Chapter 46

• Emma had always heard and read in wise books, that happiness was something individual, that no one could ever give you that feeling that could only take place deep inside you, it had always seemed logical to her, because many people tried to fill their emptiness in others, without knowing that happiness was always within themselves... but, a few days ago, she had questioned it, she had questioned everything she knew, because if what she felt when she was with him, was not happiness, then what was it? What was that sweet sensation, similar to caressing a cloud? What was that sensation if it was not the fullest happiness that Leonardo gave her?
• Another month, almost two, they had four months of courtship, and she could say, without any fear of being mistaken, that those had been the happiest months of her entire simple existence.
• So it was that which drove one person crazy about another: the happiness he was able to bring her.
