Next morning, Sam got up somewhat later that Diane. She had already prepared breakfast. Sam gave a kiss to Diane and sat at the table, then he realized it had an apple pie.
-When you have done the pie? -asked Sam-... look good.
-I haven´t done it, Sam. Madeleine, the neighbor, has brought it early in the morning.
-Ah! Yeah? And why is that? -asked Sam- he was still half asleep and he didn´t remember anything from the night before.
-I do not know Sam -said Diane- you must to know it, i suppose...
Sam started to remember. With that cake Madeleine wanted to acknowledge the help received from Sam in her tragic moment. Then Sam told Diane what happened the night before. Diane was fascinated by history. After the fascination gave way to admiration and then pride.
-That you did was very brave, Sam.
-Come on, Diane! Don´t exaggerate!. I´ve always enjoyed when I was with women . The softness of their skin and hair, the feel of their body, their sensuality, their eyes, lips, the smell ... everything! .For my, women at the begining, was like a fragile symbol of beauty and sensitivity, someone that needs protection. With you, I discovered that women are more, much more. Beside you I discovered that you are intelligent beings capable of doing as much or more than us, men.
-it´s true, Sam?, do you really think that?. It´s wonderful…
-Yes -said Sam- the motherhood seems me fascinating. Inside, woman is more perfect and complex than men. You are made in order to create and support life in its first months. It's fantastic! .And I know because I have lived with you, beside you. I remember when you were pregnant with Samuel. OMG! You were much more beautiful, if that is possible, and also you was capable to get on with your normal life ... your novels, your gym, yoga, your hobby of preparing new desserts ... really you left me impressed. I learned many fascinating things about women beside you.
Diane looked at him and felt that her heart was going to explode for emotion. She sensed beforehand that Sam always thought so, but now he was proclaiming it aloud.
-So I think that hitting a woman is abominable, something twisted and cruel ...It is a cowardice ... makes me sick just thinking !.
-You hear yourself? -Diane said bursting with pride- is the most beautiful declaration you've ever uttered.
-Please do not start that again ... Go! We go to breakfast ... Sam said a little embarrassed.
Diane was very proud of Sam. He had done something brave, noble, ... but he also added his touch of humility. Sam was a hero, her hero. That event made her feel she was a very lucky woman.
