The tiny party in the room to Nathan and Elena involving only the five of them and nonalcoholic beverages. There would be time later to get drunk seriously.

They spent hours chatting, eating, slightly calculating the booty that It seemed to have more value each time.

With the sun already down, Elena and Edna separated a moment to discuss a handful of things, alone. Women's things, was supposed. Advantage that, Nathan looked for his brother with his eyes and he touched his wrist watch lacking. He was letting him know that the time together was approaching to zero, and it was time to tell her. He was asserting his ultimatum.

Sam knew it was time, so he stood, feeling his heart galloped and legs tremble. He went to women, thinking that at any moment he will pass out. He had never been so terrified in his life.

- Edna- He said, trying to sound normal- ¿Can I talk to you... just a moment?

- Sure- She looked at him.

- I better go- Elena laugh, away, patting the arm of Drake.

Elena approached to the young Drake and she sat with her husband, with Victor also nearby. Observers were expectantly.

- Let's go Sam...- Nate murmured- Don't screw up.

For a momento Edna stared at his old friend, how did not seem very quiet, close, next to the window.

- ¿You feel good?- She asked him.

- Yes… Yes…- He looked away- ¿How i could not be? I mean... we got this...

- You do not seem very convinced... ¿Problem with the treasure?

- The treasure is the least... I… I have major concerns in mind.

- Must be really serious, because with all that we got, you have to solve almost any problem for a few years.

- No… Is… different. And it's what I want to talk to you, but I do not know how.

- Thinks it's a ledge... Slowly and secure.

- Your… You know I'll do the compatibility analysis ¿Right?

- Yes- She was surprised- You already tell me that.

- And I will... No matter what resulting from our conversation.

- Sam, I'm not stupid. Stop turning what you want telling and do it.

- Is that… I'm afraid to say it. You and i are wonderfu friends, and I am worry that will go to hell.

- I almost died because of you, in that rescue of the remains of Shunjse and yet we're still friends. And we still friends, after your almost betray us that time in the Congo. I think we're proof nonsense already…

- That's the problem… I almost killed you in Shunjse and I almost abandoned you in the Congo... But in both cases I could not leave you behind, I never can really. We always had hope that there was a treasure, in the future, to meet us again, but this time... no more. The adventures are over. And Nathan said it... it is unfair that you do not know.

- ¿Know what?

- The why I left the treasure to sabe you in Shunjse, or because I repented to sell the information in the Congo... Or what kept my head lucid every year I was in Panama... There's always something, from our first treasure...

- I'm not following you…- She was confused.

- That do not care actually... Edy... What matters It is that I carry you in my soul for years- He looked her sweetly- Year after year… Always hiding from you. But this time… I want to go free of that weight. I do not care if you just see me as your friend, your brother, and don't care that I would like to spend the rest of my life with you, together. For now, I only care that you know at once, you know how much I've been loving you...

Edna stood still, watching him, with tons of information going through her head. In another situation she had thought he was joking, as usual in him, but he knew his appearance and his eyes to know that he was very serious.

- It would have been amazing even had a chance- He moved a little closer.

- God...- She sighed- ¿And you never thought you had it?

- ¿Ever i had it?

- ¿How someone so smart can be so stupid sometimes?- He shook gently.

- Edna... I…

- Sam- She stopped him- Shut up.

The men looked at her a moment, saw her luscious lips mutter a tiny "yes" almost pleadingly, as if she were asking him, for once in his life, forward. He took a step, taking her cheek and holding it with his other arm, as if afraid to leave her. He put his lips in her, kissing her at last, feeling her mouth giving it back, soft and affectionately, her hands on his chest. He closed his eyes, fearing it was a dream which should awaken, feeling an internal heat growing up with his happiness.

The remaining three observers smiled, happy to know that all the drama had finally finished, and witg the best finish expected. Elena snuggled next to Nathan, tenderly.

- Edna...- He told her, leaving to kiss her, looking close- You are my ultimate treasure...

Edna laughed slightly, with red eyes.

- ¿What?- He worried- ¿What's happening?

She snuggled into him, around his waist with her arms.

- I've spent so many years thinking...- She said, leaning hher forehead on his neck- Analyzing what you did, trying to convince me that you felt something, that I was not crazy... To determine if your forms to see me were friendly or if you felt something else... And i was trying to convince myself, that I did not feel that... That I did not love how was almost my brother... Until you died... In a second I discovered how wrong I was...

- We are a couple of fools...

- Promise me this will not happen again- She looked into his eyes, dropping a little- I don't want to hear these things at the last minute. Please… Always tell me these things...

- Only if you promise the same.

- I promise…

- Me too then- He smiled.

Both smiled, sweetly, before Sam kissed her forehead long and very tenderly.

Elena realized the orange light of sunset that was in the window, left a beautiful image, so she photographed, making sure that that will be captured forever.

- Well…- Victor smiled- The family grows ¿Right?

- Hey, it's true...- Nathan thought- Now Edna is a relative of mine... and Elena... That crazy.
