Chapter 56

• She had not been able to sleep even a little longer since Leonardo's call. When her sleep was interrupted like that, she could not fall asleep again.
• She turned her head to the clock on her bedside table, looking at the time: five fifty in the morning. She knew that if in forty-five minutes, she had not been able to sleep, she would not sleep anymore, and it was with those thoughts, that she got the motivation to get up, lying down on the bed. A small moan faded from her lips, she wasn't lying when she said she still had after-effects from the first time she had made love with Leonardo. She looked at herself in the mirror and she had marks that little by little - to her joy - were losing their vigor. It had been too rough for someone who was used to boys her own age, but she couldn't say, either, that she hadn't liked it at all; she had loved it, and actually, ignoring the fact that he had almost forced her to go on to do it four times, she wanted to repeat it, maybe on a second occasion, he would listen to her when she told him she couldn't take it anymore... she hoped.
• Emma stood up, checking her cell phone and realizing that she had a message there from Liam. They had been talking the night before, he had told her that he was well, much better, they had agreed to pay a visit to Liam's parents, Emma had accepted, although she had not said anything to Leonardo, who surely would not agree.
