mother about it
Grace: I know, but I need to take it off
Sam: when you get home

I sit down in front of him and we look each other straight in the eyes, he changes his gaze and I'm amazed

Sam: today I quit my job
Grace: and now where do you work
Sam: I'm preparing a beautiful place, and as soon as it's ready you'll be the first person to see it
Grace: but you're crazy, you quit your job
Sam: oh well

Joe comes in and we stop to talk, we turn to him and he freezes for a moment

Joe: did I interrupt something by chance?
Grace: no
Joe: anyway, stay home for tomorrow, for the hand
Grace: are you sure?
Joe: yes, I want you to get better
Grace: okay

He gives me an envelope and I feel that there is something in it, I turn it over and it says this sentence on the back, I have collected this money very calmly over the years. It's yours. 2000 dollars, I am amazed by the gesture and I put it in my bag, I hug him holding back the tears, then I take the bag and Sam and Joe say goodbye, we go out in the car and he starts driving

Grace: where are we going
Sam: to the hospital, not only to see Anthony but also to have your hand checked
Grace: it's nothing Sam
Sam: a check-up won't hurt

After a while we arrive at the hospital and they take me to have an x-ray of my hand

Doctor: it looks like your index finger is broken
Grace: impossible, take a good look

We all look at the x-ray and it really is clear that it is "fixing itself"

Doctor: Grace, can you move your hand for a moment?
Grace: sure

I move my hand, especially my fingers, and it looks like they're healing themselves, I get confused too and then they let me go to Anthony's room, alone, I tell him my whole day and then I go out

Policewoman: Grace, what are you doing here?
Grace: Anthony

Policewoman: right
Grace: do you happen to know where Sam is?
Policewoman: he's downstairs waiting for you
Grace: thank you very much
Policewoman: you're welcome

I run downstairs and we go in the car together, he takes me home and then I put my bike down

Sam: can I come in with you?
Grace: why?
Sam: I want to say hello to your mother
Grace: okay

I open the door and see my mother sitting at the table with Theo, James and Anastasia

Theo: little sister, did you hang out with Alex?
Grace: but maybe
Sam: hello everyone
James: Sam what are you doing here
Sam: I accompanied her, and now I'm here
Anastasia: Sam, do you confirm that Grace seemed possessed today when she hit Alex?
Sam: possessed is too exaggerated, but yes
Grace: but I only hit him
Anastasia: you destroyed his hand and left half of his face full of bruises
Grace: better than nothing
Mom: did you break something instead?
Grace: no, my hand is perfectly healthy
Sam: can I stay or can I go?
Mom: I advise you to work

I look at Sam and walk him to the door, he gives me a kiss on the cheek and then leaves, I close the door and take off my bandage, I throw it away and let my hand breathe

James: You have nothing
Grace: I know, and now I need a moment alone

I go upstairs to prepare my clothes and then I go to take a shower, after I feel a burning sensation in my back and I look at myself in the mirror, I have two strange signals, but I try not to pay attention, I dry myself quickly and get dressed, I tidy up and then I go downstairs, we agree on what to eat and we make the meat, after which we all go to sleep.
