Because of the "blow", Edgar decided to sleep in my room, I think to make sure his cousin wouldn't return. It seemed cute, but at the wrong time. I don't feel like I'm part of this story, nor do I deserve this aggression from Murilo.
Worried, Edgar covered me with two blankets, almost making me die from the heat, but I scolded him. I endured the heat of a summer night until morning.
The sun was hitting my two windows. I wake up to the sound of the alarm clock telling me it's 9 am. I look to the side and I don't see him. I imagine he's gone to work.
Only Edgar didn't go to work, he was even preparing me a very delicious breakfast. It seemed like I was almost dead from the way Edgar is kind and caring to me. I even thought I had already won that man's love.
Leandro: Thanks for taking care of me, but I'm fine now.
Edgar: I know, but eat what's on your plate, because only then will I let you out of this room.
Smiling inside, but serious on the outside, I follow Edgar's order.
As soon as I finish eating the last grape, I hand Edgar my plate and get up.
Edgar: Are you really going to work? You know you don't have to, right?
Leandro: I know I don't, but I feel good to work today. Please, don't push it.
Edgar raises both hands in surrender.
Edgar: At least let me take you?
Leandro: Alright.
I go to the bathroom and there I take a quick shower. Touching my body, I remember him touching it in the early hours, even if without malice, but with care. And that's enough for me to fondly remember that moment of ours.
It was a beautiful day outside. I only had a small bump on my head, but it didn't matter because I was fine and very well taken care of by a man who might not love me, but cared about me.
At the restaurant
Luca: What's that on your head?
Leandro: Oh, I hit the door coming out of the bathroom.
Luca: Something tells me you're lying.
Leandro: No, of course not.
Luca: Did he hit you?
Leandro: Who?!
Luca: Your muscular husband.
Leandro: No, he didn't hit me, I'm serious, it was an accident.
Luca: Right.
At lunchtime
Luca comes after me with the intention of finding out the truth behind the bump on my head.
Luca: My sister's husband used to hit her and I found out, and when I found out, I put him in jail.
Leandro: I told you it wasn't aggression, can you stop?
Luca was quiet for a few minutes, but then went back to investigating.
Luca: If it wasn't him, who was it?
Leandro: My God! No one.
I walk away from Luca wanting to tell him what happened, but I was afraid he wasn't trustworthy.
Due to headaches, I asked to leave early. My boss refused, so I kept hoping the hours would fly by, which they did.
It was 6 pm and I was getting into the car sent by Edgar.
Driver: Mr. Edgar asked me to give you this.
I take a letter and open it. In it is written "You are my better half, be well." They were simple words, but they easily stole a smile from me.
