«I should go to Istanbul for a research: I thought… next Saturday.»
«That’s a pity: I am already busy.»
My half smile falls back into my throat: «I get it, don’t worry, sorry if I asked, I probably dared too much.»
«Yeah… no, I have to think about it. I’m at the embassy now, maybe I’ll text you tomorrow and let you know» she says before hanging up.
I say goodbye and give her my email address: leostudiosus@libero.it. I already know that she will never write to me again.
