"We need to talk. I can't be like this. Your silence tortures me," Sergio said to Amoura, who remained silent but did not contradict Sergio's words.
Sergio took her to the beach where they were alone. They stared wordlessly at the sea, lost in thought. No one started the conversation. They did not know what to say. Until finally...
"I love you..."
The words took Amoura by surprise. She tried to digest the words of the man who had destroyed her stronghold to no longer believe in the word love. She was weak when Sergio suddenly embraced her. She tried to release the tightness that suddenly greeted her.
"Leave it like this, Amoura. At least until I know that you are here with me. Please..." Sergio said as he tried to shake off the man's embrace.
"At least let me breathe, Sergio," she replied softly, looking up at his face with a pleading look.
