"Sam... I'm here."
"Ehm... hi Elisa."
"Samuel, forget everything you saw a week ago"
"O-ok... b-but..."
"Nothing but... they are... very... private things and you didn't even have to know about their existence so forget about everything and don't talk about it with anyone..."
"Elisa, look at me. I would never go and say anything to anyone, I wouldn't do it even under torture, I'm sincere, but... I can't forget. Those... signs made you and still hurt you, you are important to me maybe more than you can imagine and... I can't see you like that. I want to try to help you. I know it will be difficult, very difficult but... I want to try. "
"You can't help me. I appreciate the effort and everything, but... I've never been able to help anyone, not ev..."
"Maybe they haven't tried hard enough... but I want to do it, you don't deserve all this evil. Just let me try, if it goes wrong you can kill me, I swear!"
Almost interminable minutes passed.
"Come here, you fool."
She hugged me.
Holding me tight, as if she were afraid he might run away at any moment.
I would never do that.
"Oh Elisa... please go back to my room, I miss not hearing you snoring!"
"How dare you!? I don't snore!! And anyway... of course I'll be back." She said smiling to me.
"See, you are more beautiful when you smile."
