What she felt was so strong that words failed to describe it. It was so intense that the right vocabulary to capture that kind of love hadn't even been invented yet. Though she might just coin the terms herself if she could shed the lingering fear holding her back from taking a step.Having a relationship with her friend's father wasn't trivial; it was something to be taken seriously. She still wasn't convinced she should do it.She didn't know how he managed it, but the young woman's boss, Salvador, had called her into his office to tell her she could leave early. This happened right after Alicia's father entered the exact same office. She couldn't believe it—how was it possible that the two of them knew each other, too? It was a small world, and the universe seemed to be conspiring against her.Her heart strongly disagreed."I can't believe you convinced my boss to let me leave before my shift ended. Honestly, I don't think it's right, and I never asked you to do it. I feel terrible

Instead of taking a taxi—a mode of transport she could easily afford—Hope boarded a bus and sat next to a woman. She did it on purpose to delay her arrival at the mansion, as the vehicle kept stopping constantly, making time drag. She watched the passengers getting on or, lacking empty seats, remaining standing.She gazed out the window until an elderly woman got on as well. She made a kind gesture by giving up her seat to her, when no one else had done so. She wanted to prove to the grandmother that a little humanity still existed in people, and she felt good after that nice deed. Soon her stop arrived, but it wasn't the destination she had originally set for herself: it was the house of her so-called mother. She hoped the latter wouldn't be there and that only Leonardo would be inside. The day she had been kicked out, she had taken her belongings while keeping a spare front door key. If the locks hadn't been changed, she would still have access to the apartment to retrieve a few mor

"Obviously, it didn't take me long to connect the dots and I told her everything. She threw a fit upon learning I had known for weeks without telling her, but I managed to justify myself. I never intended to cover up Marcos's actions. She quickly understood, and then she went to find her parents to tell them everything. The bomb had exploded, and my best friend had left town after receiving death threats from Monica's father. I didn't think my father-in-law would go through with it; he was just beside himself over what he had done to his daughter, but he never would have dared commit the irreparable. I consider Marcos to have been an idiot, a fool, and a damn coward who fled at the first opportunity instead of staying to support Monica through this ordeal.""There's no doubt about it; he left without caring about all the sorrow he could cause. If my mother cared about him, that must have been a terrible shock. She found herself without support and, to top it all off, pregnant. I daren

"So you're saying your mom knew all about your relationship with Salvatore?""I had to tell someone; I couldn't keep my secret bottled up from everyone. But she understood. She didn't even argue with me about it—she really knew how to understand me."When she spoke of Sol, she started to cry, and Hope had to hold her and calm her down. The pain was still there; her passing hurt as if it were only the first day, and a few weeks weren't enough to clear away the heavy sense of anguish and that massive void."It's all right, I know. I know you miss her," she told her softly while rubbing her back gently."I feel so silly for still feeling this way, but I can't help it...""Crying doesn't hurt anyone," she whispered."Thanks for comforting me, anyway.""I'll always be here whenever you need me.""What do you think of what I have with Salvatore? I want you to be honest with me. Your opinion means a lot to me."She raised both eyebrows in surprise at the question. If two people loved each ot

"Thanks for cheering me up. You've always been there for me; otherwise, I don't know what I'd do.""You're welcome. You know I'm always ready to cheer you up whenever you need it and give you all my support."And with that, the chat ended. Each of them finished eating, and after completely polishing off their plates, they decided to stay and watch television for a bit. Not for long, though, because before five o'clock in the afternoon, both of them started getting ready for the evening celebration.There was no need to think about it too much; she knew that was the right dress—the one Alicia had picked out for her. Just looking at it again made her eyes shine, even more so when she imagined herself slipping into the spectacular outfit. She studied it thoroughly without stopping her sighs. Wasting no time, she went straight into the bathroom to take a shower, only to change her mind when she saw the bathtub. There was still plenty of time.Ever since she had been assigned that room to
