Nathan had taken a taxi to reach his brother's house as fast as possible. He came to the door only to see that the wood was open, enough to look inward. He came in, looking at the bag of provisions even on the floor, and Sam, sitting on the floor of the living room, leaning forward, sobbing. He quickly approached him, kneeling beside him, noting that he had not even noticed that he was there.

- ¿Sam?- He took his shoulder.

- ¿N-Nathan?- He looked surprised, with red eyes.

- ¿What happened? You look horrible.

- God...- He groaned.

For Nate, that was serious. His brother always made a joke, beyond dreadful situation. Always he had a bit of humor, a tiny smile. That none of this had now, and instead there were only tears, was something extremely worrying.

- Nate... Nate...- He took his arm, crying- You have to help me... please... little brother…

- Of course, calm down... But tell me what happened. Edna appeared at home, crying like a sea, and she did not tell me something...

- Edna...

Samuel returned to cry. Nathan sat beside him, taking him by the shoulders, holding him physically and emotionally. He had always been the stronger of the two, and now he was falling apart in front of him.

- I screwed all... all…- Sam mumbled, with wet cheeks- All for doing it my way... to not tell...

- Calm... Breathe... ¿Tell her what?

- There is a gilr… neighbor...- He wiped his eyes- Teenager... She harasses me every time he sees me... She try to i leave Edna... All the time... Today came and kissed me... Only when Edy came... God... His eyes...

- Let me see if I understand... Edna did not know she harasses you, she only saw you kissing her... ¿Right?

- I did not kiss anyone... I was trying her away...

- ¿Did not you could say that?

- No…- He murmured- I was very scared… And she did not want to hear me... I did not know how to react...

- Take it easy…

- She left her ring...- He showed the ring holding in his trembling hand.

- It is momentary, you'll see- He rubbed his back.

- She will not believe me...- He returned to cry- She will not believe me, Nate... I can't lose her... I can't live without her… ¿What I am going to do?

- Calm down. We're talking about Edna. She's smart and she loves you greatly, you are not going to lose her. Just give her time to calm down and explain everything in detail.

- I need her… So much… I feel empty without her...

- I know…

Nathan stayed with his brother for the rest of the day, trying to give him a little encouragement, to recommend to do, seeing that the stronger of the two, he had never been so fragile and wounded.

However, he had to leave him alone, at night. Samuel lay down in his huge bed, feeling the smell of his beloved. He hugged the pillow wich she used to use, and that was so perfumed, and he cry long, in the dark, sleepless.

He got up, exhausted, when the sun appeared on the horizon. Barely if he drank a little water, he feel a knot in his throat difficult to tolerate. Part of his soul was tempted to open bottles of whiskey and to recommence the cigars which he had been long ago, but the little willpower and coherence they are remaining on him, shouted that if Edna see him drunk and reeking of smoke, all it would be worse.

He walked around the house, like a zombie, thinking about what would say, as say it, trying to create a plan.

But at midmorning, he heard the front door open. He quickly peered into the living room, seeing Edna enter with slow walk, puffiness and fatigue, up to the couch.

- E-Edna- He mumbled, as he could, with his dry throat.

- Hello- She whispered, sad, almost without looking him.

- I want… Explain everything...- He approached.

- Is okay, Samuel, you do not have to explain anything... I understand it…

- ¿W-what?- He ask, hurt to hear his full name come from her.

- I always knew you were too much for me... That at some point... You would see someone more beautiful and... leave me...

- ¿What are you talking about?

- If she makes you happy... go ahead…- She moaned- She is... beautiful... and young... I don't… I know when to retire myself…

- Edna- He also moaned.

- It was nice… while it lasted…

Drake walked up to her and he knelt on the floor, nearby.

- Edna... No...- He prayed- Don't leave me… I do not want another woman to me...

- Yesterday did not seem...

- ¡She harasses me for months! ¡My love! ¡I was going to give her a restraining order! ¡I did not kiss her!

- It's okay- She closed her eyes- She's better than me… Is… Not... fat...

- ¡Don't! ¡It is not! Edy... Look at me... Please honey... Look at me...

She opened her eyes and looked at the man.

- I give a shit about anyone's body- He said- ¿Ok? It may be the most beautiful woman in the world, it does not matter. I could even look at her... But the woman I want in my life is you. You've always been, with everything and what you think defects. I love you whole, everything about you. I live for you, I breathe for you. Sweetie…

The woman looked away, wet.

- If you want leave me...- He continued, hurt- I understand... But I will fight for you. I will do everything in my life to show how much I love you, I'll go where you go... I'll live and fight for a second chance... for your forgiveness... I know... I know it was my mistake... I should tell you... But... I thought that would it bother you... I thought I could fix it... Now I know I ruined everything... I'm sorry... sorry darling... my love... Do not leave me…

Edna walked slowly, to sit on the couch, with her head down. Samuel sat beside her, hurt.

- Sweetie…- He approached his hand slightly to hers, barely touching- To me you will always be my wife... The one that makes me happy... I want to be with you forever… If i have to compensate for this error every day of my life, I will do it… Because I love you with all my heart... I need you...

She, who had only heard in silence, took his hand tightly, and looked him with heartrending eyes.

- Samy...- She ried- ¡Do not leave me! ¡Please! ¡I love you!

- Edy- He hug her, crying too- Oh my God… ¡I will never leave you! ¡Never! ¿Do you hear me?

And for a while, both stood together, wringing, crying top of each other, repeating each other how much they loved each other.

Time after, without much weighing up, they were sitting together, holding hands.

Samuel leaned his face in hers, kissed her cheek, with all the love he could, until finally Edna turned her face to kiss his lips. They kissed a few times with force, with kisses taste sea and the huge relief perching on they chest.

Edna and Samuel passed the rest of the day, together, almost without food for lack of appetite. Only they were speaking softly, being honest with each other, looking deeply. And with the night on them, they lay down, without carnal pleasure among them.

She was lying on her side, hoping his companion to hold her from behind, but noted that he did not, so she was placed face up and looked at him. He smiled tenderly, semi raised with his elbow.

- ¿What?- She smiled.

- Nothing…- He sighed- Only I see how amazing you are and the enormous luck I have with you.

- Yeah right.

- I want to tell you a few things, but I know you, I know you're going to stop to object something. So… Let me say it all and when i finished with an "end", you can protest. ¿Agree?

- I'll do my best.

He smiled before speaking. "I want to tell everything I love about you. I want you to realize how wonderful you are, without you can deny myself anything. It is so much that I have to say it in order. I love your hair" He touched one of her locks "The soft it is, how bright, how much it smells like you. I love your brown eyes… The way in which you see me, as you seem to take care of me, as follow my movements, as scold me or devour me in lust. I love you so refined ear for music, I love your nose and your prodigious Terrier nose. I love your brown skin, madly" He caressed her cheek "Its softness, its warmth, its smell, how much I love kissing. I love your lips so much" He touch both lips "And as you kiss with them. I love to kiss and lick them, and feel how back to me, when you kiss my tattoo or my scars. I go crazy when you use it to give me pleasure. And I love the voice that comes out of there. Your voice so unique, sometimes exotic hear when you insult. So sweet, so strong, so melodious when you sing, so loving when you're talking to me. I'm in love with your lovely smile that illuminates my life, and your laughter that give me a reason to live. I love your neck so sensual" He caressed her neck with the back of his fingers "I love your shoulders, your arms, your hands of angel able to break the nose to more than one, but that give the softest caresses the world. I love the way you can touch me and carresing me. I love your back so wide that I love kissing, your buttocks so delightfully soft. I love that chest that gave us so much trouble" He gently touched the area where it used to hurt her "I am fascinated with your breasts, I'm dying of tenderness with your stomach that always angers you" He caressed her belly, wide and affectionately "I could spend all day with my face there, resting. I love your voluptuous waist, your thighs fully hug, and love too that treasure you have between them. I love your knees, your feet. I love that mixture of muscle firm and smoothness of what your bad say fat. I love that feeling to hold you and feel so smoothness where put my fingers. And love more what's inside all this... That woman i fell in love with teenager and that every day gets even better. With so many virtues as defects. I love the destruction you do when you try to cook and sweet wonders that you know how to do so well. I love you so lethal as adorable, able to kill with a single arm, or drive a truck. I love that you can lift any weapon, by weighing it is, and never correctly predict a shot. I love your fears, your beliefs in ghosts, your fanaticism for horses, your skills as a thief, your way of seeing patterns where no one else. I love you to be slow to run but tirelessly when you do it. I love how you can give me as much pleasure in so many ways without ever complain about anything. I love the way you love me and you hold me, all the love you give to me. I love all that and I feel infinitely lucky to do. I love you... my love... Edna... "

Drake looked at his eyes, wet, emotional, behind a shy smile.

- And end…- He said, smiling.

- Samy- She mumbled, emotional, spread her arms to him.

Samuel bent, to feel her arms chained around his neck and hug him.

- Thanks Samy...- Edna whispered in his neck- Thank you… I love you too much...I love you... I love you, Samy.

- I know, my princess...- He hugged her, smiling - I know…

The man waited for her relax for sleeping. He covered her gently, staying behind her, hugging her.

- ¿Sweetie?- He called her.

- ¿Mjm?- She Looked at him sideways.

- I'll kiss you gently until you fall asleep ¿Do you think it's ok?

- Heavenly- She took his hand and kissed his fingers- Thank you…

- Good night my light...

- Have a good rest my love…

Edna settled well, with a smile on his lips. Samuel was kissing imperceptibly her neck. She could barely feel him, but it was so gentle and loving, what could feel it in her soul. She noted that sometimes kissed her back, her neck, her shoulder, her cheek, her jaw, her ear. Little by little, delighted, she fell asleep under a blanket of love.

He cared little the time it took to do that, or how tired he was. For him it was worth it.

Only he had the luxury of sleeping when he noticed that she was no longer conscious. He kissed her ear length and he whispered a last "I love you" before plunging his nose into her hair perfumed and sleep deeply.
