What did she mean by 'another one'?
We entered the house. Emily sat down and explained.
"It is not a big deal. I keep getting roses every other day from young men in this place. I've gotten used to it by now"
This was news to me.
"And is there someone you fancy?"
I know this was none of my business but, I was really curious. She looked at me and shook her head.
"Oh" That was all I could say. Should I feel happy? I don't think so.
It was already raining outside; we didn't move or say anything.
Emily coughed lightly. "I am going to sleep. Good night"
"What about your father?"
"He gets home late"
I watched her move towards the door of her bedroom.
"Good night"
I had trouble falling asleep. This wasn't normal. I prayed for a sign...an explanation. What would you feel if you were in my situation?
"I love you Victor, but you are not mine"
She still haunts my dreams.
I woke up and looked out the window. Still raining. I knew I wouldn't be able to fall asleep, so I went down stairs.
I suddenly saw a shiny blue butterfly outside the house. I wasted no time and followed it. The fact that it was still raining was completely out of my mind. All that mattered is that I get that little insect that seems to be the answer to everything.
Through the woods it went. I followed. I wasn't aware that an egg was below me. I accidentally stepped on it. There was smoke all over the place.
