章 42: Chapter 42

Opening my eyes, the expressionless face was left unchanged.

Only the path our tears left made a difference on it.

I lifted my right hand and slowly wiped the trace with a caress.

Nothing is certain, so, even if right now we can't become one and only soul…

'Let's keep trying, okay? Just… don't go anywhere I can't reach you, Marianne.'

Our cold body began to warm up, welcoming my request. Looking into the eyes reflected in the mirror, I could recognize that the gaze was not mine, but hers.

This made me the happiest I've ever been.

A gaze full of love and hope, assuring and comforting to see, one that expressed her desire to stay with me, was looking directly at the me inside her. I couldn't help but smile from ear to ear at such a marvellous view.

I kept on staring at the original Marianne for as long as I could.
