Chap.23 exchange of love Henrico I can't take it anymore, I'm going after Mariane, I've been like this for three months, I roll over and I don't sleep much, my mood is terrible, work isn't enough to keep me busy. Once again I'm here awake at three in the morning, due to finally kissing her, after so long, I'm thirsty and my body is boiling, I want her madly, even though I don't trust her anymore, it was pride that kept me away. But I need her body next to mine. Without thinking, I go to her, lie down on the bed, and hug her. My heart finally calms down as I feel her with me, and soon I fall into a deep sleep feeling the sweet scent of her hair. She doesn't wake up to my relief as I know she wouldn't let me touch her. The next morning I got up before she realized I slept with her.
